Physiotherapy Service

You are now able to access a physiotherapy assessment directly rather than first seeing your GP if you have a musculoskeletal problem.

From a brief assessment, the physiotherapist will identify if you need to be placed on the waiting list for full physiotherapy assessment and treatment, need to see your GP for further investigation or referral to another health care team.  Please follow the link below.
