The doctor isn’t the only one who can help 💙

If you’re 16+ and have a new muscle, joint, tendon, or back problem (or a recent flare-up), you can book directly with our expert Physiotherapist — no GP appointment needed.

They can assess, diagnose, treat, give advice, arrange pain relief, and refer if needed ✅

Call the surgery to speak to reception 📞 Most first appointments are telephone consultations within a day or two.

Choosing First Contact Physio means faster care and shorter waits ⏱️💪
