The service is made-up of two experienced physiotherapists who have the necessary skills and experience to assess and diagnose patients’ conditions. They can also make referrals for treatment, investigations, or to specialist services if necessary.

Our physiotherapists provide advice on managing conditions and work closely with patients to determine the most suitable treatment options. They address both short-term issues and chronic conditions.

When appropriate, our physiotherapists may recommend exercises, refer for x-rays, utilise local services, or refer patients to secondary care services such as orthopaedics.

 

Matthew Breeds, Physiotherapist: 

“It is estimated that musculoskeletal conditions account for up to 30% of GP consultations in England. Having a physiotherapy service at the practice offers many positive benefits for patients, including shorter waiting times for appointments, a convenient location within the practice, a choice of telephone, video, or in-person appointments, and lifestyle and physical activity advice.

Nationally, only 5% of patients choose to see a GP afterwards, and 96% would recommend the service to family or friends. If you are a patient with us and are experiencing muscle or joint pain, please get in touch.”

Patients aged 16 and older can book an appointment with a receptionist without seeing a clinician first. To make an appointment, call reception on 01480 406 677 and request an appointment with the physiotherapist. Alternatively, complete the relevant questionnaire online using Anima.
