What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapists use a number of different techniques to help restore wellbeing to people following injury, pain or disability.
Physiotherapists have an extensive knowledge of human anatomy and physiology and are trained to evaluate and improve movement and function of the body.
They can treat conditions that affect people of all ages and social groups and have a role in preventing injuries from occurring in the workplace or on the sports field.
Why self-referral?
Self-referral is becoming more widely practices. The benefit of self-referral include
- Saving time for both GPs and patents
- Reducing waiting times and improving attendance levels of appointments
- Empowering patients to manage their condition.
Your referral will be treated in the same way as if your GP had referred you.
You may be telephoned to discuss your referral and we may be able to provide advice and exercise over the telephone.
