What does a First Contact Physiotherapist do?
Our First Contact Physiotherapists can assess patients with any soft tissue, muscle or joint pain e.g. back pain, hand pain, shoulder pain, sports injuries etc. The Physiotherapist will assess the issue and then decide on the most appropriate next steps, such as giving you exercises to use, requesting an x-ray, referring you for further treatment.
This is for patients aged 18 and over.
