FIRST CONTACT PHYSIOTHERAPIST (FCP)


Female

We have an FCP at the Practice once a week. She is a highly trained physiotherapist and has extensive experience in the assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions and sees patients as a first point of contact.

You may be able to book an appointment with the FCP without the need to see a GP first if your condition falls under the inclusion criteria:

  • All soft tissue injuries, sprains, strains or sports injuries
  • Arthritis – any joint
  • Possible problems with muscles, ligaments, tendons or bone, eg tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, ankle sprains
  • Spinal pain including lower back pain, mid back pain and neck pain
  • Spinal-related pain in arms or legs, including nerve symptoms, eg pins & needles or numbness
  • Changes to walking
  • Post-orthopaedic surer

The reception team will guide you to check you are suitable before booking an appointment.
