First Contact Physiotherapy
We have a First Contact Physiotherapist at the surgery every Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon.
A First Contact Physiotherapist (FCP) is a highly experienced physiotherapist skilled in the assessment, diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal problems such as joint, muscle, ligament or tendon injuries.
These injuries can be a result of minor trauma, posture, overuse or sports injuries. An FCP provides patients with easily accessible information, advice and guidance on treatment options for their injury.
To make an appointment, please contact reception on 01278 652335.
