Many people often begin a consultation apologetically with, "I wasn't sure who I should come to with this problem" and follow it up with "I hope I am not wasting your time". We fully understand this dilemma - It is very confusing. Are you best with your G.P, osteopath, physio, pharmacist, or practice nurse.... or would it be better to go straight to A & E?
Realising the difficulty patients have in deciding who to see we are now offering FREE 10-15 minute consultations . We will tell you if it is something you can safely manage yourself - giving you a brief indication of exercises, whether you would be better to see your GP or other medical specialist, or if you need a more in depth physiotherapy analysis and treatment.
Physiotherapists are specialists in musculoskeletal problems. Many hospitals and clinics now employ specialist physiotherapists as the first people to evaluate patients with joint, muscle and spinal problems. They then decide on appropriate treatment, further investigations or referral to a medical colleague.
