FIRST CONTACT PHYSIOTHERAPY

First Contact Physiotherapy Services

First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs) are physiotherapists usually based in GP surgeries with an expertise in the assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions.

We offer First Contact Physiotherapy Services in two ways…

Through working closely with your GP practice we can create a bespoke physiotherapy service to satisfy your surgery’s requirements. 

By working ‘on-site’ at your company premises, there is minimal disruption to the day to day dynamics of the patient journey.

Having a regular on-site service opens clear communication channels between our physio’s, the doctors and the administration team.

 

If you require a first contact physiotherapy service at your GP surgery Pro Sports Medicine can provide this having had extensive experience delivering these services in the Cardiff, Rhondda and Gwent regions.

In the current NHS climate, Physiotherapy and GP waiting times can be weeks or even months…In response, we have created an easy access in-house First Contact Physiotherapy service at our Cardiff clinic.

We offer a 30 minute Initial assessment that does not require a referral. This replicates a First Contact Physiotherapy appointment where we can assess your issue and provide the appropriate advice.

We aim to provide an appointment within 24 hours of you contacting us.

A first contact physiotherapy appointment with a physiotherapist is ideal for the following problems:

  • 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 and needles or numbness
  • Post-orthopaedic surgery

 

The physiotherapist will:

  • Assess you and diagnose the issue
  • Give expert advice on how best to manage your condition
  • Refer you on to specialist services if necessary
