When to see your First Contact Physiotherapist

• First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs) are highly trained physiotherapists, based within GP surgeries.
• FCPs have extensive experience in the assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions – such as back or neck pain.
• FCPs can see patients without prior need for a GP appointment.
• If you have bone, joint or muscle pain, of less than 6 weeks, are over 18 and are currently under MSK, you can see an FCP

What to expect when you see your FCP

• Give you expert advice on how best to manage your condition.
• Refer you onto a specialist service if required
