Self-referral is available for adults over 16 who need support and advice to manage symptoms related to muscle strains/joint sprains/back and neck pain. This referral option is not available if you are under the care of a consultant for this problem, or if you have neurological/respiratory/continence conditions. If you have Pregnancy related pains, please ask your GP/Midwife to direct you to the appropriate service. If you have had recent orthopaedic surgery, please seek referral to physiotherapy via your GP or consultant.
Please note, self-referral is now available via the My Care App, helping you to manage your Healthcare needs in one place.
