Referrals
When you fill in the self-referral form, please provide as much information as you can about your condition. This helps us assess your needs, understand your problem and suggest the next steps.
When we receive your self-referral, our team will contact you to arrange a call with one of our physiotherapists. This gives us a better idea of how we can best help you. The call will take around 20 minutes. Afterwards, we’ll discuss what treatment we think you need.
Self-referral is most helpful if you are suffering from recent injuries such as strains and sprains, or joint and muscular pain.
