It is now possible to apply to have physiotherapy sessions by self-referral without the need to be seen or referred by a GP. If you believe you have a muscle or joint condition that would benefit from this you can access the form by coming into the surgery or by downloading the form from the link below. 

There is some information here about conditions that can be helped by physiotherapy but please note that self-referral is only for bone, joint and soft tissue problems and not for the other conditions noted that would need assessment by our GPs or your hospital specialist prior to referral.
