Wednesdays only at Earls Barton Medical Centre, last Wednesday of every month at Penvale Park Medical Centre
Our First Contact Physiotherapist (FCP) is a highly skilled specialist who is here to help you with muscle, joint, and soft tissue problems—such as back pain, neck pain, sprains, strains, or arthritis—without needing to see a GP first.
FCPs are expert clinicians who can assess, diagnose, and provide steroid injections to help manage your condition. They can also refer you for further treatment or investigations if needed.
You should book an appointment with the FCP if you have:
- Back, neck, or joint pain
- Muscle strains or sprains
- Sports injuries
- Arthritis or joint stiffness
- Tendon problems (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles pain)
What to expect:
- A detailed assessment of your symptoms
- Expert advice on managing your condition
- Referral for further tests or treatment if necessary
Please note:
You do not need to see a GP first. Our reception team can book you directly with the FCP for suitable conditions.
