About Us
Originally founded in 2006, we have been a leading national provider of First Contact Physiotherapy services to the NHS since 2016.
At First Contact Physiotherapy, we have rapidly grown over the past five years, establishing ourselves as a trusted provider of musculoskeletal (MSK) services. Our team of highly skilled First Contact Practitioners delivers specialist MSK interventions, ensuring NHS patients receive timely and effective care.
We proudly collaborate with GP practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs) across the UK, supporting the NHS in reducing GP workload and improving patient outcomes.
Beyond our NHS partnerships, we also operate private physiotherapy clinics and specialist rehabilitation centres, catering to the general public, sports enthusiasts, and professional athletes.
At First Contact Physiotherapy, we combine clinical expertise with innovation to provide comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for a wide range of MSK conditions—from back, neck, and knee pain to complex sports injuries. Our commitment is to deliver exceptional patient care, helping individuals regain mobility, reduce pain, and achieve their health and wellness goals.

Expert Care
At First Contact Physiotherapy, all our physiotherapists are registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP). The CSP, which marked its 100th anniversary of receiving a Royal Charter in 2020, sets the highest standards for physiotherapy professionals. Being a chartered physiotherapist reflects a high level of academic achievement, rigorous training, and dedication to patient care.
Our approach is guided by the four fundamental pillars of physiotherapy practice, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients:
✔ Exercise, Movement & Rehabilitation – Promoting recovery and long-term health.
✔ Manual Therapy & Therapeutic Handling – Hands-on techniques to restore function.
✔ Therapeutic & Diagnostic Technologies – Using evidence-based innovations for treatment.
✔ Allied Approaches – Integrating holistic and multi-disciplinary care.
At First Contact Physiotherapy, we are committed to delivering exceptional care, driven by expertise, professionalism, and innovation.
