About Us
At First Contact Physiotherapy, we’ve been proudly supporting the NHS with expert musculoskeletal (MSK) care since 2019. Founded in 2019, we have grown rapidly by focusing on what matters most: delivering high-quality, patient-centred care that makes a difference.
Our experienced First Contact Practitioners (FCPs) work closely with GP practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs) across the UK to help reduce GP workload, speed up patient access to specialist MSK assessment, and improve overall patient outcomes.
Beyond our NHS partnerships, we also provide private physiotherapy and home-based rehabilitation for individuals, athletes, and those recovering from injury—ensuring everyone has access to effective, evidence-based care when it’s needed most.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make MSK healthcare more effective, efficient, and compassionate.
We’re dedicated to delivering high-quality physiotherapy services tailored to local community needs while supporting broader NHS and national healthcare priorities. We believe in sustainable, patient-focused solutions that improve lives, whether in NHS clinics, private practice, or at home.
As both an employer and a healthcare provider, we invest in continuous professional development for our team and embrace innovation—empowering people to take control of their health and live well.
