About Us
At First Contact Physiotherapy, we’ve been supporting the NHS with expert musculoskeletal (MSK) care since 2019.
Founded in 2018, we’ve grown rapidly by focusing on what matters most—delivering high-quality, patient-centred care. Our experienced First Contact Practitioners work directly with GP practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs) across the UK, helping reduce GP workload and improve patient outcomes.
We also offer private physiotherapy and home-based rehabilitation for the public, athletes, and those recovering from injury—providing accessible, effective care when it’s needed most.

Our Mission
We’re committed to making MSK healthcare more effective, efficient, and compassionate.
Our mission is to deliver high-quality physiotherapy services tailored to local community needs while supporting national healthcare goals. We believe in building sustainable solutions that improve lives—whether in NHS clinics or private settings.
As both an employer and a healthcare provider, we invest in our team’s development and embrace innovation, empowering people to take control of their health and live well.
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.
Research Led Physiotherapy
At First Contact Physiotherapy, education is at the heart of everything we do. We are dedicated to enhancing clinical expertise through ongoing training and development, ensuring that our team consistently upholds the highest standards of physiotherapy practice.
Beyond our internal training, we actively contribute to the wider healthcare community, providing specialist training to the NHS, universities, fellow physiotherapists, and the general public across the UK. Many of our physiotherapists are also engaged in national and international musculoskeletal research, ensuring that our patients benefit from the latest evidence-based treatments.
