NHS physiotherapy services

Physiotherapy is free and available on the NHS throughout the UK.

Depending on where you live, you may be able to self-refer or you may need to visit your GP or consultant first. After discussing your symptoms with your doctor, they may then refer you to a physiotherapist.
