Delivering Expert MSK Care at the First Point of Contact
At HealthPlus, we specialise in providing First Contact Physiotherapy (FCP) and Advanced Practice Physiotherapy (APP) services directly within GP practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs). Our clinicians help patients access timely, expert MSK care while easing pressure on general practice.
"What We Offer"
Our highly trained physiotherapists are fully equipped to deliver safe, effective, and autonomous care for a wide range of MSK conditions. Here's how we support your primary care team:
Independent MSK Triage & Treatment
Our FCPs manage patients without the need for a GP appointment—handling assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up where appropriate.
Requesting Investigations
Where clinically indicated, our clinicians can request X-rays, Ultrasound, MRI, and blood tests to support accurate diagnosis and guide appropriate management pathways.
Soft Tissue & Joint Injections
Qualified to perform corticosteroid injections for inflammatory and degenerative MSK conditions—improving pain and function directly in the community setting.
Point-of-Care Ultrasound (PoCUS)
Used to enhance clinical assessment, support diagnosis, and guide injection therapy—available in supported locations.
Early Intervention & Better Outcomes
We focus on timely diagnosis, personalised rehabilitation plans, pain management strategies, and self-management support—improving recovery and reducing reliance on medication.
Fit Notes & Return to Work Support
Where appropriate, our clinicians can issue fit notes and provide advice to employers to support occupational health and reduce work absence.
Seamless Integration with Your Team
We work alongside GPs, pharmacists, care coordinators, and social prescribers to deliver joined-up care that fits the wider PCN strategy.
Appropriate Onward Referrals
When necessary, we coordinate referrals to MSK interface services, orthopaedics, spinal teams, pain management, or rheumatology—keeping the patient pathway smooth and efficient.
