Physiotherapy and MSK care
Musculoskeletal (MSK) care helps with problems affecting muscles, joints, bones and nerves — from back pain and sports injuries to recovery after surgery. It includes physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic, sports injury clinics and podiatry. Physiotherapists and podiatrists are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC); osteopaths with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC); and chiropractors with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC).
NHS and private options
Physiotherapy is available on the NHS, usually via a GP referral or, in many areas, by self-referral — though waits can be long. Many people choose private physiotherapy, osteopathy or chiropractic for quicker access and more frequent sessions. Fees are set by each clinic.
What these clinics treat
- Physiotherapy — back and neck pain, post-injury and post-operative rehabilitation, mobility.
- Sports injury clinics — assessment and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries.
- Osteopathy & chiropractic — manual approaches to joint and muscle problems.
- Podiatry / chiropody — foot and lower-limb care.
Choosing a clinic

Frequently Asked Questions
No. You can usually book private physiotherapy, osteopathy or chiropractic directly, without a GP referral. NHS physiotherapy normally requires a GP referral or, in many areas, self-referral.
All treat musculoskeletal problems but train and are regulated differently. Physiotherapists (and podiatrists) are registered with the HCPC, osteopaths with the General Osteopathic Council, and chiropractors with the General Chiropractic Council. The right choice depends on your problem and preference.
It varies with the condition and how you respond. A clinician should assess you and explain a likely plan at your first appointment. Be wary of anyone promising a fixed cure in a set number of sessions before assessing you.
Physiotherapists must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Always check that the practitioner is registered with the appropriate body for their profession.
