Great news! New Physiotherapy service - PHIO
Our practice will move to the new PHIO service from April 2025
Our in house physiotherapist, Rhona, will move into this team and will no longer be available at the practice on a Monday
If you have a new simple musculoskeletal condition that would require a physiotherapy referral, Lanarkshire welcomes a new physiotherapy service to aid you through your condition. It provides physio support at any time of day, from any location, on any device with internet access. There is in-app clinical support mon-fri 9-5pm with a physiotherapist, meaning patients do not have to wait to speak to the GP if they need advice.
Please go through the link below for any musculoskeletal condition that physio may be able to help with.
