How long will you have to wait?

This depends on the current physiotherapy service waiting list (GP referred and self-referred patients will wait for the same time). Please be advised our routine waiting times may be up to 14-weeks for an appointment, however, urgent problems are usually seen within a few weeks.

If your symptoms get significantly worse while you are waiting then you are advised to see your GP
