In the news recently is a workforce review published on 17th May suggesting extending the roles of physiotherapists and other non-medical professionals particularly in primary care.<\/p>\n

The document draws on research showing that 70% of a GP\u2019s workload could be taken on by allied health care professionals such as physiotherapists. In fact as much as 30% of what people present to their GP with is musculoskeletal pain.<\/p>\n

In simple terms this means if you have sustained a musculoskeletal injury that you should self refer to a physiotherapist instead of visiting your GP.<\/p>\n

Physiotherapists are more adequately skilled to quickly and effectively deal with musculoskeletal injuries saving you time and getting you back to fitness more readily.<\/p>\n

We are pleased to announce that Alyshea Houng-Lee has joined the team at Wandsworth Physiotherapy. Alyshea has spent the last couple years travelling around Europe working on the golf and tennis circuit so she has a very good understanding of sports injuries.<\/p>\n

She also has an interest in Women’s health<\/span><\/a> helping pregnant and new mums with low back pain, pelvic pain and post pregnancy pelvic floor and abdominal retraining. She works two days a week, Tuesday and Thursday 8am-12noon.<\/p>\n

So if you find yourself waking up with a musculoskeletal injury, don\u2019t wait 3 weeks to see your GP, book and appointment to see Steve or Alyshea at Wandsworth Physiotherapy<\/span><\/a>. We will quickly and effectively deal with your issue and get you back on track as quickly as we can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
