Physiotherapy Service
HS Health Group Ltd offers NHS Physiotherapy services under the “Any Qualified Provider (AQP)” contract for Musculoskeletal concerns. This allows you to receive consultation and treatment at no cost. Any qualified provider (AQP) is an NHS contract, which allows qualified providers like ourselves to deliver NHS based Physiotherapy services. This service is aimed at providing accessible service to our service users closer to their homes.
Our current waiting time is less than 2 weeks.

Did you know?
We are registered with all the major insurance companies and are able to provide the services under your private insurance cover. We believe in a multi-disciplinary approach to health care. Put simply, this means that we work closely with GPs, AHPs, consultants, diagnosticians and other health professionals to ensure the best care for you.
If you are a first-time patient or have no experience of Physiotherapy, we would be happy to answer any of your questions. Feel free to call for a chat or arrange a time to visit us.
All of our physiotherapists are members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (MCSP) and the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council).
Our aim is to provide high quality care and treatment in a relaxed, comfortable and safe environment. Our advice is honest and straightforward, whether it’s conventional physiotherapy or for a more complex condition. But you can be rest assured, that whatever the treatment, the outcome will be effective and tailored to your specific needs.
First Contact Physiotherapy and Advanced Physiotherapy Service
Our First Contact and Advanced Physiotherapy Services offer consultation, triaging, referrals for diagnostics including bloods and imaging, and onward referral to secondary care services based on patient’s musculoskeletal health needs. This service is delivered by experienced and highly qualified musculoskeletal physiotherapists.
We support Practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs) in managing MSK caseloads while improving service availability for the patients, and reducing GP and secondary care workloads of managing MSK cases.
You can be seen by an FCP on the same day.
