Physiotherapy

We operate across Hampshire and the easiest and quickest way to access our Physiotherapy services is to self-refer.     

To self-refer to musculoskeletal physiotherapy you must:

  • Be aged 16 or over
  • Be registered with a GP surgery (excluding North East Hampshire - managed by Circle Integrated Care and the IOW, self-referral option coming soon)
  • Have a musculoskeletal (MSK) pain/condition.
Alert

Self-referral is coming to the Isle of Wight soon 
Your GP Practice will be informed once it goes live and direct you to that option to access Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare MSK Services.

If you live in the Southampton and Portsmouth City areas, you can self-refer using the accordion below.

Alternatively, your GP can refer you into the Physiotherapy service.

If you live in Portsmouth or Southampton, paper self-referral form is also available in your GP Practice or from the Physiotherapy Departments in Portsmouth (Jubilee House and St Mary's Community Health Campus) or Southampton (Adelaide Health Centre and Moorgreen Hospital). You can fill in the paper form and follow the attached instructions.

The MSK self-referral service will be closing outside of our operational hours. Self-referral will be open and available to complete Monday 8:00 am through to Friday 4:00 pm.  The service will also be closed to self-referrals on Bank Holidays.

Please consult NHS 111 urgently if you have recently or suddenly developed:

  • Difficulty passing urine or controlling bladder/bowels
  • Numbness or tingling around your back passage or genitals
  • Numbness, pins and needles or weakness in both legs

Please discuss with your GP before submitting this referral if you:

  • Are feeling generally unwell/fever
  • Have any unexplained weight loss
  • Have a history of cancer
  • Have recently become unsteady on your feet

Please contact 111 if you have any ill health that you think is of an urgent nature and for which you think you need medical assistance.

Hydrotherapy

The Hydrotherapy service does not accept self-referrals, or referrals directly from GPs.

To access Hydrotherapy in Portsmouth or Southampton, you will need to be assessed by a physiotherapist who can refer into the service if clinically indicated.
