Physiotherapy

The easiest and quickest way to access Physiotherapy in Southampton, Portsmouth and the Eastleigh Southern Parish area is to self-refer.             

A 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.

To self-refer to Physiotherapy you must:

• Be aged 16 or over
• Be registered with a Portsmouth, Southampton or Eastleigh Southern Parish surgery 
• Have a musculoskeletal (MSK) pain/condition

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

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.
