Whityb MSK service is staffed by 3 experienced MSK physiotherapists and supported by a therapy assistant:

How to access the service

  • Self-referral  - either call 01947 899200 (option 1)

  • GP or consultant referral

  • Other health professional referral

However we get your referral, our team will arrange the best help for your problem as soon as possible.

Self-Referral via Physio Direct or online referral

If you are over 18 years of age with a musculoskeletal (MSK) problem, not under consultant care and are registered with a Whitby GP, you can access this NHS self-referral service.

This is the easiest way for you to access our service. Patients can refer themselves to MSK Physiotherapy and get expert advice from us even without seeing their GP either by ringing the Physio Direct telephone service on: 

01947 899200  

Referral via GP/consultant or other health professional

Alternatively you can be referred to our service via your GP, consultant or other health professional. Once we received the referral you will be triaged according to the information they have provided and you will receive an initial telephone consultation with a Physiotherapist.

Following this assessment your physiotherapist will decide with you the best outcome which may include:

  • Further assessment and treatment – over the telephone or face-to-face
  • Advice and exercises  with the option of contacting us again if no improvement is made within six weeks
  • Referral to another more appropriate service eg Podiatry
