GetUBetter Referral Page

Self-referral to physiotherapy has changed. Many new episodes of musculoskeletal pain will settle quickly with self-management, so in the first instance we are providing a new digital resource to support your recovery in the form of the getUBetter app. We suggest you try this approach first before self-referring to physiotherapy, assuming you are comfortable with using digital technology. You can even self-refer for physiotherapy through the getUBetter app too.

 If you are not comfortable with using digital technology, please contact the physiotherapy team on 0121 812 3500.
