However, you don’t have to live with muscle and joint pain. First contact physiotherapists (FCPs) are advanced practice physiotherapists based in your GP practice. There is an FCP in every GP practice in the Highland HSCP area, and on average we see 35,000 of patients per year. And now, the FCP service has recently launched a year-long trial use of Phio: a digital MSK physiotherapy assessment product. Anyone aged 16 or over and registered with any GP practice in NHS Highland with pain or discomfort relating to muscles, joints or ligaments can try Phio.
