As Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner (APP) main role is to decide, in collaboration with patients, the best course of management for their musculoskeletal issue. 

This involves listening to the patient story, asking relevant questions and conducting an appropriate physical assessment to decide how best to proceed.

This may involve: advice regarding physical activity and lifestyle changes, referral to physiotherapy, arranging further investigations, injection therapy, referral to our colleagues in secondary care (Orthopaedics, Rheumatology or Pain services), or, which is often the case, a combination of these options.
