NHS Self Referrals

You do not need to see your GP before booking physiotherapy at 3 Way Physio. Self-referral means you can come straight to us, whether you are dealing with back pain, a sports injury, or a condition that is stopping you moving the way you want to.

3 Way Physio

NHS Self Referrals

You can now refer yourself to a physiotherapy service directly instead of visiting your GP first. If you do not wish to self-refer (i.e. owing to communication difficulties), or are under the age of 16, you can still be referred via your GP or First contact physiotherapy practitioner.

Below is all the information you need to self refer.

You have the option to complete the online form, or download the form to complete off line, which you can then email back to us, or drop it in to the clinic if you are passing.

There are also documents regarding eligibility and criteria for self referring for physiotherapy.

If you have any questions please contact us on 0118 969 2299 or email info@3wayphysio.co.uk.

Who Can Self-Refer

Most adults can self-refer for physiotherapy at 3 Way Physio. Clients need to be over 16 and registered with a GP in the Reading area.


If you are under 16, or if you would find it difficult to complete the referral yourself, for example because of a communication difficulty, contact the GP to get a referral from them to us rather than using the self-referral form directly.

What Happens After You Self-Refer

Once we receive your form, and once the referral has been triaged by our team, an SMS will be sent for the client to call to arrange your initial assessment. Your first appointment will focus on understanding your problem and building a treatment plan that is right for you, the same as it would if you had come to us through a GP referral.

The advice I received from Yves was excellent. He took the time to listen and understand my symptoms and then provided a clear way forward. I would highly recommend this physio.

I cannot recommend Rupali highly enough. She was caring and highly incentivised me with the plan of action. Each visit saw a marked improvement with my problem. I am so grateful to her for all her help. Very professional.

Fantastic physio treatment. I was given simple but challenging exercises to do. It's given me more movement back. Thank you so much

Presented with a painful leg and arm which was stopping me sleeping and required mild painkillers. Viviana diagnosed the issue, recommended exercise, massage and PNT. After 6 weeks things much improved and can sleep and move without pain.
