Digital physiotherapy tool could save Wales £1m per year

Patients experiencing musculoskeletal pain or injuries will no longer need to see their GP for a referral to a Physiotherapist, thanks to a new online tool.

The new PhysioNow digital assessment tool will provide 24-hour access to management and advice for patients living in Merthyr, RCT and Bridgend who suffer with musculoskeletal pain.

Patients can complete a digital self-assessment any time, day or night in English or Welsh


Initial results of a digital physiotherapy pilot suggest the tool could create more than £1m of annual savings if rolled out across the country.
