For GPs, allied health & care coordinators

A clear, scope-safe referral pathway.

A conservative, outcome-measured physiotherapy service for persistent pain, deconditioning, balance and falls risk, and stress-related physical tension, with clear referral discipline and scope-safe communication.

We triage each referral promptly and screen within scope. Clinical reporting, including assessment summaries and progress updates, is typically returned within two business days of each key stage. Reporting time is not appointment time.

Suitable concerns.

We welcome referrals where conservative, physiotherapy-led care is appropriate.

  • Persistent or recurring musculoskeletal pain
  • Reduced mobility, deconditioning and reduced function
  • Balance concerns and falls risk in older adults
  • Stress-related physical tension and movement guarding
  • Post-injury or post-surgical movement rehabilitation
  • Patients who would benefit from breath, pacing and confidence work

When to direct elsewhere.

Please direct to a GP, emergency department or call 000 for red-flag or urgent presentations, including suspected fracture, acute or progressive neurological signs, chest pain, signs of infection or systemic illness, unexplained weight loss, or any acute medical emergency.

GC Integrative provides physiotherapy within professional scope. We are not a substitute for medical assessment, psychology, psychiatry or emergency care. Where a presentation falls outside physiotherapy scope, we screen, communicate, and refer appropriately.

We report back
