MSK Self-Assessment

 This is a free online muscle and joint (MSK) self-assessment that you can complete at a time that suits you.

It helps you describe what’s been going on with your body clearly, in your own words, and gives you guidance on what might help next.

Many people use this simply to get clarity or reassurance — you don’t need to be planning an appointment.

People often tell us they’re not sure whether physiotherapy is needed, or they want to understand their symptoms a bit better before deciding what to do.

• Giving you a clearer picture of what may be going on
• Helping you decide whether physiotherapy might be useful
• Saving time if you do choose to book later
• Identifying anything that may need more urgent attention
• It’s designed to support informed decisions — not to rush you into anything.

Not sure if you want to book yet? That’s exactly who this is for.

• Your symptoms come and go
• You’re unsure whether physiotherapy is the right next step
• You want reassurance before committing to an appointment
• You simply want to understand your problem better
• There is no obligation to book physiotherapy.

What happens after you complete it?

• You’ll receive a clear summary of your problem
• You’ll be given guidance on what to do next
• You can decide whether or not you want to book physiotherapy
• If your answers highlight something that may need more urgent attention, we may contact you directly to advise you on next steps.
