I have been a Physiotherapist for 15 years working in Northumberland and also in North Yorkshire.  In my role at Gas House Lane as a First Contact Physiotherapist I am here  to see people with joint and muscle pains direct.   I am in clinic every Thursday morning.  I can examine, diagnose and arrange investigations if needed.  I can also offer advice and discuss referral to more formal Physiotherapy programmes.

Sophie Hodgson


Female

I commenced physiotherapy practice in late 2007 following my graduation. Having completed all the rotational junior work in acute hospital and outpatient settings I began working as a senior musculoskeletal physiotherapist in 2010. During this time, I gained experience in trauma and orthopaedics, rheumatology and rehabilitative musculoskeletal physiotherapy.  My skills of specialist assessment and rehabilitation were further advanced during my time in the Hartford orthopaedic rehabilitation unit, working specifically in the Lower limb groups. I also became a clinical educator for the Physiotherapy student program and developed necessary resources within the trust to help improve delivery.

In 2020 I became a Specialist Senior Physiotherapist working in JMAPS at NORTHUMBRIA before moving to my current role for Well Up North as a First Contact Physiotherapist in 2021. The role of First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs) in Primary Care is to assess patients with soft tissue, muscle and joint pain and to decide on the most appropriate management pathway. FCPs are physiotherapists with expertise in the assessment and management of Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. They may also be known as Advanced Practice Physiotherapists (APP) or MSK Practitioners.
