Abstract
Most referrals made to physiotherapists were for musculoskeletal problems. However, even among the most commonly referred problems (such as back complaints and osteoarthritis), the likelihood of referral was low when they presented as a new problem. There is an opportunity to increase referrals from general practice to physiotherapy for many common conditions with effective physiotherapy interventions.
