In summary, an appropriate referral would be an individual suffering persisting, on-going and/or recurring symptoms of the neuromusculoskeletal system that relate to an injury, altered health or a specific condition (either musculoskeletal or due to an expression of symptoms through the musculoskeletal system but originating in another system, e.g./ IBS).
