You can often self refer for an NHS physio so skip the GP entirely. Have a look on your borough and your GP's website. You might be waiting a while though and depending who you see it may vary from getting you back to full fitness to just being able to walk ok.
On osteopath/physio I wouldn't rule out all osteos so quickly. The osteopath I'm currently seeing is much better than the physio I was previously seeing. Majority of my sessions are still assessment, strengthening, exercises and stretches with the goal of long term improvement. It's worth asking them how they work.

Does anyone have experience with lower back pain? My ego got the better of me and I tried to shoulder press a lil more than I should of. The following day I had an ache and now 11 days on I'm hobbling around. Fresh out of bed I feel good but worsens as the day progresses. I'm reluctant to see a GP as I don't want to take an appointment away from someone with a more severe ailment. Any ideas.
