When to see a doctor, not a physiotherapist

Physiotherapy is not the right first step for everything. Seek medical assessment promptly if any of the following apply to you:

• Being unable to bear weight for four steps immediately after the injury
• Obvious deformity, or bone tenderness at a specific point after a twist or fall
• Rapid swelling within the first hour
• Pain following a significant fall, road accident or other major injury
• Fever, chills or feeling generally unwell alongside the pain
• Weakness that is getting worse, or numbness that is spreading

If you lose control of your bladder or bowels, develop numbness around the groin, or have chest pain or breathlessness, treat it as an emergency and go to hospital.

Safety limits and when this does not apply

• Do not return to sport on a joint that is still swollen, weak or unstable, regardless of how the pain feels.
• Avoid stretching a muscle that has just torn.
