General information only
The articles, exercises and advice on this website are written to help you understand common health problems and how physiotherapy can help. They are general information. They are not a diagnosis, and they do not replace an assessment by a qualified physiotherapist or a doctor who knows your health history.
Every person is different
Recovery depends on many things, including your condition, age, general health and how closely you follow your treatment plan. Patient stories on this website describe individual experiences. Results vary, and no specific result is promised.
Exercise safely
If an exercise causes sharp, severe or increasing pain, stop and seek advice. If you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, are pregnant or have recently had surgery, please check with your doctor or physiotherapist before starting new exercises.
When to see a doctor first
Please see a doctor promptly if you notice any warning signs, such as:
- Numbness around the genitals or buttocks, or loss of bladder or bowel control
- Pain with fever, unexplained weight loss or a history of cancer
- Severe pain after a fall or accident, or a limb you cannot use
- A hot, red, swollen joint, or a painful swollen calf
- Weakness that is getting worse
Emergencies
This website and my phone line are not for emergencies. If you have chest pain, signs of a stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech), a serious injury or severe breathlessness, call 108 or go to the nearest hospital immediately.
