How to Know If You Need a Physio (or Just Time): A Simple Checklist

Not every ache needs treatment — but some problems do benefit from getting assessed sooner rather than later. Here’s a simple checklist I use.

You can probably give it a bit of time if…

• Symptoms are improving week to week

• Pain is mild and doesn’t limit daily life much

• You can still move reasonably well

It’s worth getting assessed if…

• Pain is not improving after 2–3 weeks

• You keep getting flare-ups

• You’re avoiding activities you used to do

• You’re unsure what exercises are safe
