Should I see a physio or can I self-manage my injury?

Not every ache needs a physio appointment, but waiting too long to get help can make things harder to fix or your recovery longer. Here are some things to consider to help you decide on the best course of action.

  • Self-manage the minor stuff. Mild soreness that settles with rest, movement and sensible changes to how you work can often be managed on your own.

  • Book in if it isn't improving. If you’ve got pain that hasn't eased after a few days, keeps coming back or is affecting your work, it’s time to get it checked out.

  • Don't wait for things to get really bad. Seeing someone early often means a simpler fix and shorter recovery time.

Why it matters
Getting the right care at the right time helps you avoid both delaying treatment and over-treating minor aches.
