When to seek urgent care
Physiotherapy is safe for most people, but see a doctor urgently if you have any of these:
- Chest pain, severe breathlessness, or fainting
- Fever or new bone pain
- A new severe symptom, which needs your oncology team
Do not book physiotherapy for emergency symptoms. Seek urgent medical care first, then use physiotherapy when it is safe and appropriate.
