When to seek urgent care
Physiotherapy is safe for most people, but see a doctor urgently if you have any of these:
- After a head injury: worsening headache, repeated vomiting, or drowsiness
- Confusion, seizures, or weakness that is new or worsening
- For these, treat it as an emergency
Do not book physiotherapy for emergency symptoms. Seek urgent medical care first, then use physiotherapy when it is safe and appropriate.
