While it is unlikely that you have many reasons to get yourself treated by a physiotherapist; you may be displaying a sign that something is not completely right. If something is physically bothering you, it’s always better to make an appointment with a physiotherapist. Remember that physiotherapy is not a treatment reserved for (professional) athletes only. In fact, it can be used by ‘normal’ people as well to improve their health in many ways. Physiotherapy considers the person’s lifestyle and personal situation in order to maintain well-being and to manage pain.

Based on your answers, you are displaying several signs that you may need physiotherapy. It’s always important to listen to your body. If there is something that is just not feeling right, get it checked out by a physiotherapist. Many people just don’t know when to ask help from a physiotherapist. Most of them are not aware that they need physiotherapy. Physiotherapy can be beneficial to many people, but they often seek help when it’s already too late. Make an appointment before a problem gets worse. Intervening early will put you on the track to fast recovery.

Unfortunately, you are displaying the symptoms typically seen among individuals who (desperately!) need to be checked by a physiotherapist. Everyone gets aches and pains from time to time, whether it’s stiff joints or a twinge after working out. Whilst most injuries are temporary and can be remedied at home, some types of symptoms might require treatment by a physiotherapist. Don’t be afraid or feel ashamed to reach out and make an end to your suffering. Pain is not something to put up with!
