Information, not treatment

Articles in the Movement & Recovery section are written to help you understand movement, pain and recovery in plain language. They are general information. They are not a diagnosis, a prescription or a personal exercise programme, and reading them does not create a doctor-patient relationship.

Why this matters

The same symptom can have opposite causes: a stretch that relieves one person’s back pain can aggravate another’s. Exercise guidance on this site describes what is safe for most healthy adults — only an assessment can say what is right for you. Stop any exercise that produces sharp pain, numbness or dizziness.

Emergencies

For chest pain, severe breathlessness, sudden weakness of face or limb, heavy bleeding, high fever with drowsiness, or any situation that feels like an emergency — do not search the internet. Go to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately.
