01

Common reasons to seek an assessment

Pain, swelling, bruising, difficulty bearing weight or reduced movement after an injury may require medical review, especially when symptoms are significant or do not improve.

  • Knee or shoulder pain after sport or swimming
  • Possible fracture after direct impact
  • Muscle or tendon injury
  • Persistent symptoms despite rest or initial care
02

Assessment and next-step guidance

Diagnosis starts with how the injury occurred, your symptoms and a physical examination. Imaging may be reviewed or recommended when needed.

  • Advice on protection, movement and activity
  • Treatment plan based on the findings
  • Referral for imaging or hospital care where appropriate
  • Travel review when departure is approaching
03

Do not continue through severe symptoms

Continuing sport or extensive walking without understanding the injury can worsen some conditions. Seek urgent help for major trauma, severe pain, loss of sensation, an open wound over a suspected fracture or a visibly deformed limb.

Frequently asked questions

Should I stop walking or exercising?

Avoid activities that significantly increase pain or appear to worsen the injury until you have suitable advice. The appropriate level of movement depends on the injury.

Can a sprain still need imaging?

Yes. Depending on the mechanism, symptoms and examination, imaging may be needed to rule out a fracture or another injury.

Can I be assessed before my flight home?

Yes. Use the Pre-Flight Assessment page and contact the clinic at least 24 hours before departure whenever possible.
