When to Contact Your Doctor

Remember: Back pain is usually caused by joints, muscles, or posture, and will often improve with simple care.

Seek urgent medical attention if you experience:

  • Severe back pain that is steadily worsening over several days and does not change with movement or position.

  • Fever, night sweats, feeling generally unwell, or unexplained weight loss

  • Pain that began after serious trauma (e.g. car accident or fall)

  • A history of cancer, injecting drug use, or long-term steroid medication

  • Numbness or altered sensation around the genitals, buttocks, or anus
    Difficulty starting or controlling your bladder or bowels

  • Severe or persistent abdominal pain alongside back pain

  • Back pain that is constant, severe at night, and not relieved by changing position

If you're unsure whether it's safe to proceed, check with your GP before continuing.

Course FAQ

  • Yes — completely free. There’s no cost and no subscription. You just need to enter your email and create a password to get full access. The course is designed as a public resource to help people in severe pain get moving again from home.

  • No problem. You’re not locked in. If you think you’ve chosen the wrong version, you can easily switch by heading to physio7.com/emergency. You’ll need to sign up again for the other course.

  • Everything in the course can be done from home without any gym gear. You might find it helpful to have a firm cushion, a folded towel, or a yoga mat for comfort — but they’re optional. We also mention TENS machines in one section, but they’re more of a helpful extra than a requirement.

  • If your pain worsens during the course, or if something doesn’t feel right, stop and review the safety guidance in the first lesson. In many cases, adjusting your position or switching course paths can help. However, if you experience symptoms like numbness, bladder/bowel changes, or severe worsening, seek medical advice. You can find a full list of red flags and when to contact your doctor in the highlighted section above.
