Full transcript
Mr Tanaka, thanks for coming in today. Can you tell me exactly where the pain sits in your lower back, and when it first started bothering you?
腰の右側が痛みます。三日前、仕事で重い箱を運んでいる時に痛め始めました。
Does the pain ever travel down either leg, or does it stay only in your lower back area, especially after standing for a while?
いいえ、脚の方には広がっていません。ただ、長時間立っていると痛みが強くなります。
For now, let's manage this with physiotherapy twice a week, along with some gentle stretching exercises you can do at home each day.
分かりました。でも、痛みが長引いた場合はMRI検査を受けた方がいいでしょうか。
If your symptoms haven't settled within two weeks, I'll refer you for an MRI scan at Royal Perth Hospital to check things further.
仕事に影響が出ないか心配です。倉庫で重い荷物を運ぶ仕事をしているので。
You can continue working, provided you avoid lifting anything heavier than five kilograms, and make sure you take regular breaks.
分かりました、気をつけます。ところで、家ではどんなストレッチをすればいいですか。
Try gentle stretches each morning, but don't push through sharp pain—stop immediately if it worsens, spreads, or doesn't ease within a few minutes.
分かりました。もし痛みが引かなければ、すぐに病院に行きます。ありがとうございました。
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
