-
CONSENT TO TREATMENT
By accepting these terms and conditions, you:
-
consent to our therapists performing all necessary examinations, manipulations, therapy, rehabilitation and medical diagnostic procedures in accordance with their professional training and understanding of your injury;
-
understand that you have an opportunity to discuss with your therapist, the nature and purpose of your physiotherapy care before any treatment is rendered; and
-
acknowledge and accept:
-
the physical nature of physiotherapy and related treatments;
-
you have the right to see the therapist of your choice, refuse intervention or seek a further opinion and to provide feedback and make a complaint;
-
the adverse risks associated with treatment, including stiffness and soreness, soft tissue injury, neurological complications, cerebrovascular injuries, skin irritations, burns and other minor complications;
-
the probability of risk is lowered by screening procedures;
-
other treatment options exist if the risk of physiotherapy is considered to be high,
including medication, medical care, hospitalization and surgery;
-
the risk of remaining untreated includes the formation of adhesions, scar tissue and other degenerative changes. these changes can further reduce skeletal mobility, and induce chronic pain cycles. it is quite probable that delay of treatment will complicate the condition and make future rehabilitation more difficult; and
-
most clients receive our services without the need of a medical or other referral. however, in the event a referral from another practitioner has been given, it is highly recommended that such a referral is provided to the treating therapist to assist in the continuity of care and our delivery of the most appropriate treatment for the client/patient.
