Physio Treatment

Physiotherapy treatment techniques recommended to you may include, but are not limited to: manual techniques, spinal manipulation, therapeutic exercise, electrotherapeutic modalities, as well as other techniques
and procedures your treating physiotherapist determines may improve your function. Your physiotherapist will explain the
benefits, side effects and potential complications of each chosen technique before use.

Throughout your recovery program, any questions or concerns you may have about any recommended treatment must be
shared with your physiotherapist immediately so they can explain the treatment rationale and/ or modify your program
appropriately. If at any time you choose not to participate in the course of treatment, please tell your physiotherapist
immediately.

By consenting to treatment with any of the physiotherapists, you hereby freely consent to participate in the physical and functional assessment and
recommended treatment program (based on my medical history, diagnosis, symptoms and assessment results) delivered by those authorized in this clinic. You have been informed of the potential risks associated with physio/active rehab treatments, they include, but are not limited to burns modalities, redness, increased discomfort, re-injury, muscle sprains and strains and fractured bones. You understand that you may have increased soreness following treatment and will inform the therapist immediately of any concerns. Any potential risks and/or side effects related to assessment and/or treatments will be discussed beforehand with the physiotherapist.
