Informed Consent
Physiotherapy is a healthcare service that is provided to manage a variety of conditions. The purpose of physiotherapy is to treat disease, injury and disability by examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis and intervention by use of rehabilitative procedures such as mobilisation, massage, exercises, and physical agents to aid the patient in achieving their maximum potential within their capabilities and to reduce the length of recovery.
​
All procedures and treatments will be thoroughly explained to you before they are performed. Response to physiotherapy intervention varies from person to person; hence, it is not possible to accurately predict your response to a specific modality, procedure, or exercise protocol. Sean Charman Physiotherapy does not guarantee what your reaction will be to a specific treatment, nor does it guarantee that the treatment will help resolve the condition that you are seeking treatment for.
​
Furthermore, there is a possibility that the physiotherapy treatment may result in aggravation of existing symptoms and may cause pain or injury. It is your right to decline any part of your treatment at any time before or during treatment, should you feel any discomfort or pain or have other unresolved concerns.
​
It is your right to ask your physiotherapist about the treatment they have planned based on your individual history, physiotherapy diagnosis, symptoms, and examination results. Consequently, it is your right to discuss the potential risks and benefits involved in your treatment.
