Consent to Assessment and Treatment

Patient Consent

I voluntarily consent to physiotherapy assessment, treatment, and care provided by the physiotherapist and authorised staff of the practice.

I understand that physiotherapy may include, but is not limited to:

• Physical examination and assessment

• Functional and movement assessment

• Manual therapy

• Exercise prescription and rehabilitation

• Education and advice

• Therapeutic modalities

• Dry needling (where offered and separately consented to if required)

• Other treatment techniques considered appropriate for my condition

I acknowledge that the nature, purpose, expected benefits, and potential risks of assessment and treatment have been explained to me, and I have had the opportunity to ask questions.

I understand that physiotherapy is generally considered safe; however, treatment may involve risks including temporary discomfort, soreness, bruising, aggravation of symptoms, dizziness, fatigue, skin irritation, or other unforeseen reactions.

I understand that no guarantees or warranties can be made regarding treatment outcomes.

I understand that I may refuse or withdraw consent for any assessment or treatment at any time without affecting my right to seek healthcare services.

I agree to provide accurate and complete information regarding my medical history, medications, injuries, and any changes to my health that may affect treatment.

I understand that failure to provide relevant health information may affect the safety or effectiveness of treatment.

I consent to the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of my personal and health information as outlined in the Practice Privacy Policy.
