Consent for Physical Therapy
I hereby authorize Katherine Shephard and/or such assistants to provide physical therapy services. I acknowledge that the purpose of physical therapy is to diagnose and treat disease, injury and disability by use of rehabilitative procedures, mobilization, massage, exercise, and physical agents to aid in achieving maximum potential, accelerating recovery and reducing the length of functional impairment. I understand that all procedures will be thoroughly explained to me before I am asked to perform them.
I accept the treatment recommendation of my physical therapist. I acknowledge that no warranty or guarantee has been made as to the results of this therapy. I understand that any aspect of this consent form that I do not understand will be explained to me in further detail by asking my physical therapist. It is my right to ask my physical therapist about the treatment plan based on my individual history, physical therapy diagnosis, symptoms, and examination results. I further certify that my physical therapist has informed me of the nature and character of the proposed treatment, of the anticipated result, alternative treatment choices, and the possible risks, complications, and anticipated benefits involved in the proposed therapy.
I consent, by my own free will, to voluntarily engage in an in-person session or Telehealth/virtual session through telephone or video conferencing.
