CONSENT TO TREATMENT
By requesting and agreeing to treatment, you provide consent for our therapists to conduct all necessary assessments and interventions appropriate to your pet’s condition. These may include, but are not limited to, physical examinations, manual therapy, mobilisations, exercise therapy, diagnostic procedures, and prescribed exercises.
You retain the right to discuss the proposed physiotherapy plan, including its nature and purpose, with your therapist prior to the commencement of treatment.
By proceeding with treatment, you acknowledge and accept the following:

You have the right to decline or discontinue any intervention at any time, seek a second opinion, and provide feedback or make a complaint.

Physio therapies may carry certain risks, including but not limited to soreness, stiffness, soft tissue injury, neurological complications, cerebrovascular incidents, burns, and skin irritation.

There are also risks associated with delaying or forgoing treatment, such as the development of tissue adhesions, excessive scar tissue formation, and other degenerative changes.
-
The likelihood of adverse effects is minimised through thorough clinical assessment and professional judgment.
A referral is not required to attend the clinic. However, if your pet has been referred by a veterinarian or other healthcare provider, we recommend bringing any relevant documentation to ensure continuity of care.
