Divergence Consent to Examination and Treatment

I hereby consent to a physical therapy examination and subsequent treatment as recommended by the examining physical therapist at Divergence Physical Therapy and Wellness

Examination

I understand the examination includes providing a medical, social and physical activity history and reporting of my symptoms and complaints. I agree to allow the physical therapist to perform all physical tests and measures required to identify my physical therapy diagnosis, problems and prognosis. I understand that some tests and measures may require the physical therapist to perform a visual inspection of exposed body areas or palpate body parts that are sensitive or painful. I also understand that there are some risks in participating in a physical examination, including but not limited to developing soreness, increased pain, new pain in different areas, an aggravation of existing symptoms or a new injury. I understand that if I am uncomfortable at any time during the examination, I can let the therapist know and may refuse to continue the examination at my choice. If I refuse to participate in any part of the examination, understand that the physical therapist may not be able to provide an accurate physical therapy diagnosis/prognosis or develop the most appropriate treatment plan.

Treatment

I acknowledge that my physical therapist (hereinafter “PT”) has informed me of my diagnosis, prognosis and the potential risks and benefits of all recommended interventions in my proposed plan of care and I have been given an opportunity to have all my questions answered. I hereby agree to participate in and consent to receive the physical therapy interventions recommended by my PT as outlined in my treatment plan. I understand that the response to different physical therapy interventions varies from person to person and sometimes treatment interventions may result in increased pain, an aggravation of existing symptoms or a new injury. Therefore, I agree to inform my PT of any change in my symptoms and function so my treatment plan can be adjusted accordingly. I understand that I may decline any intervention at any time by informing my PT of my desires/concerns and that my refusal may result in a termination of my treatment if my PT determines that there are no other treatment alternatives or the refused intervention is essential to meeting my goals. I also understand that although we have set rehabilitation goals, my PT has made no guarantees that any particular outcomes will result from the therapy interventions.
