During your first visit, I will discuss your current and past medical history with you in detail before we start the examination. Please note that all the information you share with me during the appointment will be kept confidential. I will only disclose your medical information to another healthcare provider if you give me your consent or if there are specific circumstances that legally require me to do so.

It is essential that you inform me about all and any health conditions, or changes in your health, including any prescribed medication.

After taking your case history we will move into the physical examination which may require some clothing to be removed as appropriate for the condition being assessed. However, if you feel uncomfortable with this, please let me know, and we will discuss arrangements to make you more comfortable. 

Once a treatment plan has been agreed and if applicable to your diagnosis, we will start the treatment which may include manual therapy techniques and exercise rehabilitation. 
 

You can ask questions throughout the process and it is within your right to ask to stop at any point. If you have any concerns or discomfort during treatment please inform me during the appointment. 
 

Consent is an ongoing process, and the completion of a consent form is an isolated event. Though you may give informed consent today, you are not obligated to consent for future treatment. You can refuse examination or treatment (or any part of examination or treatment) at any point throughout the process.
