PURPOSE AND NATURE OF OUR PHYSICAL THERAPY SERVICES

You acknowledge that -

  • No online service is a perfect substitute for an "in person" consultation with a physio therapist; and

  • We are unable to guarantee that our treatments will result in a cure of your particular complaint or condition. We recommend treatments that we believe are likely (based upon our experience and training) to be effective, but we cannot guarantee results.

SUITABILITY OF OUR PHYSICAL THERAPY SERVICES

It may become obvious to us that our physical therapy services are not suitable for you. In these circumstances, we will not provide physical therapy services to you. Instead, we will refund to you any money paid, and will suggest an alternative course of action.

  • Accurate and complete information in response to our online questionnaires and any follow up questions which we ask of you; and

  • Any information which could reasonably be expected to be relevant to your condition or treatment.

c. Third persons: You must not provide our treatment program to any other person. We assume no duty of care in relation to any third persons.

LIABILITY

Statutory Terms: The laws in force in Michigan and the United States imply certain terms into contracts between consumers and businesses. These include warranties that our services are to be delivered with due care and skill, and that they are reasonably fit for the purposes for which they are intended.

Limitation: Where liability cannot be excluded under sub-clause (b) above, any liability incurred by us in relation to our physical therapy services is limited to $1,000 unless we specifically agree an alternative amount with you. We would be prepared to agree to increase the cap on our liability in return for you paying a higher fee for our physical therapy services.
