It is your right to ask your physical therapist about the treatment they have planned based on your individual history, physical therapy diagnosis, symptoms, and examination results. Consequently, it is your right to discuss the potential risks and benefits involved in your treatment.

    Informed Consent of Services Performed by Virtual Physical Therapists:

    Possible Risks:

    As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine. These risks include, but may not be limited to:

    • In very rare instances, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information
