Except for those terms implied by law, which cannot be excluded and any other terms specifically incorporated by reference – no other terms apply.

These Terms and Conditions of Purchase are incorporated into the Terms of Use of Our Website. Please note all words capitalised are defined in the Terms of Use unless specifically defined herein.

 

3. Clients under 18 years of age

4. Purpose and nature of the Online Physiotherapy Services

 

You acknowledge that –

​

• no online service is a perfect substitute for an “in person” consultation with a physiotherapist;

• and as with “in person” consultations, 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.

 

5. Suitability of Our Physiotherapy Services

 

We reserve the right to terminate these Terms and Conditions of Purchase at any time for any reasons, which may include: limitations on insurance, your breach of any of the terms associated with the Online Physiotherapy Services, non-compliance with the Specifications, or where We have evaluated / assessed your condition and We believe that We are unable to provide an acceptable treatment online, in which case We will not provide the Physiotherapy Services.​

​

6. Provision of information by you

 

The quality and success of the Online Physiotherapy Services is reliant upon the information that you provide to Us. In this regard, you agree to provide Us with:

 

• accurate and complete information in response to Our online questionnaires and any follow up questions which We may ask of you either in writing or via a video conversation on the Internet; and

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

 

7. Provision of Online Physiotherapy Services by Us

 

We agree to provide you with a written document containing your treatment programme or other requested information via email within 12 hours of completing your full evaluation unless agreed otherwise.

 

8. Using Our Physiotherapy Services

 

Do not implement Our treatment programme or act on any advice unless you fully understand it. Ask any questions before implementing the treatment programme or advice provided by Us.

 

The slogan ‘No pain, no gain’ DOES NOT APPLY to any treatment programme or advice provided by Us. You must immediately stop using our treatment program and stop acting on any advice given by Us if you experience any pain or discomfort and contact Us as soon as possible.

 

You must not provide Our treatment programme to any other person. We assume no duty of care in relation to any third party.
