Using our Physiotherapy Services​

​

Purpose and Nature of our Physiotherapy Services​

You acknowledge that -​

no online service is a perfect substitute for an "in person" consultation with a physiotherapist; and we are unable to guarantee that our treatments will result in a cure of your particular complaint or condition. We solely recommend treatments that we believe are likely (based upon our extensive experience and training) to be effective, but we cannot guarantee results.

​

Provision of Information by You​

You acknowledge that in delivering our physiotherapy services, we are completely reliant upon the information that you provide us. In this regard, you agree to provide us with accurate and complete information in response to any of 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.​

​​

Provision of Advice by Us​

We agree to provide you with a written document containing your treatment/exercise programme or other requested information by email within 10 business days.

​

a. Full understanding required: You must not implement our treatment program or act on any advice unless you fully understand it. Please ask any questions before implementing any treatment program or acting on any advice provided by us.

​

b. Cessation: You must immediately cease using our treatment program and cease acting upon any advice given by us if you experience any pain or discomfort. In these circumstances, you must contact us as soon as possible to determine the next course of action.

​

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.

​

Suitability of our Physiotherapy Services​

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

Limitation on our liability to you

Our liability to compensate you for any loss or damage (in the case of loss or damage other than death or personal injury) is limited to a reasonable amount (and not exceeding the amount you pay in total for the Services), having regard to such factors as whether the damage was due to a negligent act or omission by Flexibility Matters Ltd.

​

Indemnity

You agree that you will indemnify us against any and all loss or damage suffered, including any legal fees or costs, as a result of any breach of this agreement by you.

​

Early termination

In exceptional circumstances, such as illness or other commitments, inappropriate behaviour by you/your child, refusal to be treated in a reasonable way, actual or potential conflict of interest, or other reasons, we may decide to terminate the Services early and/or refuse or be unable to provide further sessions to you/your child. In such circumstances, we shall give you reasonable notice of termination where practicable and will refund to you any advance payment made for sessions not yet provided.

​

Severance

If a Court or any other competent authority finds that any provision of this contract (or any part of any provision) is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall, to the extent required, be deemed deleted and the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of the contract will not be affected.
