Consent To Treatment
The Ontario Government prefers the patient to give consent to treatment in writing. By signing this Consent Form you acknowledge that you consent to treatment and have had your questions about treatment answered to your satisfaction.
Osteopathy, Physiotherapy, Massage, to name the few treatments we provide may include manual therapies where the health practitioner places his or her hands on your body such as your anterior chest wall, pelvis floor and pubic bones. We may ask you to remove some of your clothing and will drape you appropriately to facilitate treatment. You need to be aware that many treatment techniques may involve some contact between your body and the health practitioner’s body. For certain osteopathic internal treatments, we may have to work in your mouth. In this case, a disposable vinyl glove will be worn.
We, as a team, are committed to providing an excellent quality of treatment and hospitality to our patients. If you do not feel comfortable with a given technique, please tell your practitioner immediately. The technique will be discontinued or modified so it is comfortable for you.
