Communication and Education
Educating the patient with respect to their injury, probable cause, impact on activity, and prognosis with an estimated time line to recovery is usually covered with the initial stages of treatment. We believe that a well informed patient is more likely to succeed in their rehabilitation program.
If there is a concern that arises during the course of treatment that is beyond the scope of practice of physiotherapy, appropriate referrals are initiated to health care professionals with the required expertise.
