There is also a risk that your treatment may cause pain or injury, or may aggravate previously existing conditions.
You have the right to ask your physical therapist at EWMT what type of treatment is planned based on your history, diagnosis, symptoms, and testing results. You may also discuss what potential risks and benefits exist for a specific treatment. You have the right to decline any portion of your treatment at any time during your treatment.
Therapeutic exercises are an integral part of most physical therapy treatment plans. Exercise has inherent physical risks associated with it. If you have any questions regarding the type of exercise you are performing and any specific risks associated with your exercises, your EWMT therapist will be glad to answer them.
