The Physical Therapy Consent Form is designed for outpatient rehabilitation clinics, hospital-based physical therapy departments, and sports medicine practices. It ensures patients understand the nature of physical therapy treatment, the techniques that may be used during their sessions, and their active role in the rehabilitation process.
This template addresses a range of therapeutic interventions including manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, modalities such as electrical stimulation and ultrasound, dry needling, and aquatic therapy. It clearly outlines potential risks including temporary soreness, muscle fatigue, and the rare possibility of injury during treatment. The form also documents the patient's commitment to following their home exercise program and attending scheduled sessions.
