Website disclaimer

General information about how to use the content on this website.

1. General Information

The information provided on this website is intended for general educational and informational purposes only. It may describe physiotherapy, rehabilitation, chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture, dry needling, orthotics, bracing, compression products, performance services and related healthcare topics. Website information is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or medical condition and should not be treated as individualized medical advice.

Health conditions can present differently from one person to another. A condition described on this website does not mean that you have that condition, and the presence of a symptom does not establish a diagnosis. Appropriate assessment is required before a healthcare professional can determine whether a particular service is suitable.

2. No Substitute for Individual Assessment

Website content cannot replace an in-person or otherwise clinically appropriate assessment by a qualified healthcare professional. Treatment recommendations depend on a person's symptoms, health history, medications, previous injuries or surgeries, functional requirements and other relevant circumstances.

Information on this website should not be used to self-diagnose or to decide independently that a particular treatment is appropriate. If you have concerns about your health, consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

3. Emergencies and Urgent Symptoms

This website is not an emergency service and should not be used to obtain urgent medical advice. Do not delay emergency care because of information read on this website.

If you experience symptoms that may indicate a medical emergency, seek appropriate emergency medical assistance. Examples may include severe difficulty breathing, chest pain, sudden loss of consciousness, sudden significant weakness, sudden speech or vision changes, major trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, or other rapidly developing serious symptoms. For symptoms that are urgent but not immediately life-threatening, contact an appropriate healthcare service for timely assessment.

4. No Guarantee of Results

Healthcare outcomes vary between individuals. The clinic does not guarantee that a particular treatment will eliminate pain, prevent surgery, prevent injury, restore function by a particular date, improve athletic performance, or produce any other specific outcome.

Any discussion of expected benefits, recovery, rehabilitation or performance should be understood as general information rather than a promise of a particular result. Progress depends on the individual's condition, treatment plan, participation, health status and many factors that may be outside the clinic's control.

5. Scope of Services and Professional Qualifications

Services are provided only by professionals who are appropriately qualified, authorized and competent to provide the relevant service within the requirements applicable to their practice. Not every practitioner is authorized to provide every service, technique or procedure.

Descriptions of services on this website are general and do not mean that every service is suitable for every patient. The clinic may decline, modify or discontinue a service where clinical assessment indicates that another form of care is more appropriate.

6. Treatment Techniques

Physiotherapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture, dry needling, orthotics, bracing, compression products and performance services may involve different techniques, risks, benefits, limitations and professional requirements.

The availability of a service on this website does not constitute a recommendation that you receive it. Where treatment is proposed, the practitioner should discuss the nature and purpose of the service, relevant risks and alternatives as appropriate, and obtain the consent required for care.

7. Results, Testimonials and Reviews

Patient experiences and outcomes can differ significantly. Any testimonial, review, rating, photograph or patient story published by the clinic should not be interpreted as a guarantee that another person will experience the same result.

Where testimonials or patient information are used in advertising, the clinic should ensure that they are truthful, accurate, verifiable and used with any consent required by applicable law and professional standards.

8. Fees, Insurance and Payment

Website information about services, fees, direct billing, insurance or reimbursement may change and may not apply to every patient or insurer. Coverage is determined by the applicable insurance plan, policy terms, eligibility requirements and other factors.

Patients are responsible for confirming their coverage and understanding any deductibles, co-payments, limits or exclusions. The clinic does not guarantee that an insurer or other payer will reimburse a particular service or amount unless the clinic has a specific contractual or administrative arrangement that states otherwise.

9. Workplace, Motor Vehicle and Compensation Claims

Where services relate to workplace injuries, motor vehicle accidents or other compensation or insurance matters, clinical care and claim decisions are separate matters. The clinic does not guarantee approval of a claim, eligibility for benefits, payment, reimbursement, settlement, a specific return-to-work date or any decision made by an insurer, employer, compensation authority or other third party.

Clinical documentation should accurately reflect assessment findings, treatment provided, functional status and professional recommendations. Any information shared with a third party should be handled in accordance with applicable privacy requirements and appropriate consent or other lawful authority.

10. Privacy and Personal Health Information

The clinic takes privacy and confidentiality seriously. Personal health information should be collected, used, disclosed, retained and safeguarded in accordance with the privacy laws and professional requirements applicable to the clinic and the services it provides.

Canadian privacy requirements are not identical in every circumstance. Federal privacy law and substantially similar provincial or territorial privacy legislation may apply depending on the organization, activity, location and flow of information. The clinic should maintain a separate privacy policy describing its actual practices, including collection, use, disclosure, safeguards, retention and access procedures.

11. Website Forms, Email and Electronic Communication

Information submitted through a website form, email, text message, online booking system or other electronic channel may contain personal or health information. Patients should use the clinic's designated secure communication methods where available and should avoid sending highly sensitive information through an unsecured channel unless the clinic has instructed them to do so.

Electronic communication should not be assumed to provide an immediate clinical response. A message or appointment request does not establish that a healthcare professional has reviewed the information or that urgent care is being provided.

12. External Links and Third-Party Content

This website may contain links to third-party websites, booking services, educational resources, insurers or other organizations. These links are provided for convenience or general information. The clinic is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, availability or security of third-party websites unless otherwise stated.

Users should review the privacy and terms information of third-party services before submitting personal or health information.

13. Website Accuracy and Updates

The clinic makes reasonable efforts to keep website information accurate and current, but healthcare information, service availability, fees, schedules and administrative procedures can change. The clinic does not warrant that every webpage will always be complete, current or free from errors.

Where there is a conflict between general website information and individualized instructions provided by a treating healthcare professional, patients should clarify the issue with the appropriate professional.

14. Accessibility and Communication

The clinic aims to communicate health information in a manner that is understandable and appropriate to the patient. Patients may ask questions about information provided, treatment options, expected limitations, fees and administrative procedures.

Where an accommodation or communication support is needed, patients should contact the clinic so that appropriate arrangements can be considered, subject to applicable requirements and available services.

15. Intellectual Property and Website Use

Unless otherwise stated, website text, graphics, branding, photographs, videos and other materials may be protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Website content should not be reproduced, modified, distributed or used for commercial purposes without appropriate permission, except where permitted by law.

16. Limitation of This Disclaimer

This disclaimer is intended to communicate general website limitations and is not intended to exclude or restrict any right, remedy, duty or obligation that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted under applicable Canadian law. The clinic should have this disclaimer, privacy policy, consent materials, terms of use and advertising reviewed as appropriate for its actual operations.

17. Contact and Questions

If you have questions about a service, appointment, privacy practice, accessibility, fees or another clinic matter, contact the clinic through its official communication channels. For health concerns, an appropriate healthcare professional should be consulted. For urgent or emergency symptoms, use the appropriate emergency or urgent-care service rather than relying on website communication.

Information on this website is general and educational. It is not medical advice, does not diagnose or treat any condition, and does not guarantee any particular result or recovery time. An individual assessment by a qualified healthcare professional is needed. Read the full website disclaimer.
