The Physio Forum (Physiobob.com) Terms & Conditions
By using this site, you ("the Client") have agreed to the Terms and Conditions ("Conditions") of use with Performance Physio Ltd ("The Physio Forum") who provide their advice service ("the Advice Service") on this website ("physiobob.com"). Please do not use this site if you do not agree to all of the Terms and Conditions of this agreement. We may revise the Terms and Conditions in the future.
Disclaimer
Information contained within this site can at no time replace the expertise of a qualified professional in a clinical setting. Never disregard or delay in seeking medical advice because of any information contained within this website. The content of this website is provided for information only and is not intended to be used or relied upon for diagnosis or treatment or as a substitute for consultation with any health professional, doctor, physiotherapist or specialist. The Physio Forum is not intended to and should not be used to issue or determine the suitability of any medication.
The Physio Forum recommends seeking professional advice before embarking on any form of self treatment. If you have sustained an injury or have a medical condition, you should promptly seek appropriate medical advice from your doctor. If you think you have a medical emergency contact your doctor or emergency health service immediately.
Provision of Online Advice
We will only provide online advice if the member is 18 years or over. Once we have evaluated the assessment sent by the member, we may decide we are unable to provide an acceptable level of treatment advice, in which case we will give the member a full explanation & refund.
By nature of the fact that the advising physiotherapy moderators are not in direct contact with the member asking a question, the Advice Service cannot meet the needs of every forum member. The Physio Forum will endeavour to provide online advice based on the information supplied in the medical questionnaire and posting information along with any supplementary questions requested by the assigned moderator. However if the moderators feel they cannot provide a reasonable level of advice The Physio Forum will not proceed with the treatment & suggest that the member take alternative courses of action. In this case any paid advice fee will be refunded.
Online physiotherapy advice can never be as comprehensive as a face to face appointment with a registered physiotherapist. By accepting the terms and conditions of posting on The Physio Forum you fully understand that the people answering the questions are only providing commentary based on their opinions that are gained from the information presented to them by the member. Any and all advice must be treated as a suggested progression to a face-to-face assessment and treatment.
Paid answers will be advised by registered physiotherapists (Australia or United Kingdom) whose registration has been checked by Performance Physio Ltd. None Paid postings (free postings) and comments on paid postings from non-paid moderators can come from anyone. Doe to the expansive nature of the membership you acknowledge that The Physio Forum cannot possible check on the education and relevant experience of each member. You also acknowledge that comments and advice can come from members in many different countries who have varying levels of education. As a result you agree to consider each bit of advice as something to take to your local physiotherapist or other registered health care professional, and NOT something to act on in isolation.
