Physical Therapy Consultancy
Physical therapy consultation is an expert opinion about your condition regarding the factors causing the condition, level of pain, functional level, plan of care, and expected outcome or goal. The consultant develops a rehabilitation plan for the patient in collaboration with other healthcare providers and conducts follow-up and required modifications to the patient’s treatment plan. Incorporating physical therapy into the medical treatment plan overall manages the patient and speeds up recovery.
A physical therapy consultation is an appointment between a physical therapist and a patient. Its purpose is to discuss how physical therapy can help the patient, depending on what kind of pain or injury he is suffering from. This is usually offered by physical therapy clinics and specialists and is beneficial for anyone who is suffering from pain or injury and is considering physical therapy as part of an ongoing treatment as well as for anyone who has certain mobility problems caused by other factors.
