Workstation Evaluation Terms of Service

Finn Physical Therapy offers virtual workstation evaluations and wellness services.  As a condition of receiving our services, you agree to the following.  If you do not agree, do not sign up for our services.

• You attest that you are at least 18 years old to participate in our program(s).  We do not intend for our services to be used by individuals younger than 18.
• Our workstation analysis and wellness services, including but not limited to our library of educational videos, are intended to provide general education on topics related to ergonomic workstation design, injury prevention, maintenance of proper posture, and use of body mechanics for functional activities and work. These services are not intended as individualized medical or physical therapy advice or to address any specific medical or physical problems, pain, or dysfunction that you might be having.  If you have pain, discomfort, or disabilities that are limiting your performance or tolerance to activities, you should see a physician or physical therapist in your area for an examination or we can see you in our office to provide individualized physical therapy advice.  If it becomes evident that you might benefit from physical therapy or other medical consultation, we may recommend a course of treatment with us or refer you to a provider in your area.  
• We may recommend certain exercises that are intended to prevent and control discomfort that sometimes occurs while working in sustained postures or performing repetitive movements.  These exercises are not intended as physical therapy interventions to address any particular impairment, dysfunction, pain, or medical problem. You understand that there may be some risk in performing such exercises, especially if you have a pre-existing medical or physical condition.  If you have any discomfort before, during, or after implementing our recommendations for fatigue/discomfort prevention/management exercises, you should stop immediately and consult your medical provider.  By performing any exercises suggested, you knowingly and freely assume any and all risks of such exercises, both known and unknown, and assume full responsibility for your participation.  
• Results from the implementation of our recommendations vary from one person to another.  We do not claim that our workstation evaluation and wellness program will prevent all pain, discomfort, or fatigue or result in any other particular outcome.      
• If you participate in an individual online instructional or educational session, you understand that it is not considered a “telehealth” session because we are not providing medical or physical therapy interventions or advice, therefore, state and federal healthcare privacy laws (such as HIPAA) do not apply.  As such, and if the session is a group session, you should not disclose information about yourself that you do not want other participants to know.  
• You acknowledge and accept the potential technology risks of participating in an online program, including but not limited to the risk of (1) interruption of the audio/video link, (2) disconnection of the audio/video link, (3) video that may not be clear, and (4) potential of unauthorized access to the live or recorded session.  We are not responsible for these or other technological problems.  
• Payment and Cancellations.  If there is a fee for the program you participate in or any educational videos you purchase, you agree to pay for the program in advance of your scheduled session. For individual online consultations, you are expected to log-in per our instructions at your scheduled time.  If you log-in late, it will take time away from your scheduled appointment because we still have to end your appointment on time.  We do not provide refunds for any lost time during a scheduled visit because you failed to log in at the scheduled time. If you need to reschedule an individualized session, you must give at least 24 hours' notice in advance.  If you cancel with less notice, you will forfeit the payment made for the scheduled session.  If you pay for a live group session but fail to participate, you forfeit the fee for the session.  We will not provide refunds for any scheduled sessions that you fail to attend or for educational videos once you have been granted access.  
• You agree, on behalf of yourself and your heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and next of kin, to assume these and all injury risks and waive all liability against Deirdre Finn, PT and Finn Physical Therapy, its officers, members, employees, subcontractors, agents, assigns and other participants and sponsoring agencies (“Releasees”) for any and all claims, lawsuits, damages, liability, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, for any personal injury or personal property damage claims, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property, whether arising from the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.  
• I have read, understand, and agree to these Workstation Evaluation & Wellness Program Terms of Service.
