Medical Referral and Preliminary Assessment
Patients wishing to attend Remedial Exercise Therapy must be referred by a Medical
Practitioner. The Gymnasium Manager then has a clinical diagnosis to ensure that he
can apply an appropriate exercise therapy program and avoid treatment which might
cause complications.
A Preliminary Assessment is undertaken after the relevant medical clearance has been
given by the patient’s Medical Practitioner.
The Preliminary Assessment includes an interview with the patient in which past
medical history and current physical condition is assessed. Each case is unique and
each new patient has to be assessed individually in order for the Remedial Therapist
to set up an exercise program best suited to facilitate the rehabilitation process.
