Prepared A Summary Statement For My Physiotherapy Intake Assessment
[ Tuesday November 1st 2016 at 8:46 am ]
This morning I woke up with an idea. It was to prepare a background history so the physiotherapist treating me will understand me, where I am coming from and form a starting point in treating me. I've just spent the past 2½ preparing this. Normally I prepare a 1 page medical history and a 1 page impact statement for any surgeon considering treating me. This document is a total of 6 pages. Much of it is in point form. I've divided it into several sections:
- History
- What I Am Feeling / Pain Sensations
- Typical Physiotherapy Under The Direction Of My Family Doctor
- In Home Equipment I Own
- Pain Medication
- My Use Of A Power Wheelchair Statement
- My Needs And Wants
I am off to the physiotherapy clinic to arrange my initial physiotherapy intake assessment. I also need to sign a release so the new physiotherapist treating me may have access to the in home physiotherapy session notes following my hip joint replacement surgeries.
