NEW CLIENT EXPECTATIONS & PROCESS
STEP ONE BOOK 4 APPOINTMENTS
South of the River home office = Beeliar
(Wed, Thurs, Fri; 11-6pm).
Book 2 appointments in the first week, and 2 appointments the following week, ideally. Otherwise once a week. One appointment is not enough. The 4 treatments compound into a bigger effect, we need that time to get on top of all of your triggers.
I believe in open and honest conversations. If the treatment is not working for you appointments can be cancelled. Please try not to reschedule multiple times as it stops other clients getting in and appointments are in demand.
Initial/First Appointment; I will send you an email of the new client form (for your medical history and consent), pls fill it in asap, this allows me time to process your information (most clients have a 5-20 yr history) and it is unkind to expect me to absorb all that information on the day. I like to be professional and kind to us both. Thank you.
Online Bookings Only. Any issues txt +61 448 767 517 as Leigh is treating clients.
STEP TWO YOUR APPOINTMENTS
Please bring your scan results if you have any. Scans are not necessary for effective treatment.
Dentists and GP's can now refer for MRI's of your TMJ's if necessary. It is cheaper if an Oral Facial Surgeon, refers you for an MRI. Both jaws need to be scanned for comparison. CT's are cheaper, but we try not to use CT if you are under 40 years of age, as it may damage your eyes, talk to your radiographer if you are concerned.
Dr’s and Receptionists - client info / EPC Plans to email – jawphysiotherapist@gmail.com (no fax), or mediref.
The specialists for jaw MRI/CT are Perth Radiological in Subiaco.
STEP THREE MANAGING YOUR PAIN
Continue pain medication if prescribed by your doctor as this may fasten your recovery. Please ice the area that is sore for 20minutes x 1 - 3 times a day. Do not apply heat as these are inflammatory conditions. Heat can bring more inflammation and/or swelling, resulting in more pain.
PAYMENT INFO
