Postural Alignment Therapy Terms and Conditions

Postural Alignment Therapy is provided within a professional and caring framework designed to support your safety and wellbeing, as well as clear boundaries within the therapeutic relationship. The terms below set out the scope of practice and the responsibilities that allow us to work together safely and effectively

1. Postural alignment therapy recommendations are intended neither to diagnose nor to treat any diagnosed medical condition or conditions. Postural alignment therapy advice is not a substitute for professional medical advice and or treatment. The aim of postural alignment therapy is to support optimal health. You should always consult your GP regarding any serious health concerns or suspected medical conditions.
 
2. The advice and guidance given will depend on the information provided during the initial consultation and feedback from you throughout your programme. No responsibility can be accepted in cases where diagnosed medical conditions have been omitted or medication details have not been fully disclosed, either initially or if changed by your doctor whilst following your programme.
 
3. It is your responsibility to keep your doctor up to date about the postural alignment programme you have been provided with. This is especially important if you are taking prescribed medication from your doctor.
 
4. Whilst the degree of benefit obtainable from postural alignment therapy may vary between individuals, outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Success of the programme will depend on your compliance and commitment. No responsibility can be accepted if a third party interferes with any recommendations.
 
5. If you are ever unclear about any aspect of the consultation or recommendations given, please never hesitate to ask for further clarification. Due to postural alignment therapy being an individualised programme it is possible for clients to occasionally have a temporary increase in symptom or feel a symptom elsewhere in the body as a result of the body adjusting, re balancing and reorganising as it moves back to correct alignment. It is the client’s responsibility to inform Nicole within 48 hours so she can adjust the programme relative to the feedback from their body.
 
6. Programme Structure and Commitment: Three month and six month programmes provide a structured container for the recommended number of sessions. While programmes are tailored and scheduling may vary depending on individual circumstances, clients are expected to engage consistently in order to achieve optimal results.

Programme fees relate to the agreed programme structure and are not calculated on a single session basis. Once enrolled, programme fees are non refundable. Where exceptional circumstances arise, any goodwill adjustment is made at Nicole’s discretion.

7. Session Validity and Inactivity: All purchased sessions remain valid for 12 months from the date of the last attended session. If no session is attended within a continuous 12 month period, any unused sessions will expire.

In exceptional circumstances, an extension may be agreed at Nicole’s discretion. Any such agreement must be confirmed in writing before the original validity period ends.

8. Cancellation and Rescheduling: Appointments require a minimum of 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice may be forfeited and deducted from the programme. This policy ensures fairness and respect for scheduled clinical time.
