Physiotherapy
When a patient is referred to physiotherapy, the Ortho One physiotherapist will first assess the patient and report to the in-house senior physiotherapist. The senior physiotherapist will recheck and confirm the condition and start the treatment. At the end of the session, the physiotherapist will send the patient to the referred physician for follow-up.
If the patient is not improving with the selected treatment the physiotherapist-in-charge of the patient will change the modality or recheck the patient to the physician.
