The information provided on www.dystoniavirtualclinic.com is intended exclusively for general educational and informational purposes.
Although every effort is made to ensure that the information published on this website is accurate and up to date, it should not be interpreted as medical advice, diagnosis or treatment recommendations for any particular individual.
Using this website does not, by itself, establish a therapeutic relationship between a healthcare professional and a patient.
A professional therapeutic relationship is established only after booking one of our services and its acceptance by Dystonia Virtual Clinic.
Each person living with dystonia has unique symptoms, medical history, functional limitations and rehabilitation needs.
For this reason, information provided through this website, educational materials, seminars, newsletters, videos or other publications should not be considered a substitute for an individualised assessment by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Recommendations that may be appropriate for one person may not be suitable for another.
Online Physiotherapy
Dystonia Virtual Clinic provides online physiotherapy services and educational services.
Not every person or condition is suitable for remote physiotherapy. The responsible healthcare professional will determine, based on their professional clinical judgement, whether an online consultation is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Where necessary, you may be advised to seek:
an in-person assessment;
an assessment by your doctor or neurologist;
emergency medical care; or
treatment from another appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Online physiotherapy services are provided in accordance with the Portuguese legal framework applicable to telehealth and telerehabilitation.
Clinical services are delivered by appropriately qualified healthcare professionals and are subject to applicable professional, ethical and data protection obligations.
No Guarantee of Results
Dystonia is a complex neurological movement disorder.
Responses to rehabilitation may vary considerably from person to person.
Although our services aim to provide rehabilitation based on available evidence, education and individualised support, we cannot guarantee:
improvement in symptoms;
reduction of dystonic movements;
recovery;
specific functional outcomes;
prevention of disease progression; or
specific therapeutic results.
Patient testimonials, personal experiences or case examples published on this website represent individual experiences and should not be interpreted as a guarantee that other people will achieve similar results.
Educational Content
Educational materials available through this website, including articles, videos, seminars, downloadable resources and other publications, are intended to support patient education.
These materials should not replace professional medical assessment, diagnosis or individualised treatment recommendations.
Always consult your doctor, neurologist, physiotherapist or another appropriately qualified healthcare professional regarding any questions about your health or treatment.
Medical Emergencies
Dystonia Virtual Clinic does not provide emergency medical services.
If you experience:
severe or sudden neurological symptoms;
chest pain;
difficulty breathing;
loss of consciousness;
a serious injury; or
any other medical emergency;
you should immediately contact your local emergency services or attend the nearest emergency department.
Do not use this website, email communications or scheduled online consultations to request urgent medical care.
Patient Responsibilities
Participation in physiotherapy requires the active involvement of the patient.
You are responsible for:
providing accurate information about your health;
informing your healthcare professional of any relevant medical condition or changes in your health;
following professional instructions provided during consultations;
performing exercises within your own physical capabilities; and
stopping any activity that causes significant pain, dizziness, loss of balance or other concerning symptoms.
If you have any doubts about the safety of an activity, stop the activity and seek professional advice.
