1. Treatment Description
This agreement is between the client (hereinafter referred to as “the Patient”) and Awari Health (hereinafter referred to as “the Practice”), located in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
The Patient will receive treatment for pain reduction according to the Awari Health method. The Awari Health method is a pain therapy method that focuses on relieving tension in muscles and fascia to reduce chronic pain. It involves targeted stretching/foam rolling, osteopressure, and specific exercises designed to restore natural movement and balance in the body. This approach is non-invasive and aims to address the root causes of pain rather than just the symptoms. This is an alternative therapy approach and not a medical treatment.
2. Risks and Disclosures
The Patient acknowledges that they have been informed of and understand the possible risks associated with the treatment, including but not limited to:
Initial aggravation of symptoms
Formation of pressure sores
Fatigue and Tiredness
The Patient understands that all potential risks may not be known or listed here.
The Patient is aware that this treatment is not a medical service and does not replace the need for medical care. The Awari Health method is not covered by health insurance and is provided as a self-pay service.
3. Patient Responsibilities
The Patient agrees to:
Inform the therapist of all known physical and medical conditions, medications, and injuries prior to each session.
Keep the therapist updated on any changes in their physical health, medical conditions, or medications.
Inform the therapist immediately if they experience any discomfort during the therapy session.
Carry out the exercises practiced during the treatment appointments independently, regularly, and consistently in daily life, as this is necessary for the treatment’s success and maintenance of health.
Understand that the Therapist may end the session for any inappropriate behavior.
4. Payment Terms
Treatment fees are as specified on the Awari Health website.
A typical session lasts between one hour and one and a half hours.

6. Liability Waiver
In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Awari health method treatments at Awari Health, the Patient agrees to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages, known or unknown, which might occur as a result of participating in the program. The Patient acknowledges being informed of possible consequences that may arise from the treatment, such as initial aggravation and the formation of pressure sores, and other potential discomforts even though no other risks are known at this time.
The Patient understands that this treatment is not a medical service and does not replace the need for medical care. The Patient accepts responsibility to inform the therapist of any discomfort during therapy and request pressure adjustments as needed. The Patient has notified the therapist of all known physical and medical conditions, medications, and injuries and accepts responsibility to keep the therapist updated on any changes to their physical health and medications, with no liability on the therapist’s part should the Patient fail to do so.
For successful treatment and maintained health, the Patient acknowledges the necessity to perform the prescribed exercises independently, regularly, and permanently in daily life. Typically, 3 treatment appointments are recommended per pain area.
Client hereby assumes full responsibility for receipt of the therapy, and releases and discharges Awari Health and its therapist from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, actions, or causes of action arising from the therapy received here-under, including, without limitation, any damages arising from acts of active or passive negligence on the part of the Therapist, to the fullest extent allowed by law.
