Advanced Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Services. Advanced, through a third-party vendor, has established an online portal that allows you to address conditions that might benefit from the advice provided herein. In addition, Advanced offers the ability to consult with a physical therapist or other provider (“Provider”), on proper exercise form via a live video consultation (a “Live Consult”).
Proprietary Algorithms and Questionnaires are Not Medical Advice.
a. THE INFORMATION AND EXERCISES PRODUCED THROUGH THE QUESTIONNAIRE AND PROPRIETARY ALGORITHM SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED MEDICAL ADVICE OR AN ENDORSEMENT, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT ANY PARTICULAR TREATMENT, OR EXERCISE, IS SAFE, APPROPRIATE, OR EFFECTIVE FOR YOU.
b. The questionnaire and proprietary algorithm section of the Site is designed for educational purposes only, and is not intended to replace consultation with a physician or physical therapist. You should not use this section of the Site to diagnose or treat a health problem or disease. The Site may propose various exercises for you based off your responses to the questions.
You should consult with a physician prior to beginning any exercise or exercise program. There is a risk of injury involved with any exercise activity, and while Advanced has tried to provide access to safe and effective exercise regimes, Advanced cannot prevent injuries from occurring.
You should be healthy and familiar with the proper form, techniques, and preparation for the exercises you undertake and the equipment you use. Always use safe techniques and protective equipment when engaging in exercise. If you are unfamiliar with the proper and safe techniques and equipment for the exercises you intend to perform, please seek advice and assistance before performing them.
A Provider can assist with this instruction through the Live Consult Feature.
If you are in poor health, or believe you may have difficulty performing an exercise, ask for the opinion of your physician or health care provider and exercise only under qualified supervision. Discontinue exercising if you experience any light headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, or discomfort and consult your physician or other health care provider.

Wellness Program Compliance.

Advanced’s services may be part of a wellness program offered by your employer, health plan, or sponsoring organization, but your employer, health plan, or sponsoring organization is solely responsible for ensuring that their wellness program, and your participation in Advanced’s services, complies with any applicable wellness program law. Your employer, health plan, or sponsoring organization is also responsible for evaluating whether a component of their wellness program is a taxable or non-taxable benefit. If you have any questions about this Section, please contact your employer, health plan, or sponsoring organization directly.
