2. Potential Risks: Side effects may include temporary muscle soreness, bruising, or skin redness.
3. Communication: The Client has a positive duty to inform the practitioner of any pain or discomfort experienced during the session.
4. Consent Revocation: The Client may withdraw consent for any specific technique at any time during the session.

By providing explicit verbal or written consent during a session, you grant Movement Matters — Performance Therapy the right to record, photograph, and film your likeness, movement patterns, and performance for marketing, educational, and promotional purposes.
• Platforms: Content may be published on any current or future social media platform, including but not limited to: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Threads, Snapchat, Pinterest, WhatsApp (Status/Channels), Telegram, Reddit, Discord, and Google Business Profiles.
• Rights: You waive any right to royalties or compensation arising from the use of such media. You retain the right to revoke this consent for future postings at any time by providing written notice; however, the Practice is not responsible for removing content already shared by third parties.
To ensure the efficient management of the practitioner’s schedule and to provide fair access to all clients, Movement Matters — Performance Therapy enforces a strict 24-hour cancellation policy.
1. Late Cancellation: Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice will be charged 100% of the scheduled session fee.
2. No-Shows: Failure to arrive for an appointment without any prior notice will result in a charge for the full amount of the session.
3. WCB/MVA Exceptions: For clients under authorized WCB or MVA claims, specific provincial regulations may govern the payment of missed appointments, but the Company reserves the right to discontinue treatment for repeated no-shows.
4. Practitioner Cancellation: If the practitioner must cancel a session with less than 24 hours' notice, the Client will be rescheduled at the earliest possible convenience without penalty.
We utilize advanced technology to ensure clinical accuracy:
• AI Scribe: We use AI-driven scribing tools (integrated with JaneApp) to capture and parse clinical narratives. By attending a session, you consent to the audio recording of the clinical encounter for the sole purpose of generating medical charts.
• Digital Tools: Data from Meloq Easy Angle (goniometry) and Onform is stored securely within our encrypted clinical workflow.
• Third-Party Integration: You acknowledge that your data may be processed through JaneApp, Physitrack, and MailChimp in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) is the world's leading educational organization dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing. Movement Matters — Performance Therapy integrates TPI's research-based protocols to help golfers of all levels optimize their "Body-Swing Connection™".
The Body-Swing Connection Philosophy
The Client acknowledges that the TPI physical screen is a specialized assessment designed to identify physical limitations that may be contributing to swing flaws, injuries, or performance plateaus. The screen consists of 16 specific movement tests (such as pelvic rotation, thoracic rotation, and overhead deep squat) that correlate directly with the "Big 12" most common swing characteristics.
1. Ownership: The TPI logo, the term "Body-Swing Connection™," and all TPI proprietary screening materials are the exclusive intellectual property of ACTPI LLC.
2. Usage Restrictions: The Client may not use the TPI marks or distribute Company-provided TPI screening reports for any commercial purpose.
3. No Direct Endorsement: The use of TPI methodologies does not imply a direct endorsement of the Client's specific golf game by Titleist or the PGA of America.
Disclaimer of Golf Performance Outcomes
While TPI methodologies are used by 18 of the last 20 Major Championship winners, the Company does not guarantee specific improvements in the Client’s golf handicap, clubhead speed, or score. Golf performance is a multi-factorial result of physical conditioning, swing coaching, mental strategy, and equipment fitting. The Company’s role is strictly limited to the physical conditioning and "Body-Swing Connection" component of the performance team.
By engaging in a TPI Screening or Golf-Specific Assessment:
1. Data Capture: You consent to the capture of biomechanical data using FlightScope Mevo Gen 2 and video analysis via Onform.
2. Usage: This data is used solely for the development of your individualized performance program.
3. Client Ownership: You retain rights to your personal performance metrics; however, the Practice retains ownership of the specific clinical interpretations, "Golf Performance Audit" reports, and proprietary protocols developed therefrom.
The Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use materials provided during your treatment (e.g., customized exercise programs via PhysiApp, Complete Anatomy visualizations, and digital dictations).

The Company shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, such as loss of professional athletic income or the cost of external medical treatments.

Strategic Medico-Legal Conclusion

The inclusion of a detailed digital license agreement recognizes the evolving nature of performance coaching, where value is delivered both on the treatment table and through remote instructional content. Furthermore, the robust liability and indemnity sections account for the physical intensity of Marco de Leon’s specialized techniques, from RAPID NeuroFascial Reset to heavy resistance training at the Renegade Training Company.
