This document (“Agreement”) governs your access to and participation in all educational, coaching, webinar, and informational services provided by Educise P.C. (“Company,” “Educise,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by Dr. Theresa A. Schmidt, PT, DPT, MS, OCS, LMT, CEAS, Chy,DD (“Program Leader”). By accessing the website, purchasing any product or service, registering for a course or webinar, or participating in any Program, you (“Participant,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by this Agreement. This applies equally to professionals (including healthcare, wellness, fitness, and other practitioners) and members of the general public.
1. Scope of Services & Informational Purpose
The services, materials, webinars, online courses, live events, coaching, and information provided through Educise PC (the “Program”) are for educational, informational, and personal or professional development purposes only. Program content focuses on general wellness, physical education, movement strategies, orthopedic rehabilitation, manual therapy technique education, fitness, stress management, posture, mobility, and related topics drawn from current evidence and clinical experience. It is not customized to treat, diagnose, cure, or prevent any physical or mental health condition for any individual.
2. No Professional-Patient or Clinical Relationship (Interstate Practice Notice)
The Program Leader is a licensed Physical Therapist and Massage Therapist in the State of New Hampshire. However, all Programs operate strictly as peer-to-peer or instructor-led educational coaching and informational services offered across state lines (and internationally). They do not constitute the practice of physical therapy, medicine, massage therapy, or any other licensed healthcare profession in any jurisdiction. Your participation does not create a therapist-patient, doctor-patient, clinician-client, or any other professional-clinical relationship. If you require medical attention, diagnosis, rehabilitation, or treatment, you must seek care from a licensed provider in your local geographic area.
3. No Professional Advice or Special Relationship
The Program does not provide legal, medical, financial, career, or any other professional advice. Interactions, including group discussions, Q&A, shared experiences among professionals or public participants, or one-on-one coaching comments, do not establish any professional-client relationship, partnership, or privileged communication. Participants (whether professionals or members of the public) remain solely responsible for their own decisions, professional practice, and well-being.
4. Assumption of Risk & Voluntary Participation
Programs may include physical components such as breathwork, posture and ergonomic practices, mindful or somatic movement, exercise demonstrations, or technique demonstrations and/or practice. You acknowledge that all physical and mental activities carry inherent risk of injury, discomfort, or distress. By joining any Program, you certify that you are physically and mentally capable of participating (or will modify/stop as needed), assume full responsibility for your well-being, and voluntarily assume all risks. You agree to release and hold harmless Educise P.C., Dr. Theresa A. Schmidt, and their agents from any and all liability arising from your participation.
