Medical Disclaimer

Last updated: 01/10/25

The information and services provided by Functional Malta Health & Wellness Center are intended to promote health, recovery, and well-being. Our clinic includes both qualified healthcare practitioners and wellness professionals, each operating within their specific field of competence.

Please read this disclaimer carefully to understand the scope of our services and the responsibilities of both clients and practitioners.

1. General Information

All content on this website — including text, articles, images, and any information provided through consultations — is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or emergency care.

Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare provider if you have any concerns about your health, injury, or pain condition.

2. Scope of Services

Osteopathic and Health Treatments

Our osteopathic and clinical rehabilitation services are performed by qualified and CPCM registered health professionals.
These treatments are suitable for pain management, injury rehabilitation, mobility improvement, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders.
All assessments and treatments are based on individual evaluation and professional judgment.

Massage and Sport Recovery Treatments

Massage, drainage, and sport recovery sessions are provided by non-medical wellness practitioners.
These sessions are designed solely for relaxation, recovery, and general well-being — they are not intended or suitable for treating pain, injury, or medical conditions.

Clients seeking treatment for pain or injury should book an osteopathic consultation instead of a massage appointment.
Functional Malta cannot be held responsible if a client books a relaxation or recovery massage for pain relief against our stated recommendations.

3. Practitioner’s Right to Refuse or Redirect Treatment

Each practitioner reserves the right to:

Refuse, postpone, or stop a treatment if they determine that proceeding may pose a risk to the client or patient.
Redirect or recommend a more appropriate treatment or practitioner (for example, referring a massage client to an osteopath when pain is present).
Offer an alternative session, subject to the client’s or patient’s consent and understanding of the new treatment scope.

This policy ensures that all sessions remain safe, ethical, and within each practitioner’s professional competence.

4. Client Responsibility

Clients and patients are responsible for:

Providing accurate and complete health information during booking or consultation.
Booking the correct service based on their needs and following practitioner guidance.
Understanding that massage and recovery services are non-therapeutic and not designed for medical treatment.

Failure to disclose relevant information may result in refusal or modification of the treatment session.

5. Limitation of Liability

Functional Malta Health & Wellness Center, its practitioners, and affiliates are not liable for:

Misuse of website information or misunderstanding of service descriptions
Booking a relaxation or recovery service for medical purposes
Failure to follow practitioner recommendations or to seek appropriate medical care
Omission of relevant health information during consultation

All services are provided with professional diligence, but outcomes may vary depending on individual factors.

6. Updates to This Disclaimer

We may update this Medical Disclaimer periodically to reflect new professional standards, regulations, or service updates.
Changes will be published on this page with a revised “last updated” date.
