Bring the context
The activity you enjoy can help frame the questions you ask. The clinical assessment should consider the individual rather than assuming every runner, rider or player needs the same care.
Ask about the reasoning
A useful recommendation explains why an option is being considered and what its limits are. Ask how it relates to existing advice, what alternatives are available and whether another provider should be involved.
Know the next decision
Understand the purpose and cost of the first appointment. Any subsequent care should be discussed with you, including what is being reviewed and when the plan could change.
