A good first message answers three simple questions: what would you like to discuss, where are you located and when would you prefer an appointment?
Keep the first enquiry useful
Keep the health description general on a public website form. You can say that a movement has changed or that you want help returning to an activity, then share personal details securely with the provider if they respond.
Let the provider confirm the details
If you have a format preference, such as an in-clinic appointment, home visit or telehealth, include it so the provider can confirm whether it is available.
