Those preparations will involve her coach Francisco Roig, as they have decided to continue collaborating again next season.
Raducanu underwent blood pressure monitoring during her first-round match against Ann Li in Wuhan and retired when behind 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.
She needed once more medical attention at the Ningbo Open this week, where she fell in a three-set match to local wildcard Zhu Lin in the opening round.
Her movement was with clear difficulty in the deciding set versus Zhu owing to a lower back issue that has troubled her during parts of the season.
These outcomes followed a positive campaign, in which Raducanu rose into the world's top 30 for the first time since her previous ranking, ended with three successive defeats.
Raducanu had three match points then was defeated by American player Jessica Pegula in the third stage in Beijing last month.

She worked with Mark Petchey as coach from the Miami event through Wimbledon, with Francisco Roig stepping in for the US Open.
The initial agreement with the former trainer of Nadal was until the end of the season but the partnership will continue, with a training block pencilled in in the coming months.

The player was close to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at their initial event as a team in August's Cincinnati tournament.
Roig was also with Raducanu in the New York tournament, where she advanced to round three then falling to 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
