Telehealth Physical Therapy
Telehealth
Telehealth is the practice of calling your doctor via video call and having them help you with your rehabilitation. It’s the perfect combination of technology and medicine, and it has a select number of benefits.
Through telehealth, you can get professional medical help remotely, which is especially useful during troubling times, such as the current global pandemic. Telehealth promises to bring professional medical advice without any human contact, making it an ideal social distancing option.
While not every field of medicine can be performed through telehealth, particular areas such as physiotherapy can.
What Is Telehealth Physiotherapy?
Telehealth physiotherapy is a physical therapy session via a video call. Video conference calls allow both the patient and doctor to communicate and share critical insights and information.
If you choose us, we will be at the clinic during our telehealth video conference sessions, and you will be right at home. This allows us to help you in any way possible without actually being in the same location, making sure everything is safe and streamlined.
It’s ideal for athletes, but it works equally for people looking to recover from their injuries in a timely, effective, and comfortable manner. It is also excellent for people who live in remote locations.
How Does Telehealth Physical Therapy Work?
While there is nothing quite like an in-person consultation and treatment, telehealth provides a surprisingly efficient way to go about physical therapy. The process is as simple and as streamlined as possible which, in turn, actually maximizes your time with the physio.
It all starts with a discussion. In this discussion, medical professionals talk to the client about their problem or injury, allowing the doctors to have a better perspective of what’s going on. Medical professionals can prescribe and instruct patients with movements and exercises to heal the injury correctly and effectively.
It’s an ideal option for frequent travelers or others who can’t afford to go to a professional clinic due to their busy schedules. These sessions are as quick as regular doctor visits and shouldn’t take more than 45-60 minutes, and they don’t require any extensive setup or equipment. They are far more comfortable since you don’t even have to leave the comfort and convenience of your own home.
How Do I Start Telehealth Therapy?
Suppose you’re looking to start a telehealth physical therapy session for treating any injuries that could benefit from physiotherapy. In that case, you can book an appointment online or contact us via landline or email. The choice is yours.
