Who will benefit from a virtual physiotherapy appointment?

 

If you have a new or old injury or need advice on how to set up your home office a virtual appointment can be a good fit for you.  Your physiotherapist will provide you with a clear diagnosis and a plan on how to treat your injury from the comfort of your home.

 

What is a virtual physiotherapy appointment like?

 

You may book your tele-rehabilitation appointment online.  One hour before your appointment you will receive an email with a link to the virtual appointment.  At the time of your session connect by using a laptop, desktop, or mobile device with a camera.  Simply click on the link and you will be connected with your physiotherapist and your appointment will begin.

​

  • take a detailed injury history.

  • assess your movement and range of motion.

  • evaluate strength.

  • provide a diagnosis, set goals, and outline a clear rehabilitation plan.

  • teach self muscle release techniques.

Why should I book an online physiotherapy appointment?

 

An online physiotherapy appointment will connect you with a physiotherapist who can provide you with a clear diagnosis of your issue.  We are unsure how long this period of self isolation will last, but we do know that having early treatment will get your better faster.  Waiting for an in-clinic appointment can lead to worsening of your symptoms, increased pain, and compensatory movement patterns.  A consultation with a physiotherapist will provide you a personalized program with postural correction, mobility exercises, and home workout routine which is very effective at treating either new or old injuries.
