Telehealth Physio

Due to the impact of COVID-19, we have turned to telehealth to continue delivering physiotherapy advice and home-based exercises to our clients, so they do not fall behind their recovery plan.

Online physiotherapy consultations, a form of telehealth or virtual health care is increasingly used for convenient, safe, effective healthcare. You can connect with using a phone or computer from work or home. Online consultations have been shown to be cost effective and less disruptive to your day.

Physiotherapists are typically very hands on with their assessment process, hence you do need to be very detailed in telling us what has happened so we can nut out what is going on. From here, we will try to diagnose your injury as accurately as possible, and depending on the severity of your injury, we can provide you with a management plan. We can refer you to appropriate services such as radiology, ultrasound, A&E or a specialist.

If the injury is not too severe and can be managed within our physio scope of practice, we will provide you with all the necessary advice and education regarding your daily activity levels, and teach you how to manage your injury. Your recovery will consist of gentle movements and exercises guided by your pain levels. We can demonstrate home exercise programs specific to your injury, and have them emailed to you as needed. 

You can ask as many questions as you need or simply email us afterwards if you have missed something during our consultation. A follow up session is highly recommended as this will ensure that you are making progress with your recovery.

If equipment such as therabands or resistance bands, massage balls, foam rollers, bracing or anti-inflammatory rubs are needed, we can organize our suppliers to get this to you. We can also send you a link to shop online.
