Digital physiotherapy is a modern way of providing physiotherapy as part of an overall telehealth practice. In simple terms, digital physiotherapy is an online physiotherapy consultation that is as effective and useful as an in-person consultation.
The most significant difference between digital physiotherapy and the sessions you may have previously experienced is that the patient and practitioner are in different locations. Delivery of digital physiotherapy can be performed in many ways, including via telephone, email, or through a website or app. The most common and possibly most patient-friendly option is through an online video call.
One-to-one digital physiotherapy sessions conducted remotely offer all the benefits of standard sessions without the patient or practitioner’s requirement to travel. Whether the session is for injury rehabilitation, monitoring long-term conditions, or other treatment types, this is a perfect solution for people who may find it difficult to leave home. It is also advantageous during global issues such as the recent COVID pandemic.
How Does an Online Physiotherapy Consultation Work?
Using state-of-the-art technology that allows the delivery of an online physiotherapy consultation to patients worldwide, it’s easy to communicate both visually and verbally.
Our expert physiotherapists provide private appointments in which you can discuss your current situation, your physical history, and your goals. Remember, this is a confidential consultation, and the physiotherapist will ask the same questions as if you were face-to-face.
The physiotherapist will understand the root of the problem and guide you through any actions you need to take, advising on exercises, steps to take for injury rehabilitation, how to enhance mobility, and prevention of further issues by recommending appropriate support devices.
The only difference between an online physiotherapy consultation and a session where you visit the physiotherapist is that you are not in the same room, which modern technology easily overcomes.
