Online Physio Consult

Very similar to our regular consultation in the clinic, our physiotherapist will ask you a series of questions about your symptoms, how it impacts your movements or other activities, your general health and so forth to help us understand your condition. To help you get the most from the session, you will be asked to complete an Assessment Form prior to video consultation.

Next, your physiotherapist will guide you through a range of movement assessments and testing via online video app. The online video app we prefer to use is PhysiApp. If you have difficulty downloading PhysiApp, we tend to use Zoom as it does not require downloading.

Based on the assessment, your physiotherapist will formulate a treatment plan specific to your needs and convey it to your computer via written report, online video and to your smart phone via our PhysiApp.

And rest assured, if we feel that you need to see a “Real physiotherapist” or other health professional ‘face-to-face’, we will certainly let you know.

While this may seem very different to the treatment you are used to, it is well recognized that hands-on therapy is only one small component of treatment. The right knowledge, self-management strategies and progressive exercise programs are mostly important for a successful recovery. There are now more than 70 research articles supporting online rehabilitation demonstrates even better outcome for a specific group of population.
