ONLINE FOLLOW UP WITH TELEHEALTH PHYSIO
Telehealth Physio? Is that even a thing?
Physio is “hands on’, I mean manipulating and mobilizing joints right? So, how can it be done via technology?
Physio can have many components. “hands on” techniques, exercise prescription and instruction, information about your issue, management tips, activity modification and advice regarding work, exercise and positioning. Sure, the “hands on” part cannot be done via technology, but all the other parts can.
Learning about your injury or condition and what you should and should not do can make a big difference in your recovery.
Exercise prescription and instruction can be done using Whats App or Facetime video calls.
Discussing how you do your work or sport can lead to some suggestions and strategies for symptom management which you may not have thought of.
