Telehealth

You'd be surprised at what we can accomplish with telerehab. We can discover a lot about your condition/problems from discussing your symptoms and watching you move on video. There are many tests that we can also get you to do on your own that will assist us in developing a treatment plan for you. A hands on approach isn't always necessary!

What equipment will I need for my telehealth appointment?

You can attend your appointment on any device that has a microphone, webcam, and access to the internet. Your therapist will assist with any other recommended, low cost equipment that may be of benefit to you. *Some equipment may be provided to you at no cost and delivered via mail.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothes that allow for movement that can be seen over video. Having snug fitting clothes allows for your provider to assess how parts of your body move to determine the best intervention.

How will I get copies of my exercises?

We use an online exercise platform which allows your therapist to send a digital copy of your Home Exercise Program to your email or cell phone. This program lets you view or print written instructions and pictures or view each exercise as a demo video. It enables you also to rate pain and difficulty and send feedback through the messaging feature directly to your therapist! The platform has a free, convenient exercise app available for Android or Apple users.

Where should I attend the appointment?

Make yourself comfortable. Choose a location in which you can be most comfortable both physically and emotionally. You may be asked by your provider to move during your visit so make sure you have room to move! You want to be able to share information freely with your provider so other people in the room may not provide enough privacy. The more comfortable you are in your surroundings the better the outcome of the visit will be.
