What is telehealth physical therapy?
Telehealth physical therapy is the use of technology and telecommunication software to provide one-on-one physical therapy services remotely, allowing patients to receive high-quality care in the comfort and convenience of their homes. Think of it like performing an online video chat with your physical therapist, who will answer questions and guide you through your home exercise program.
Why telehealth physical therapy?
Telehealth physical therapy is an effective alternative to traditional physical therapy services provided in a clinical setting. While the comfort and convenience factors have already been mentioned, the benefits of telehealth physical therapy are numerous. Telehealth physical therapy allows greater accessibility to personalized care, especially if your physical therapist does not practice in your neighborhood. Time savings and the elimination of transportation are benefits often cited by patients who utilize telehealth physical therapy as well. Finally, the success rates of telehealth physical therapy are well-documented, as patients who take part in telehealth physical therapy are more likely to stick to their home exercise programs.
