TELE- THERAPY: WE’RE HERE FOR YOU, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE!
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic that has been causing numerous health care facilities to shut down, we as medical professionals are diligently trying to serve our patients in the best ways possible without risking the spread of this disease. Because of this, teletherapy services are the best possible option for us at this time. By providing care for our patients virtually, as opposed to in person, we are able to keep both our patients and PT providers safe. What is Teletherapy, and why is it important during the COVID19 pandemic? At The FIT Institute it is still possible to participate in physical therapy while social distancing in efforts to flatten the curve! Essentially, teletherapy is a way for us to make sure that our patients are still receiving the highest possible quality of care they need from a remote location. Teletherapy is the delivery of physical therapy through a two-way live video connection and communication. This allows you to see the physical therapist and for your physical therapist to see you.
During a Teletherapy visit, your therapist will be able to listen to your history, observe how you move, and educate you on how to approach your current issue. With the two- way video communication, your therapist is able to direct you through a variety of specific interventions including strengthening activities, balance exercises, and stretching. This system also allows your therapist to provide in depth education regarding your pain, posture, ergonomics, and other ideas on how to improve your function without having you come into the clinic. What are the benefits of Teletherapy? There are numerous conditions that can be treated and improved via Teletherapy services, including, but not limited to:
• Sports-related injuries • Running-related Injuries • Low back pain • Neck and shoulder pain
• Arthritis pain • Headaches/migraines • Pre and post-surgical rehab • And much more
• Hip and knee pain • Foot and ankle pain
