How will I benefit from Telehealth? You may be wondering what exactly Telehealth is. Essentially, it is a way for your therapist to evaluate your movement, discuss your symptoms and progression, and work with you one on one, with functional movement exercises to relieve pain, and improve your ability to move pain-free, all from a remote location. Telehealth is a tool we are using at our clinic to get you the physical therapy you need, so you can feel better during these uncertain times. With Telehealth, everything you need from your physical therapist can be conducted from the comfort of your own home via your smartphone or computer. Have a question you need to ask your physical therapist? Looking for advice about your current condition? Want to track the progress you’ve been making? Telehealth makes all of this possible for you, while still ensuring that you are safely distancing at home! With our TelePT services, we are able to treat any pain or discomfort you may be experiencing. Some common conditions treated through
• Post-surgical rehab • Respiratory issues • Sports medicine/athletic training • Fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s Disease, and other chronic conditions • Injury rehab • And much more In addition to allowing for the practice of social distancing, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Telehealth also has other benefits for patients. As stated by the American Physical Therapy Association, just a few of these include: • Patients typically in clinical or hospital settings could be managed from their homes • Quicker screening, assessment, and referrals can improve care coordination within collaborative delivery models such as accountable care organizations or patient-centered medical homes
• [TelePT] can facilitate consultation between providers or in clinical education
