What is Telehealth?
Telehealth services can be accessed via your smartphone, tablet, or computer, and you will be able to perform your PT treatments from the comfort of your own home during this quarantine. You will also be able to track your progress and see how you are improving throughout your treatments – without coming directly to our clinic. Many conditions that can be treated and improved via Telehealth services, such as: • Arthritis pain • Back pain • Headaches/migraines • 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 • Telehealth can facilitate consultation between providers or in clinical education If you are unable to come to the clinic, we want you to be able to continue your personalized PT plans, so you do not lose all the progress you’ve made. We are all in this together – most importantly, stay calm, and stay healthy. We are here to help you with your needs.
