Telehealth services can be accessed via your smartphone 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. At Elliott Physical Therapy, our telehealth services offer live consultation where you can meet and chat with your physical therapist about your treatment plan. You can follow your exercises and stretches that you are expected to complete each day through doxy.me, FaceTime and Skype. You can also use this app to access ongoing helpful tools and tips, such as our blogs – you can even use it to send these tips to a friend or family member who may also need help!
Because of this, telehealth 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.
