How Telehealth Benefits PT Patients
Telehealth is the distribution of health services through electronic information and technologies. In other words, it is a video conference about your condition. Our clinic is proud to offer telehealth physical therapy services to our patients. This service allows us to provide consultations, assessment, follow ups and coaching to our patients in remote settings. Telehealth services may be most useful for those who have physical conditions and would like to explore the potential benefits of physical therapy. A telehealth appointment can easily be scheduled allowing one of our licensed physical therapist to assess your condition and give you feedback on the best approach to recovery. Our telehealth services also allow us to provide value added care to patients receiving physical therapy in our clinic. On the occasion that you cannot attend for reasons of travel, sickness or work, a telehealth visit can be scheduled to allow our physical therapist to provide coaching and guidance in a setting that is convenient for you. For whatever reason you are unable to attend physical therapy it is imperative to continue your course of treatments. The listed areas benefit most from our teleheath service.
Follow-up visits
Using telehealth for routine follow-up and monitoring visits is not only more efficient for providers and patients, but it also increases the chances that people will complete their entire treatment plan, reducing missed appointments and improving patient outcomes.
Chronic condition management
Patients with chronic conditions may require a short period of intensive therapy, followed by long-term care to sustain wellness. The use of telehealth software makes it easier and less expensive for patients to maintain control over their health.
Post-hospitalization care
Physical therapy is often necessary following orthopedic surgeries and other hospitalizations. Video visits eliminate the need for travel during a time when patients may have limited mobility or require the use of medications that shouldn’t be used while driving.
Sports Medicine
Physical therapists in sports medicine use telehealth software to facilitate the diagnoses, treatment, and prevention of sports-related injuries both on and off the field.
