23.01.2022 A Telehealth Physio Consultation is a service allowing patients to book a phone or video consultation with a physiotherapist and can help if you are: Self-isolating at home due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Feeling unwell In a remote location... Cannot attend one of our clinics Want to avoid waiting rooms Many studies have been conducted and have shown that Telehealth Physiotherapy can be just as effective as seeing a physiotherapist face-to-face. Whilst it does not replace traditional hands-on treatment, the key conditions where education, exercise and self-management provide the greatest benefits are people with shoulder and lower back pain, hip and knee arthritis and patients post-surgery such as post hip and knee replacement and patients requiring a general exercise program for flexibility, strength and balance. In many circumstances, our physiotherapists can assess, diagnose and treat your injury entirely online. Tailored exercises can be prescribed with our exercise software to perform in the comfort of your home. This service is available for all people thoughout Australia, the technology is easy to use and we can assist you with this too. Services can be accessed via your phone, tablet or computer.
