Telehealth Physiotherapy Australia

Telehealth is an online physio consultation provided via video conference. Your physiotherapist will be able to assess your condition and advise you on appropriate steps to continuing fixing your problem. This can include: strengthening exercises, stretches or mobility work, self-release techniques, and education and advice. If you live with someone, we can also teach your partner or parent simple techniques to help treat you while at home.

How Does It Work?

Book an online physio appointment or call our rooms for a ‘Telehealth Physio Consultation’. The appointment will run for 20-30 minutes.

Telehealth Physiotherapy Evidence

Is telehealth effective? Yes! Recent research in this area has shown that Telehealth consultations are an effective way to manage many musculoskeletal problems. The pros of this style of treatment include empowering you to solve your injury through guided and specific exercise that you can complete at home (where you spend most of your time).

How Can You Help Me Without Hands-On Treatment?

We can show you how to test your movements using simple hands on techniques for assessing muscle tone and guarding. We can problem solve your issue and give some guidance as to how to best correct it. This will include home based exercises, self release strategies, and education. If hands-on treatment is vital to your recovery, we can teach someone else in your household how to perform the treatment for you.

How Private Is The Session? Is My Video Recorded?

All data is encrypted, your telehealth physiotherapy sessions are anonymous, and none of your information is stored. Doxy.me (the website we are using) also adheres to HIPAA, PIPEDA, and GDPR data privacy requirements.

Do I Have To Download A Program?

No. Doxy.me is web-based, so no extra programs or apps are required – simply enable your browser permission to use your camera before you start your session.

I’m Not Tech Savvy. What If I Have Trouble Connecting To The Telehealth Physiotherapy Session?

We want to reduce the barriers for you to receive good help. If you are worried you’ll have trouble accessing the session, please give the clinic a call and we’ll be happy to organise a time to walk you through the process.
