During Level 3 Lockdown, we can only provide face to face physio for urgent cases where the patient is unable to be helped by their GP.
This is on a case by case basis and only for the most acute patients.
However, we are still able to provide physiotherapy services to new and existing patients via a Telehealth service which uses an online video platform on a computer or phone.
What is Telehealth?
Just like a normal session you would have in the clinic, we are able to discuss your pain or problem and any relevant medical history. We can then identify your goals of treatment and identify a treatment plan identifying the steps that we need to get there. If there are specific tests you need to take, such as physical tests or answering a questionnaire, we can find ways of doing these with you also. We can still guide you with appropriate talking therapies, education, advice, exercises and self-management techniques.
We can also recommend or refer you for an x-ray, ultrasound scan or to see a GP or specialist if necessary.
For those needing a physiotherapist or an exercise program, we can provide you with an online video-based rehab exercise program, with check list that you can do in between sessions and arrange a follow up to monitor your progress and progress or change the exercises and self-management as appropriate.
How does it work?
Our physiotherapists will arrange a time that suits you to conduct the telehealth session. We will then email you a link which you can click to open the 'Zoom' telehealth viewer and you will be able to see and hear your physiotherapist.
You do not need a membership to Zoom, and the connection is secure so their are no cyber security risks
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us via phone, email or our contact page if you have any questions, and let’s work together to keep making progress at this difficult time, to get you back to the things you want to do as soon as possible.
