What Physical Therapy services can I expect via Telehealth?
Your Physical Therapist will be able to offer similar care to what you receive in the clinic and will be able to instruct in alternative treatment methods that can be done without in-person physical contact.
Telehealth services can be beneficial for the following reasons:
- Patients can receive convenient evaluation for acute or persistent symptoms and receive immediate patient education and instruction on how to reduce symptoms. When appropriate, your physical therapist will help determine when to escalate treatment to physician care.
- Patients may avoid physical exposure to larger healthcare facilities and can decrease health risk associated with community outings due to COVID-19.
- Patients may sign up for follow-up treatment sessions with a HealthWell Physical Therapist and receive one-on-one continuous weekly care in order to monitor progress and improve health.
- Physical Therapists can review exercise programs, exercise modifications, and facilitate exercise progression.
- Physical Therapists can offer instruction and patient education for improved “at home” desk ergonomics.
- Physical Therapists can teach patients how to be perform self soft tissue treatment.
HealthWell can assist you before or after you’ve seen a medical doctor. If you have a doctor’s prescription, please bring that with you on your first appointment. If you don’t have a physician and need a referral to someone who can best address your issue, feel free to make an appointment with us and we can refer you to a physician.
