Online consultations for physiotherapy is an evidenced-based assessment and treatment method that is widely used in the private and public healthcare sectors and can be delivered through video or telephone consultation. .

Benefit to you

Online physiotherapy has been proven to deliver positive benefits to patients and comprises of:

Education and advice to manage and improve patient symptoms

Guided self-management and progression, including:

Exercise therapy and rehabilitation

Self-joint mobilisation techniques

Self-trigger point techniques and other soft-tissue treatment techniques

Functional/movement re-education strategies

Delivering Online physiotherapy as an interim alternative to face-to-face treatment will allow continuity of care for our patients, on-going screening for red/yellow flags and risk factors, prevention of symptom regression, provide ongoing support on how to manage symptoms flare ups, and promote positive outcomes

Frequency of sessions will (as always) be based on the clinical needs of individual patients and will be adapted based on the physiotherapists’ treatment planning. This will be tailored to the knowledge that patients will be receiving on line physiotherapy.

We do not anticipate a change to average session numbers overall.
