Telehealth Physiotherapy Grande Prairie
Telehealth Physiotherapy Grande Prairie
Telehealth is the remote delivery of physiotherapy services through the telephone or the internet. Since most of us already have access to the technology required to participate in Telehealth, we can take advantage of this accessibility as it allows patients in remote areas or those with mobility constraints to receive care without the hurdles of transportation, reducing the need to travel and thereby saving time and reducing associated costs. And it also minimizes exposure to COVID-19.
From the comfort of your own home, you can have access to your physiotherapist.
How does it work?
You will need a phone, tablet or a computer with a microphone, camera and connection to the internet. Once you book an appointment, you will be provided with an online link through email or text message. Clicking on the link will take you to a virtual clinic with video and audio feed from your physiotherapist. It is that simple.
Am I a suitable candidate for Telehealth?
Is it safe?
What can I expect during a session?
Your physiotherapist will ask you questions regarding your symptoms and functional limitations. You may also discuss any concerns that you have related to your Neuromusculoskeletal system. You will receive advice from your physiotherapist on how to mitigate your symptoms and improve your day-to-day function. You will also receive an exercise program with instructions on how to perform them. Needless to say, a hands-on physical exam is not possible in the virtual clinic. However, during this COVID-19 pandemic, Telehealth offers the best way forward by providing care while at the same time meeting physical distancing rules. Furthermore, telehealth fosters better patient engagement by enabling more frequent touchpoints and easier follow-up, ultimately promoting a more proactive approach to personal health management.
