We offer Telehealth appointments
Providing effective and safe practice standards is our main objective. During times when it is unsafe for you or our team to meet face-to-face, we offer Telehealth appointments to ensure your recovery progresses safely.
How it works
From the comfort of your own home we arrange a convenient time to conduct your physiotherapy appointment via video link.
We will send you a link with clear instructions of how to join the video call.
You will require a laptop or tablet with a webcam, or a smartphone with camera to join your Telehealth appointment.
What to expect
During your assessment we will listen to your concerns and ask a series of questions so that we can understand you pain and how it behaves, and discuss any other concerns or specific needs.
We will demonstrate a range of movements we would like you to perform. Your response to these movements will help us formulate a diagnosis and personalised treatment plan.
We will conduct a comprehensive overview of your treatment plan. This will include education specific to your injury in addition to the exercises you will be focusing on for your recovery.
