Telehealth is a great way to provide healthcare to communities that desperately need it but dont have proper access to health care. Furthermore loads of patients today need to travel for many reasons which implies an interruption of their rehabilitation. Today no matter where you are in the world, you can continue your much needed rehabilitation through teleconsultations.

Furthermore, online consultations reduce the need for travel.
Online physiotherapy can be done in the comfort of your own home or office. It gives you the flexibility to still do your physio session, whether you have a sick child at home or caught up with work at the office.

Telehealth is also a more cost effective treatment option.
Online consultations are cheaper than normal physiotherapy sessions.
Physiotherapy has evolved alot over the years. The focus has shifted from a physio-dependent practice to a patient-empowering way of practice.
Empowering the patient is truelly what its all about. This is done by meanas of educating the patient on self-treatment techniques and this way making them less dependent on the physiotherapist. Patients can ad should play a large role in treating their own pain, as the human body is amazing as it can heal itself when doing the right exercises and techniques.

It is safe.Your physio will guide you during the process and choose techniques that will be safe and effective for your individual diagnoses and needs.

Then the final million dollar question: How can physio treat without touching the patient?
They key lies in starting with a proper evaluation.
The success in a physiotherapy lies in the ability of the practitioner to do a thorough evaluation of the patient. Treatment the follows by focussing on sorting out the cause of the problem, rather than just treating the symptoms.

Objective and baseline tests can easily be done online, and they help to confirm the diagnosis. Physios are experts at analysing movements that contribute to the main problem.
Once the cause of the problem is determined, we can start to treat it with self-treatment techniques, exercises, education and advice.

Self treatment Techniques include:
The McKenzie Method
Mulligan self-mobilization
Warm water bottles or ice treatments
Advise on pain relief
