VIRTUAL PHYSIOTHERAPY

All these terms are inter-changeable for the same thing – the delivery of physiotherapy services remotely using electronic communication technologies that is delivered face to face by video on your computer, laptop, tablet or smart phone. It is an accessible way to have a physiotherapy appointment. Tele-rehab shadows an in-person appointment, the only difference being that there is no hands-on approach. Instead, the physiotherapist at Impact Physiotherapy can teach you how to perform self-treatment techniques that mimic in-clinic hands-on techniques.

Impact Physiotherapy’s Virtual Physiotherapy is REAL Physiotherapy. Virtual Physiotherapy provides you with safe, quality remote patient care – including online live video tele-rehabilitation sessions with an experienced, licensed physiotherapist with over 15 years of experience in the profession from the comfort of your home, office, or even at your gym.

Virtual Physiotherapy is a way to start and continue your recovery from injury, despite what life throws at you. Whether you can’t leave the house, don’t have time to make it to an appointment, you live too far away, or are out of town on holidays, you will still be guided by a physiotherapist to ensure your overcome your issue and live your life as it’s meant to!

Virtual Physiotherapy can help you get control over your injury and pain and get you safely moving and doing the things you love and enjoy again! At Impact Physiotherapy, we can see you virtually with physiotherapy by video. It is just like FaceTime, except it’s through a secure platform that meets all privacy regulations. Although we do not meet in person, we can still see and hear each other.

Whether you live too far away from treatment (out of town, in a remote area), don’t like driving across town through rush hour to & from an appointment, prefer not to pay for parking at appointments, have a busy schedule, or just feel more comfortable and safe receiving Physiotherapy treatment from your home, Virtual Physiotherapy could be a perfect solution for you!

If you live or work in a remote community, Virtual Physiotherapy provides access to the care you need when you need it. Virtual Physiotherapy is done in the comfort of your home or office. All you need is a computer/laptop/tablet/smart phone. It can’t get any easier to receive physiotherapy care. Patients with elbow/shoulder/neck/back pain, post-shoulder/knee surgery, post knee/hip replacement, car accidents and any lower body injuries are all great candidates for this treatment.

Whether you are currently in recovery, find yourself with new injuries due to the stresses of working from home, or are unable to access in-person appointments, our Virtual Physiotherapy services are here to help. Using virtual communication technologies, including your computer/laptop, tablet or smart phone, you will have direct remote access to your virtual Physiotherapist via live video conferencing, direct phone calls and more.
