What is Telehealth?
Telehealth physical therapy is simply physical therapy services that are provided over a technology platform, instead of in a clinic. Utilizing video conferencing through a computer, tablet, or smartphone, a licensed physical therapist will work one-on-one with you to assess your condition and provide real-time feedback with virtual care. They can also provide modifications and recommendations on current programs and exercises, and help you continue your PT progress without disruption or regression.

A virtual care session will be very similar to an in-person appointment and will always be 1 on 1 care. Through a video call, a highly qualified physical therapist will ask you detailed questions about your condition and then lead you through a movement assessment to determine the best interventions. Next, your PT will guide you through exercises modifying as needed for optimal comfort and form. PTs are able to demonstrate the exercises themselves or play videos which show the exercises from multiple angles.

In many states, and for many insurances, no referral is required to get started. Please call 866-518-0283 (option 6), or any of our clinic locations, and we will be happy to discuss if this is an option for you.
Currently, our therapists have a variety of tools to create video conferencing. Your therapist will send a link via email or cell (your preference) and you simply click the link at your appointment time to videoconference your therapist and start the session.
Most insurance covers telehealth visits! We will verify your plan at the start of your physical therapy journey.
We have self-pay pricing available if you do not have insurance, or if your insurance does not cover telehealth services. Please contact the clinic nearest you for more information.

A first-time appointment will be one hour and follow-up visits will be 30 mins.
No! Besides your video call enabled device, your physical therapist will instruct you in interventions without equipment or equipment that can be found around your house. If your therapist believes you will benefit from additional equipment, they will discuss the pros and cons of purchasing this equipment with you.
Ideally, you should perform your visit in an open place where you are able to perform exercises. A spot where you are able to lay down, sit, or stand is also helpful. A car is not an ideal space.
In addition, your PT may be asking you questions about your health and current impairment so a private space may be best to protect your information.
Many injuries are able to be treated fully telehealth. Your PT will let you know if you are a great candidate for remote care or would benefit from in-clinic therapy.
