I’m sure you’re wondering what exactly online physiotherapy or Tele-Physio is? So let me explain…
Online Physiotherapy or Tele-Physio is a premium one on one virtual physiotherapy experience so that you can still get the benefits of an expert physiotherapist to assist you with pain or injury from the safety of your own home. Currently right now people all over Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the world are being asked to practice social distancing or physical distancing. Just because you are staying at home does not mean you cannot get high quality evaluations and treatments from a physiotherapist and get pain relief or assistance in recovering from your injury. This is a revolutionary physiotherapy service which can allow physiotherapy to be more accessible than ever before. It will allow people from anywhere in Ontario to have access to our physiotherapy services. All you need is a smartphone, a computer, or an ipad, and internet to receive this service. You can receive physiotherapy in Timmins and your Physiotherapist is in Toronto.
To help increase access to physiotherapy and encouragement of social distancing I am offering a nearly 50% discount off my services for people who take advantage of my online physiotherapy services until the practice of social distancing is no longer recommended.
Can online physiotherapy (Tele-Physio) still be as effective as an in person treatment? Absolutely!
Although with this service we obviously cannot provide “hands on manual therapy” treatment there is many things that we can teach you to replicate and reproduce the results of “hands on work.” We will also be able to effectively progress your exercise to continue to work towards your goals.
While social distancing is being strongly recommended by the Public Health Agency of Canada at the time of this writing many people are experiencing neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain and a variety of other problems and mobility issues which they cannot get assistance as most health care professionals including physiotherapists are currently only addressing urgent cases directly. Therefore, many of these people have been left in the dark about what to do if they are experiencing pain or discomfort which is impacting their life. Online physiotherapy is a great way to address these problems and can be taken full advantage of from your own home while practicing social distancing.
Here are some reasons online physiotherapy (Tele-Physio) can be a great option!
Convenience: You can access this service any time anywhere in Ontario from the safety of your own home. You don’t have to battle traffic in the city or drive long distances in the country.
Highly Effective Expert Treatment: You can receive effective evaluations and treatment by a physiotherapist. Exercises, self- mobilization, self -acupressure, self -muscle release and taping techniques can be shown so that you can still receive a highly effective treatment. You can get the opinion of the expert of your choice and not be limited by where you live.
Prevents Chronic Pain: Attending to injuries in a timely manner helps to decrease the likelihood that people will experience chronic pain. Which is a major cause of ongoing pain and disability in Ontario.
Helping People Cope With Chronic Pain: Many people in chronic pain rely on health care professionals such as physiotherapists to help them cope with everyday living. This service will help them get treatment when they are unable to visit their physiotherapist or heath care professional for support and treatment.
Increased Accessibility: This service can be offered to anyone in Ontario as long as they have a smart phone, computer, ipad and internet.
Increased Availability of Physiotherapy:This allows for people to access physiotherapy treatment while people are practicing social distancing during this difficult COVID-19 pandemic.
