ABOUT TELEFOCUS PHYSICAL THERAPY
What is Telehealth Physical Therapy?
Telehealth physical therapy involves speaking one on one with a physical therapist over a secure video connection for evaluation and treatment sessions. Research has shown that many orthopedic injuries that do not require hands-on treatment can be treated very successfully through telehealth! If you need advice on symptom management and progression after a concussion, or help with treatment of vertigo symptoms, this can often be addressed through telehealth PT without needing to leave your home. During and after cancer treatment, it's important to keep up your strength and activity level. Telehealth physical therapy sessions can be effectively performed online so that you can safely remain in your home if your blood counts are low or you feel weak. Some individuals live too far from a PT clinic to receive treatment each week, and telehealth PT can be a great solution to assist with recovery!
Why Choose TeleFocus PT
With TeleFocus Physical Therapy, you can meet one on one with your physical therapist for the entire treatment session. Assessment by an experienced physical therapist can happen at your fingertips and on your time using your computer or mobile device!
