Online Consultations

We exercise online, we work online, we socialise online, and as health professionals we can finally treat online! The rise of Telehealth means you can now receive expert treatment in the comfort of your own home. Each online consultation utilises your phone or computer’s camera to have a personal physio session wherever suits you best. It’s just as detailed as a face-to-face physio appointment, but means you can avoid travelling into town, finding parking and sitting in the waiting room.

I use a secure platform called Cliniko, ensuring our meeting will be as private as if we were in a clinic room together. Once your appointment is booked you’ll receive an email with simple instructions for how to log into it.

To begin with, I’ll make a thorough assessment to gain a good insight into your injury or presenting issues, as well as learn about you as a person. It may be a painful sensation that initiated our meeting, but you are so much more than that. I want to know what makes you tick; the hobbies you love, your exercise and health hopes and dreams.

I recommend wearing comfortable clothes like exercise gear, as I’ll be talking you through plenty of movements. After taking a detailed history I will assess, diagnose and treat just like any other physio meeting, only without the hands on part. Using an exercise prescription app called Rehab Guru I will send you videos of exercises specific to your rehabilitation; no fancy technology required. From your online consultations you’ll come away with a clear step-by-step plan for how to achieve your goals, and you will have taken the first step in doing so!
