Telehealth Specialist

What is telehealth physical therapy?

Telehealth is a live, one-on-one video session with a licensed physical therapist. Using technology, the skilled team at Healing Rehab Physical Therapy SC delivers the same level of care you would receive at a traditional outpatient visit in the comfort of your own home.

Why should I get a telehealth physical therapy consultation?

There are many reasons people prefer telehealth physical therapy to outpatient appointments. Mobility restrictions and time constraints can make it difficult to get to the office, or you may feel more comfortable receiving treatment in your own home.

Either way, the goals of telehealth physical therapy are the same as outpatient treatment at Healing Rehab Physical Therapy SC:

• Relieve your pain, including back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries
• Improve your strength, range of motion, and flexibility
• Optimize your daily physical functioning

The team offers free telehealth consultations. If you decide telehealth isn’t right for you, you can still receive home care from one of their licensed physical therapists.

What happens during a telehealth appointment?

During your telehealth consultation, one of the skilled therapists at Healing Rehab Physical Therapy SC does the following:

• Takes a complete musculoskeletal history and discusses your pain and symptoms
• Performs an initial evaluation, including select physical tests to identify your particular areas that need improvement
• Creates an individualized home exercise plan to help you achieve your recovery goals

You don’t need any specialized training to participate in a telehealth appointment. All you need is access to a computer or other device that has a microphone and video camera.

What are the benefits of using telehealth physical therapy?

Telehealth physical therapy offers many advantages over in-person visits, including:

Accessibility

Telehealth technology makes high-quality physical therapy care available wherever you are, even if you live far from the Healing Rehab Physical Therapy SC office. Telehealth also makes it easier for people with mobility restrictions and health issues to stay connected with their therapist.

Personalized care

During a telehealth appointment, your physical therapist observes your movement in your usual surroundings. This allows them to make personalized recommendations based on your unique situation. You can even have family members or caregivers at your appointment, if that helps.

Efficiency

Telehealth saves you time, money, and stress because there’s no need to drive to and from your appointment or arrange for childcare. Additionally, your health insurance most likely covers telehealth appointments.
