Telehealth Physical Therapy
Telehealth physical therapy uses telecommunication technology to provide face-to-face treatment from a distance. At Healing Rehab Physical Therapy SC in Bloomingdale, Illinois, our expert team offers telehealth treatment sessions that are on par with the care you receive by coming to the office.
What Is Telehealth Physical Therapy?
Telehealth is a live, one-on-one video session with a licensed physical therapist. Using technology, our skilled team delivers the same level of care you would receive at a traditional outpatient visit in the comfort of your own home.
Why Choose Telehealth?
There are many reasons people prefer telehealth physical therapy to outpatient appointments:
- Mobility restrictions make it difficult to get to the office
- Time constraints and busy schedules
- Comfort and convenience of receiving treatment at home
The goals of telehealth physical therapy are the same as outpatient treatment:
- Relieve your pain, including back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries
- Improve your strength, range of motion, and flexibility
- Optimize your daily physical functioning
We offer free telehealth consultations. If you decide telehealth isn't right for you, you can still receive home care from one of our licensed physical therapists.
What Happens During a Telehealth Appointment?
During your telehealth consultation, one of our skilled therapists:
Takes Your History
Complete musculoskeletal history and discussion of your pain and symptoms
Initial Evaluation
Select physical tests to identify particular areas that need improvement
Creates Your Plan
Individualized home exercise plan to help you achieve your recovery goals
You don't need any specialized training to participate. All you need is access to a computer or other device that has a microphone and video camera.
Benefits of Telehealth Physical Therapy
Accessibility
Telehealth technology makes high-quality physical therapy care available wherever you are, even if you live far from our office. It 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.
Efficiency
Telehealth saves you time, money, and stress because there's no need to:
- Drive to and from your appointment
- Arrange for childcare
- Take time off work
Additionally, your health insurance most likely covers telehealth appointments.
