ONLINE SUPPORT
Access treatment from your home
What is Virtual Physiotherapy?
Due to social distance and home isolate The Clinic has developed Virtual physiotherapy sessions. These allow you to continue to access us for treatment from your home, under the supervision of a neuro physiotherapist.
Keeping moving is essential to maintain health, and prevent joint stiffness and muscle tightness, and deconditioning. It is our aim to support clients to keep active during this difficult time, so that they can continue with their rehabilitation during isolation.
By using a video calling system, your Physiotherapist will be able to have eyes on you in order to guide and give feedback on how you are exercising, assess for change and progress your exercise plans accordingly.
Our Physiotherapists can also work with your carers and/or loved ones in your household, to provide education and training on how they can support you with your rehabilitation.
