Telehealth FAQs
What is Telehealth / Virtual Physical Therapy?
Think of it as physical therapy that comes to you. You can now connect at home with your doctor and receive treatment through online audio and video. It’s covered by Medicare and private payers, too! So you don’t have to worry about an additional expense.
Will the telehealth visit be the same as an in-office visit?
You’ll see most of the same exercises, treatments, and interventions you would normally see in our facility. Of course, it won’t include manual, hands-on treatments. But we can still identify the reason for treatment and create an effective plan that works for you. You’ll receive expert guidance through every 30-minute session and the opportunity to ask any important questions you may have.
Will our sessions be as effective as in-clinic sessions?
What’s better than having your physical therapist assess, guide, and instruct you where you spend most your time? This is why some clients are actually more likely to stick to telehealth sessions. Some even see better results because it’s easier to be consistent and on time for every session!
Can I still make progress in physical therapy without coming into the clinic?
It’s definitely possible with an integrated home-treatment plan from your PhysicalOne physical therapist. With the online sessions, you can learn how to reduce the risk of deterioration and improve your symptoms.
Do I need equipment or space at home?
At least 6’ x 4’ of clear floor space is all you need. You can do most exercises using just your body weight. Or we can get creative using common household items once you’ve mastered the initial exercises.
What technology do I need for LIVE telehealth session?
Any device equipped with a microphone and camera that can connect to the internet via Google Chrome or Firefox. This includes smartphones, tablets, and laptops/desktops. When it’s time for your appointment, all you need to do is click or tap on the link sent via email or text.
Do I have to download a new app on my computer?
No app downloading necessary! Just click or tap the link in the email or text we send you, and the session will automatically start on your browser.
