DID YOU KNOW PHYSIO & EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY CONSULTS CAN BE PERFORMED ONLINE FROM THE SAFETY & CONVENIENCE OF YOUR OWN HOME OR OFFICE?
While our in-clinic Physio consults usually involve ‘hands-on’ treatment, and Exercise Physiology involves face-to-face contact, we guarantee you can still get amazing benefits from an Online Consultation. Physiotherapy as a profession has moved away from a reliance on complex machines and more towards structured management & rehabilitation plans, with education & progression that you can perform under our guidance without needing to attend in clinic.
And the great news is there extensive research evidence to support the benefits of Telehealth Online consults.
At Gold Coast Physio & Sports Health, we are now offering these Online Telehealth consultations to help you achieve your health, activity, exercise and sporting goals, from the safe & hygienic location of your choice, including the comfort of your own home!
WHEN SHOULD YOU CONSIDER A TELEHEALTH CONSULT? IMAGINE THIS….
What if you have a Consult booked in Clinic but your work schedules an important last-minute meeting that doesn’t leave you enough time to get to the Clinic, but you desperately need advice on how to progress to return to running program after a bone stress injury so you don’t re-injure?- What if you have a sick child at home so you can’t make the appointment you have booked in clinic, but you desperately still need Physio advice or assessment for your shoulder pain?
- What if you have just had a repeat episode of acute low back pain and you can’t drive to the Clinic?
- What if the exercises we have given you for your achilles pain are making the pain significantly better but you are travelling overseas for a few weeks away & need to know the exercise progressions?
- What if you strained your Calf muscle, are following the management & exercises prescribed already from a few clinic visit consults, but then you have to work from home for the week while your wife is away travelling, and you really need to know the next progression of rehab exercises?
- What if the World gets shut-down in a period of isolation due to Covid-19 or other threat and you still need physio advice and direction?
No problems at all- this scenarios are the perfect opportunity for you to benefit from a Telehealth Consult.
If you know you are not able to attend clinic, we can pre-book a Telehealth Consult.
If you need a last minute appointment change due to not being able to get to clinic, simply call us and we can change your in-clinic appointment to a Telehealth/Online Consultation. We will confirm with your Treating Therapist that this change still benefits you. The only difference may relate to whether or not you are able to claim Private Health Rebates for this appointment change (see below in Other Frequently Asked Questions for this).
