Telerehabilitation University Heights Calgary NW
Helping you through the COVID-19 pandemic.
What is "Telerehab?"
Telerehab is a one-on-one session held with you and your physiotherapist which takes place remotely on a secure telecommunication platform (ie: video conferencing).
You'd be surprised at what we can accomplish over telerehab. We can discover A LOT about what is causing your issues from hearing your symptoms and watching you move on video. There are several (safe) tests that we can also get you to do on your own that will tell us a lot of information. Our hands aren't always necessary!
Telerehab can provide us means to:
- discuss and evaluate your symptoms including pain, numbness/tingling, headaches and more;
- perform a detailed assessment;
- provide a treatment including therapeutic exercise (ex. stretching, rolling, strengthening, self-massage techniques), movement modification, workplace / home ergonomic modifications and more;
- education: sometimes just finding out what it is, and what it isn't can provide a great amount of relief;
This method of treatment would involve either a smart phone, tablet, laptop or computer that has access to a web camera and microphone and is linked to the internet. Many payment providers (workers compensation board, insurance, motor vehicle accident insurance, Alberta Health Services) are providing coverage for telehealth appointments.
