TELEHEALTH PHYSICAL THERAPY in Oakland, CA
Telehealth physical therapy brings your physical therapist to you on your electronic device of choice.
- Our telehealth physical therapists can virtually evaluate and assess your injury or other physical therapy concerns.
- They can prescribe and modify your exercises and home program via a HIPAA-compliant platform and get you back to activity faster.
- Telehealth physical therapy will help you learn how to exercise in your own home environment.
We have found that you retain what you learn better when you learn it in the environment where you are going to use it.
It also allows your physical therapist to see your environment, such as your desk setup. It allows more specific feedback and instructions on improving posture, positioning, or other strategies to help you manage your physical therapy concerns.
While telehealth physical therapy obviously cannot include any hands-on work, you can benefit from it for almost any physical therapy problem.
Examples of conditions or situations where a virtual visit is convenient and effective:
- Acute injuries where leaving your house or traveling may be difficult, e.g., ankle sprain or back pain.
- Restrictive work schedules where time is lost to travel are prohibitive.
- Manage chronic conditions by checking in with your physical therapist from time to time, which helps keep you on track and functioning at your best.
- You are unable to leave your house, e.g. transportation or physical access challenges.
- You would like your physical therapist to assess how you exercise and function in your home environment.
