Moving Our Program From Your Home to Your Home Screen
What is Online Physical Therapy and How Can It Help Me?
​
Simply put, “Telehealth Physical Therapy” (or “Virtual Physical Therapy”) refers to physical therapy services that are provided over a technology platform, rather than our normal one-on-one visits in your home.
​Don't miss a beat in your health during this unprecedented time when health is the most prized asset of all! This program came about at the onset of the epidemic.
People were afraid, uncertain and doing their best to stay present with their family and kids. They needed physical therapy but had no great option until Telehealth.
​
What happened was the advent of a system of delivery of physical therapy that is really effective...we can still give you amazing advice, education and one-on-one guidance to help you move better, feel better, and live better.
​
​
​
5 reasons Online Physical Therapy is a great option:
​
​1. Feel Your Best: When it's time to leave your home, leave feeling your ultimate best. This is going to give you the confidence to thrive throughout the year.
2. Save Time: Online Physical Therapy visits only take a computer, tablet or phone. You don't have to drive anywhere or buy equipment. You get to meet with the PT and then start implementing all the tools, exercises, techniques and routines right away. Your transformation is only a click or two away.
3. Privacy: Maybe you have concerns about walking into a clinic or what other people may think of you. You may worry that others will be watching you doing new or intimidating exercises.
Well guess what? Now you don't have to worry about what anyone thinks. It is simply only you and your PT. Privacy is our number 1 concern and you will conduct your visit on a HIPAA safe platform.
4. Accountability: The number one reason people love doing the online PT sessions, is because it holds them accountable to the program they are doing to help transform their bodies. This allows them to be consistent. We all know that transformation takes consistency and we are so excited to be able to hold you accountable in the comfort of your own home.
This holds especially true when most folks are succumbing to vacation mode way of living. But we all know how we feel after vacation.... usually we want or need to get moving again and clean up our diets after that. I challenge you, Why Wait?
​
5. It REALLY WORKS: Most people are skeptical at first and think that it won't work for them. Maybe they think that they need hands on their bodies to get better. Well guess what, there is so much we can do now that you will get you to your transformation. Outcomes are great and studies are proving this...ask us for proof!

As long as you have internet service, it's literally as easy as turning on your phone, your tablet, or your computer and clicking on a few buttons. You see us and we see and hear you just like we would if we were together in your home.
​
-
Each session will last about 30 minutes-60 minutes depending on your specific needs and the quality of life outcomes we are moving towards. During the session we will get an update on your progress and move your program ahead just like in a normal PT session. We will have you go through your exercises with 1-on-1 instruction and correction if needed. And of course, upgrade exercises as able.
​
​

The treatment will be conducted using a simple video system on your phone, your tablet, or your computer. Our program uses Zoom.com

How can you help me get better if you don't have equipment?
​
-
We have never needed equipment. You get better because you care more about your health than being in a gym with fitness equipment. Our experience in our In-Home PT Program has proven 100s of times that our teaching, assessment, and education are way more valuable than gym equipment.
