If you can answer YES to any of these questions then YES, you can be a good candidate for Telehealth. With telehealth, we are able to see you in your home environment. This can give us a better understanding of your day-to-day life and allow us to evaluate and modify your movements as needed. Like an in-clinic visit, our therapists can still perform a full-body assessment and review functional movements such as reaching overhead, lifting, squatting, kneeling, getting in and out of a chair. Listening to your story and observing your movements tells us a lot about you!

We love to hear our patients’ success stories. How has your life improved through your experience with us? Are you moving better and feeling better? Do you have a therapist you want to applaud? Share your experience with us!

When patients can’t make their in-clinic sessions for the prescribed frequency, telehealth offers a convenient alternative so that they can continue to achieve a superior outcome. Telehealth services can be utilized for full-time therapy OR as part of a hybrid model with in-clinic visits.
