Physical therapy is a healthcare service that empowers patients to understand the root cause of their pain or dysfunction, collaborate one-on-one with a medical specialist that utilizes multiple treatment techniques to individualize care, and educates patients on maintaining function beyond discharge from care. Over the last few years, the profession of physical therapy has made significant advancements in delivering care despite our ongoing COVID environment.
Physical Therapy Appointment Options
MVPT Physical Therapy is dedicated to keeping our clinics safe and clean. Our staff takes the necessary precautions to ensure patients and employees stay safe and healthy while in our clinics. To help patients receive the care they need, we offer three appointment options for them to choose from.
Our patients can choose to receive care in our clinics, through telehealth sessions in the comfort and safety of home, or a combination of both depending upon what works best. These choices empower you to receive care even during this period of increased COVID precautions.
What are the Benefits of Telehealth Physical Therapy?
Telehealth is a live, one-on-one video appointment with a physical therapist that enables patients to receive their care in the comfort of their homes. If health restrictions such as COVID limit you from attending in-clinic appointments, telehealth is a great way for care to be continued. Here are a few other reasons to consider telehealth physical therapy:
- Accessibility– The steps needed to connect virtually with our physical therapists are simple and easy to follow. All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with audio and video.
- Personalized care– During telehealth sessions you still work one-on-one with your physical therapist, without the distraction of other patients in the vicinity.
- Success rate– Findings show that patients that participate in telehealth are more likely to stick to their home exercise program. In addition, a telehealth session gives your PT a look inside your home which can help them understand how to improve home safety.
- Flexibility– Scheduled to be in the clinic for your appointment but a call from school and a sick child making that impossible? Call our office and we can switch that in-person appointment to a telehealth appointment.
Staying On Track to Achieve Optimal Health
Time spent in physical therapy is an investment in your health. When getting to our clinic is a challenge, telehealth visits can keep you engaged with your physical therapist, on track with your care plan, and moving toward a recovery that helps you return to the activities you love.
