ONLINE PHYSIOTHERAPY CONSULTATIONS TO HELP IN A TOUGH TIME
COVID 19 UPDATE
I know it’s a tricky time for us all. We consider you a part of our family and your safety as well as that of our team is always highest priority. Because of this, we are implementing strict policies and procedures for the clinic regarding sickness as advised by the World Health Organisation.
We are asking if you have any flu-like symptoms such as; coughing, sore throat, fatigue and/or shortness of breath to please contact us about your appointment options.
As an extra precaution we are also asking if you have, or if any household family member has, returned from overseas travel please reschedule your appointment for 14 days after their/your return.
PHYSIOTHERAPY CONSULTATIONS ONLINE
If you have symptoms or are in self isolation there is good evidence to show telehealth physio is an effective strategy. We have been providing online physio services to our Corporate Clients under our “Work Injury Free” branding for a number of years. Given the situation we are all faced with we have decided to open that service up to our clinic patients.
Basically, we run through a normal physio session as a super cost-efficient package, stepping you through how to help yourself as well as guide your plan with unlimited support over a week, month or up to 3-month period. We do this with videoconferencing via computer or mobile phone.
During this unprecedented time frame, we want to help as much as we can and are also opening up our complete Work Injury Free injury prevention program with exercises, skills, techniques and strategy for all body parts. That way you have your home exercise in video format as well as having access to elite management skills for all body areas to help put you back in control for life.
So, rather than rescheduling or cancelling, call us to discuss your options!
