One of the positive things that came from the COVID-era was an increased focus on telehealth services and virtual medical visits. Most insurance companies now pay for virtual visits for physical therapy, and most patients already have the technology needed for visits on their phones or laptops. But, still there’s the question of whether virtual therapy appointments are beneficial.
Wonder if telehealth & virtual therapy appointments could benefit you?
Telehealth can be beneficial to most patients, aside from those whose treatments are primarily hands-on, manual therapy sessions. A virtual visit usually entails a shorter session focused on beefing up home exercises, checking in concerning new complications, or progressing established exercises. Some of the main reasons people participate in telehealth are to save time and money.
Virtual visits are generally well-liked by patients and can be great for:
- Avoiding transportation troubles
- Check-in visits to ensure patient is doing well
- Updating existing home exercises and tweaking routines
- Anyone short on time
- Those who need a little accountability to keep up with strengthening programs
