Virtual Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

---

Virtual physiotherapy is an evidenced-based assessment and treatment method that can be delivered through video or telephone consultation. 

Whilst it cannot replace all face-to-face consultations, it is an effective and appropriate method of care for the majority of less complex musculoskeletal conditions and the assessment and ongoing treatment of these.

Our physiotherapist can use virtual physiotherapy to provide education and advice to help service users manage and improve their symptoms. Our physiotherapist can also guide service users with self-management and progression support techniques, including exercise therapy and rehabilitation, self-joint mobilisation, self-trigger point release and other soft-tissue treatments and functional movement re-education strategies. Our physiotherapist can also advise on the purchase of appropriate home exercise equipment and other off-the-shelf devices which may support recovery, such as wrist splints or supports. 

• Convenience
• Same day appointments are possible
• Suitable for less complex MSK conditions and acute injuries
• More affordable service fee (compared to face-to-face)

Your initial consultation will usually be through a video call (on ZOOM), unless you say otherwise. If you'd like a telephone call instead, please send us a text or an email after confirming your booking.

Our physiotherapist will firstly discuss your main problem and symptoms, and you may be asked to do certain movements and tests. After thoroughly assessing you, our physiotherapist will show you specific exercises  and give you appropriate advice and education tailored to your needs and goals. In more complex circumstances and conditions, our physiotherapist may advise you to schedule a face-to-face consultation. 

Depending on your condition and symptoms, our physiotherapist may also advise you to book a follow up appointment (virtual or face-to-face) to re-assess your progress, modify your exercises and treatments, and answer any questions you may have. Our physiotherapist may also indicate to you if a follow up is not necessary, but you will be able to book one if you feel that you require it in the future.

You will automatically be sent a ZOOM video call link to your email after booking your appointment.
