Telerehabilitation Port Coquitlam
A virtual physiotherapy appointment – what we call ‘Telehrehab’ – is great when you can’t make it to the clinic for an in-person session. Telerehab empowers you to still have a 1-on-1 session with your physiotherapist without leaving your home or office.
Telerehab has many of the same benefits as a face-to-face physiotherapy session. You will work directly with your physio to discuss, assess, and diagnose problems just as if you were in the clinic. Your physiotherapist will help you to manage your condition and provide activities to alleviate symptoms.
How does Telerehab help?
Both physiotherapy assessments and follow-up sessions can be done via Telerehab.
During a virtual physiotherapy session, our therapists will:
- Assess and diagnose your problem
- Listen to your concerns, while giving you full attention and reassurance
- Explain how to manage your pain/condition
- Outline what activities will alleviate your symptoms, as well as those that may exacerbate your pain/injury
- Provide education and self-management techniques
- Develop a home exercise program
- Advise on an appropriate follow-up schedule
- Recommend necessary equipment – braces, tape, orthotics, etc. – if needed
Direct you to other services, when appropriate
How can I benefit from Telerehab?
Conditions that may benefit from virtual physiotherapy include:
- Muscle strains
- Joint sprains
- Back/neck/shoulder pain
- Tendonitis
- TMJ (jaw) pain
- Osteoporosis
- Osteoarthritis
- Scoliosis
- Postural dysfunctions
1. Schedule your appointment
Phone 604-474-1767 or email [email protected]
2. Fill out the intake forms
Intake forms will be emailed to you as soon as you book your appointment (returning clients skip this step).
3. Log in to your account
Log in a few minutes before your scheduled appointment so that you are ready. Your physiotherapist will send you an invitation to join the call at your scheduled appointment time.
Tips to optimize your appointment:
- Set up your device so you are hands-free, as you will likely need to move about during your appointment
- Have enough space to move around but still be in view of the camera on your device
- Headphones with a mic can improve sound quality, but are not required
What you need:
- An internet connection
- A computer, tablet or smartphone with a camera, speakers and mic
