Good news! If you have had to cancel your physiotherapy sessions and put your rehabilitation on hold, My Mobile Physio can help. Our physiotherapists can now continue your treatment online via Telehealth.
What is Telehealth?
With the current global Covid-19 pandemic, it has become more important than ever to look after your health. We at My Mobile Physio continue to offer quality care for our patients through home visits. There are many things we are doing as professionals to minimise risk of exposure through rigorous hygiene practices and patient screening to keep you and our staff safe. So, you are welcome to book in for a home physio session as normal, subject to our screening processes.
However, if you are in self-isolation or would prefer to minimise contact in any way, you may like to consult with us via Telehealth. Telehealth uses digital technology that’s readily available on your computer or phone to receive treatment from our physiotherapists. It is safe and effective, and our physios are trained to deliver Telehealth consultations.
Why is it important?
Our greatest concern is that our patients will lose the gains they have made through physiotherapy and decline in mobility, strength and function. We want to do everything we can to prevent this.
Secondly, there is potentially going to be an increased demand on hospital physiotherapy services and we want to help. Through physio at home or Telehealth sessions we hope to keep people strong and mobile, preventing hospital admissions.
Lastly, we hope to help with those being discharged from hospital early and those that have rehabilitation classes cancelled, such as cardiac and pulmonary rehab.
How does it work?
Telehealth allows us to continue with your rehabilitation and prevent any deterioration in strength, mobility and function. We are able to check in on how you are doing, answer any questions and then run through a rehabilitation/physiotherapy session together.
What will you need:
- Access to a phone, an iPad/tablet or a computer/laptop.
- If you are unsteady on your feet or might have difficulty setting up the above, have someone willing to help with you.
- A chair to sit on comfortably and a firm surface to hold onto in standing.
- Any equipment that you have at home that you have used in previous sessions.
What next?
Contact us on 1300 79 12 49, or email admin@ydnnprm7au.wpdns.siteto find out more and book an appointment. When you or your family member books in your Telehealth physio session you will be sent a confirmation email with a link. You will simply click on this link at the time of your session and you will be connected via video to your physiotherapist.
Stay safe and well.
Best wishes,
Lyndsey and the My Mobile Physio Team xx
