Telehealth FOR Physical Therapy?!

This year many different businesses and aspects of our life have become digital! For better or worse, our lives have pivoted into this new (and somewhat exciting) transition.

Physical therapy is NO different! We too have had to figure out the bumps and work out the kinks to still deliver skilled care to our patients so that they can get back to living their best life!

Telehealth has made scheduling sooooo much easier and allowed patients to be treated within the safe confines of their home.

Are you wondering how in the world physical therapy can even work through the computer? Then you are not alone!

One of the benefits of digital physical therapy is getting to connect in our patient’s home environment. Have we been talking about your posture while you work from home? Well lets go sit with you at your desk and work through it in that actual place!

Have you purchased one of our Pillowise Pillows (and if you haven’t PLEASE ask us about it and lets get you measured!)? We want to make sure you have it positioned properly with your specific mattress, then lay down and lets check it out!

We can do your exercises together and improvise ways to use what you have around your house (soup cans for weights, belts for stretching straps and more). This is awesome because we can help overcome any potential barriers to your home exercise program to make it WORK!!

We are even able to teach you how to do some hands-on techniques on your own OR with the assistance of a family member. We will be with you guiding you every step, so you don’t need to feel overwhelmed!

Telehealth is a NEW way to connect with our patients but it doesn’t make it any less valuable!

We recommend discussing with your therapist how YOU can make telehealth work in your treatment plan today so that you don’t loose all your amazing progress because of snow, a sick kiddo and more!

Looking forward to seeing you virtually AND in the office- whatever works best for your schedule!! Send us an email if you have more questions about Telehealth at getbetter@breakawaypt.com

P.S. Don’t forget to check out our equipment packages so that you have all the fun toys to keep up with your Home Exercise Program! We can have it all ready for you to swing by and grab quickly before your next telehealth appointment OR we are more than happy to deliver it to your doorstep😊
