Have you heard about Telehealth therapy?
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced the closure of numerous health-care facilities, we as medical professionals are working hard to serve our patients in the best ways possible while minimizing the spread of this disease.
Telehealth has emerged as a fantastic way for patients to continue receiving medical care in the comfort of their own homes. We can keep both our patients and PT providers safe and healthy by providing care virtually rather than in person.

What is Telehealth?
At Advantage Physical Therapy – FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Center, our telehealth services offer a live appointment where you can meet and chat with our physical therapist about your treatment plan.
Telehealth is a method for medical providers, such as physicians and physical therapists, to ensure that our patients continue to receive the highest possible quality of care from a remote location, such as their home.
Telehealth services can be accessed using your smartphone or computer, and you will be able to complete your physical therapy treatments from the comfort of your own home. You’ll also be able to track your progress and see how you’re progressing as your treatment goes on.
At any point, you can also message one of our physical therapists to ask questions or get advice about your condition.

Safety of Telehealth
In addition to allowing for the practice of social distancing, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, telehealth also has other benefits for patients.
As stated by the American Physical Therapy Association, just a few of these include:
- “Patients typically in clinical or hospital settings could be managed from their homes
- Telehealth can facilitate consultation between providers or in clinical education
- Quicker screening, assessment, and referrals can improve care coordination within collaborative delivery models such as accountable care organizations or patient-centered medical homes”
