Virtual Treatment - is it for you?!

As our normal changed, the entire manual health care profession had to adapt and find a way we could still help our patients throughout their rehab journey. That is when virtual treatments became the new norm, how we could still communicate with patients, asses injuries and prescribe an entire treatment plan all while safely socially distancing ourselves in our own homes.

At Cornerstone we did our research before jumping in, that is when we came familiar with Physitrack. It allows us to offer our patients the latest technologies. The program has a telehealth functions that allows us to talk to our patients via encrypted audio and video. Physitrack also has a massive exercise library with crystal clear, fully narrated videos to ensure you are performing your stretches and exercises correctly. Because in the end exercises are only beneficial if done, and done correctly! ( if you know me I am a stickler when it comes to exercises and making sure you do them correctly). The program also offers built in reminders to help keep you on track and motivated. We all know how easy it is to forget your boring rehab exercises.

So as we start moving into stage 3 and navigating our way I know many people are still apprehensive about coming to the clinic for in person treatments. That is why I will always continue to keep virtual treatments as a service I offer. Just as if you booked in for a new assessment at the clinic we will go through a full and complete assessment to identify the cause of your pain and discomfort. I will then communicate with you what treatment plan I believe will be best suited for you. Giving you a full treatment plan that could include self soft tissue release, stretches and rehab exercises. Not all injuries and conditions will benefit from virtual treatments. If after our assessment I believe in person treatments would be more beneficial for you that will be a topic we discuss in further detail later on.

I have also been utilizing Physitrack to create home training programs for some clients. The program allows me to virtually trained clients in the comfort of their own home. We are able to use what equipment you have and workout together. When we are unable to work out together virtually I am able to send you an entire training program with those crystal clear and fully narrated videos. This way you aren't left guessing what exercise I want you to perform. You can watch the video with full cuing and perform an exercise safely and effectively.

If virtual treatment is a service you think you may be interested in please do not hesitate to contact me. Before committing to a full assessment or treatment we can set up a complimentary 15 minute virtual session to see if this right for you.
