TeleHealth

What is TeleHealth?

TeleHealth is rehabilitation services using electronic communication technologies as an alternative to face to face interactions. During this COVID 19 pandemic, TeleHealth can be a safe alternative for patients to keep in touch with their therapist when an in person appointment is not possible due to safety concerns and guidelines laid out by Canadian government and health authorities.

Patients can expect to receive the same safe quality care as an in person appointment with their therapist. Therapists are expected to meet the same standards of practice regardless of how the services are delivered.

What are the risks of receiving care via TeleHealth?

The risks of receiving physiotherapy or chiropractic care will be outlined in the patient consent form you will sign prior to your appointment. The only additional risk associated with TeleHealth relate to the privacy of your personal health information and your personal safety. Your therapist will use appropriate technology in a proper setting to ensure that your personal information is kept secure and private.

What are the benefits of TeleHealth during this COVID 19 pandemic?

For current patients of The Physio Center Inc. TeleHealth is a great way of ensuring you continue to progress in the right direction with regards to your current issue you sought care for. You have come to know your therapist and trust their advice, so relying on their professional expertise to guide you in your recovery is the best option when in person care is not advised.

For other individuals, who have sustained new injuries or underwent surgical procedures, rehabilitation is a very important part of the process to ensure you make an optimal recovery. One of the most essential components of recovery is exercise; our therapists specialize in exercise prescription and will give you a personalized program tailored to your needs. In addition to this your therapist will be able to provide evidence based recommendations as a trained professional with clinical experience….Google can’t do that!!

Do I have to pay for Tele Health services?

You can contact our clinic via email or telephone, and a therapist will get back to you within 48 hours.  Our current fees of $95 for assessment and $71 for follow up appointments still apply. You should contact your private insurance provider or third party coverage provider to determine your specific insurance coverage
