We are excited to announce NeuroSport is now offering telehealth visits to all patients (including Medicare). We still offer in-person visits with every precaution, but we wanted to provide an additional avenue to best help you during this time. Here are some questions and answers about telehealth.
What is telehealth?
Simply put, “telehealth physical therapy” (or “virtual physical therapy”) refers to physical therapy services that are provided over a secure video conference rather than in-person.
It is convenient and effective! Studies show that telehealth can be as effective as in-person therapy.
What do you need?
A computer, smart-phone, or iPad with camera and audio.
A good internet connection.
What to expect?
Just click a link sent to your email that will lead you to a secure website and connect you with your physical therapist via webcam (no need to download anything).
What if technology is difficult for me?
If you are having trouble, give us a call and we will guide you through the set up! Or we can discuss other methods of communication.
How can telehealth help you?
Telehealth is a great way to review or update your exercises for home.
Your physical therapist can guide you through mobilizations and stretches that are specific to you.
It is a great opportunity to get caregivers involved and teach them how to assist you with exercise at home.
Your physical therapist can help address any new aches or pains.
It is a unique opportunity for your physical therapist to see your home environment to help maximize safety and space for exercise.
Telehealth allows us to discuss your progress and techniques to continue your improvement until you can visit us in person.
How long is a visit?
Anywhere from 10-55 minutes depending on how much time you and your physical therapist decide you need.
How much will it cost?
Now covered by Medicare and some insurances! Call us if you have any questions or would like us to check your telehealth benefits.
Curious about telehealth?
Give us a call or send your physical therapist an email to discuss -- we are happy to answer any questions or help schedule a virtual visit!
NeuroSport is here for you, and we will continue to do our part to support you for both your short and long-term health and well-being!
