Even though we are now open, we are still offering telerehab appointments. The fees for virtual appointments are the same as in clinic appointments.

What is tele-rehabilitation?

Tele-rehabilitation is the provision of physiotherapy services at a distance, by an information or communication technology such as video conferencing, when an in-person visit is not possible. A patient can expect the same safe, effective, and ethical care as an in-person visit and the physiotherapist must comply with all regulatory requirements.  Tele-rehabilitation may be appropriate if the patient cannot easily access an in-person visit due to a shortage of physiotherapy services available in the region where the patient lives or because of transportation or mobility concerns. Physiotherapists should use their professional judgment to determine if this model of care is the most appropriate available method to deliver physiotherapy care and that the patient is not exposed to any increased risk. Patients and physiotherapists alike need to recognize any limitations that tele-rehabilitation services present including privacy of personal health information, safety of the patient within the context of their home or work environment and the inability to perform a hands-on assessment and subsequent treatment.
