How Does An Online Physiotherapy Consultation Work?
As the name suggests, an online Physiotherapy consultation is perfect for those unable to seek help in person.
The following are common reasons to have an online Physiotherapy Consultation:
- Live remotely
- Lack of time for in-person Physiotherapy
- Injury while away on holiday/overseas
- Looking to learn more about your condition
- Wanting a second opinion.
- Temporarily housebound.
...and in order to best meet your consultation goals it’s important to familiarize yourself with the below process.
1. Online Physiotherapy Assessment
Like any regular Physical Therapy assessment, your therapist will need to ask a series of specific questions to fully understand the nature of your complaint. You may also perform a series of physical movements and tests to round out your diagnosis. The Physical Therapist will then work with you to make a plan for your recovery.
2. Online Physiotherapy Treatment
After achieving a clear diagnosis, your therapist will likely provide in-depth education on the following:
- What your injury is
- Why it occurred
- Likely lifestyle factors involved in your injury
- Recommendations for work and activity going forwards
- Estimated time of recovery.
Your Physiotherapist will also provide an exercise program tailored specifically to your needs. These exercises typically focus on improving any deficits in strength, mobility, posture and body mechanics.
As your condition improves, these exercises will change and progress with you. Once you feel your rehabilitation is complete we can prescribe more exercises to help maintain your status and prevent reoccurrence.
3. Support
Physiotherapy is not just about assessments, diagnoses, education and treatment, it’s also about support. So it’s important to feel you have the capacity to ask questions and seek guidance with an online Physiotherapy consultation.
4. Video Chat Software
In order to have your online Physiotherapy consultation we need to use appropriate video chat software. We currently support the following
programs:
- Google Meet
- Zoom
- Skype
- Duo

from your online Physical Therapy consultation please come prepared with the
following:

2. Enough space around/behind you to perform tests/exercises
3. Any medical scans – MRI, X-Ray etc
4. Plenty of questions!
3. Do I need a referral to have an online Physical Therapy consultation?
No, you do not require a referral to have an online Physiotherapy consultation.
4. Can I use my insurance for an online Physiotherapy consultation?
Unfortunately we do not currently support the use of insurance with online Physiotherapy consultations.
5. How can I be diagnosed online without seeing someone in person?
An experienced Physiotherapist will be able to diagnose your condition by asking a series of in-depth questions and getting you to perform particular movements and tests.
6. Will I need to remove my clothing for an online Physiotherapy consultation?
Much like an in-clinic consultation your therapist may need to observe the painful area for clues as to the cause of your pain. In some instances you may need to remove, lift up, or pull aside particular items of clothing to increase the accuracy of your diagnosis. HOWEVER, under no circumstances should you be made to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable. Your therapist may politely ask if absolutely necessary, but please feel free to decline if needed.
7. How can I be treated by someone over the internet?
Once an accurate diagnosis has been made, your therapist will provide you with the necessary means to self-treat your condition. This may include education, home strength and mobility exercises and ways to treat your own symptoms. This has been shown to increase compliance, empowerment and the sustainability of long-term rehab results. Your therapist will let you know the best way to treat your condition going forward.
