Convenience from the Privacy of Your Own Home or Work... Physical Therapy or MVP Fitness Training
What is Telehealth?
An alternative to in-person physical therapy or MVP training visits where our Doctor of Physical Therapy, Dr. Klody, joins you on a secure interactive two-way video call to:
- Listen to your concerns and discuss your condition with you
- Watch you perform various movements while we assess your functional abilities and areas needing addressed
- Provide helpful instruction to reduce your symptoms and improve your functional strength and mobility
- Provide you with a customized home exercise program and self-care techniques tailored specifically to your needs
- Answer any and all questions that you may have about your condition and treatment or fitness plan
- Work as a team to set goals to get you back to what you love doing most or elevate your level of fitness as quickly and safely as we can
Practices around the country, including DPT Sport, have demonstrated that physical therapy (PT) treatment plans and fitness training instruction via telehealth yield excellent outcomes from the convenience of your home or office setting. If we feel that your issue or diagnosis would be better served in-person (i.e., in order to receive specialized manual hands-on work), we will let you know that when you call us to set up your PT Initial Evaluation or MVP Fitness Consult.
Telehealth Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be tech savvy or have special equipment to do Telehealth?
- Absolutely not… you only need one of the following:
a desktop computer, laptop, chromebook, tablet or iPad, or a smartphone (any brand) as long as it is currently supported by its maker/able to make updates (Apple, Samsung,etc.) - Our visit with you is easy and simple…we send you an email link and we are one click away
Is our Telehealth visit private and secure?
Absolutely, we take our clients/patients' privacy seriously....Our telehealth visit with you is encrypted end to end and fully HIPAA compliant. We then go an extra step once we are on the call to password protect our session with you to further safeguard your privacy
For Physical Therapy, what diagnoses can be seen via Telehealth?
- Virtually all diagnoses can be evaluated and treated via telehealth
- There are some diagnoses (i.e., some post-surgical diagnoses) that while they would do well with telehealth, they would do much better with in-person visits; if we feel that the issues you are experiencing fall into this category, we will let you know right away and offer both options
