FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


WHAT IS TELEREHABILITATION AND IS IT APPROPRIATE FOR YOU?


Telerehabilitation/telehealth and/ or virtual care is a communication tool that allows your physiotherapist and you to communicate with each other via video conferencing technology.

​

Not all patients and injuries are appropriate for telehealth. We suggest giving our clinic a call to find out whether you’re a good candidate for telehealth.

​

WILL I GET THE SAME LEVEL OF CARE?


Yes, absolutely! You will receive the same expert care as if you were seeing the physiotherapist in person.

​

WHAT IS REQUIRED OF ME?

​

 

  • Space to move your body

  • A private, quiet space free of distractions

  • A laptop, smartphone (Android or iPhone) or tablet (such as an iPad) with a camera and a microphone. No software application is required.


HOW DOES IT WORK?


Prior to your appointment, you will receive (via email or text) a link to your appointment session. This will enable both an audio and video connection between you and your physiotherapist.

​

Any documentation that you need to review and complete prior to your appointment will be sent to you ahead of time.

​

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT?


At the beginning of a telerehabilitation session, the physiotherapist will review your ID, obtain consent to participate in the session via the electronic communication platform and will then proceed with the assessment or treatment in a similar manner as for an in-person appointment, including discussing your medical history, concerns and current status.

​

HOW DO I PAY?


Payment is due at the time of your appointment via credit card. Your credit card will only be used to process payment for telerehabilitation sessions

A receipt will be emailed to you upon payment which can be submitted to your insurance company.


Our physiotherapists will be using a telerehabilitation platform for the appointments. Each virtual care session will last from 15 to 60 minutes. Our private rates will remain the same.
