We are now offering telehealth physio consultations for those people unable to attend the clinic in light of the coronavirus situation.

The concept of an online physio consultation may seem a little different at first. But there is still so much we can offer over a video or phone call to help fix your injury. In recent years research has affirmed the role of specific therapeutic exercises in the treatment of most musculoskeletal injuries and this has now become the cornerstone of many of our sessions. The good news is that we can still prescribe these exercises online! At Rebound Physiotherapy we have developed a database of thousands of exercises ready to prescribe via email directly to you.

In addition to therapeutic exercise, a telehealth appointment can be useful to:

  • Give you tips and tricks for self-massage
  • Interpret your scan results
  • Assess your posture, flexibility and strength
  • Refer for x-rays and other scans
  • Recommend chest physio exercises
  • Provide an ergonomic assessment

Some injuries may be more amenable to treatment via telehealth than others. We believe the following list of injuries are suited to an online consult.

  • Back Pain (Lower and Mid)
  • Knee Pain
  • Shoulder Pain
  • Heel and Achilles Pain
  • Hip Pain
  • If you are recovering from any orthopaedic operation (Knee replacements, ACL repairs, shoulder operations, Achilles tendon repairs and more)
