The Convenience of Care: Telehealth Physical Therapy Sessions

In today’s fast-paced world, finding time for in-person appointments can be challenging. That’s where telehealth services come in! Essentially, it is a way for us to make sure that our patients are still receiving the highest possible quality of care they need from a remote location. At FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers Chicago, we offer convenient telehealth sessions to help you achieve your physical therapy goals from the comfort of your home.

What to Expect During Telehealth Sessions

Our experienced physical therapists will guide you through a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan, all through a secure video platform. You’ll receive expert guidance on exercises, stretches, and pain management techniques, tailored to your specific needs. Telehealth services can be accessed via your smartphone or computer, and you will be able to perform your PT treatments from the comfort of your own home during this quarantine. At Omni Physical Therapy Services, our telehealth services offer a live appointment where you can meet and chat with your physical therapist about your treatment plan. At any point you can also message one of our physical therapists to ask questions or get advice about your condition.

Benefits of Virtual Physical Therapy

With telehealth, you can access high-quality physical therapy services without the need for transportation or time off work. Telehealth sessions are a great way to stay on track with your recovery, especially during busy holiday seasons or inclement weather. By providing care for our patients virtually, as opposed to in person, we are able to keep both our patients and PT providers safe. We believe that everyone deserves access to exceptional care, and telehealth makes it possible for more people to receive the support they need. You will also be able to track your progress and see how you are improving throughout your treatments.

Conditions Treated via Telehealth

There are numerous conditions that can still be treated and improved via telehealth services. Below is a summary of conditions and specialties available:

Preparing for Your First Appointment

Your first physical therapy appointment is about creating a personalized treatment plan based on your health history, diagnosis, and goals. At your appointment, we’ll do an initial evaluation and discuss your care plan. Please arrive 15 minutes early to your virtual platform. If applicable, have your physician referral or prescription and insurance card ready. Although coverage will vary from plan to plan, many physical therapy, occupational therapy and speciality therapy programs are covered under insurance.

Communication and Data Security

We enable patients to communicate with providers, reducing communication gaps, phone tag, and readmissions. It is important to streamline communications without sacrificing your privacy and PHI security. For providers, we help Athletic Trainers with injury documentation and communication to spend less time on paperwork. Our systems are secure; we have a SOC 2, Type II and we are compliant with both HIPAA and FERPA. This ensures that you can document on the field or in the training room—when and where it’s convenient for you.
