What to expect?
During your first Tele Rehab appointment, the physiotherapist will do an assessment of your current health condition, past medical health, examine your movement and function, and provide treatment and education for your condition. A description of the home exercises may be emailed to patients as part of treatment.
For follow up appointments, an examination of function will be done to reevaluate function and treatment will be provided as required.
If the condition is deemed to be resolved, the patient will be discharged from the physiotherapist caseload.
