VideoPhysio
Providing virtual care from the comfort of your home
Physiotherapy In Motion is pleased to continue to offer Virtual Physiotherapy through VideoPhysio. During the ongoing COVID19 Crisis, the Physiotherapy InMotion Clinic has re-opened for in-person visits. This online platform is still open and offered to patients who are unable to come into the Clinic or who prefer this VideoPhysio platform. Patients are able to combine in person visits with VideoPhysio consults as well.

What is VideoPhysio?
VideoPhysio is the use of information or communication technologies to allow you and your physiotherapist to connect via telephone or video conference (similar to Skype or FaceTime) to receive physiotherapy services at a distance when an in-person visit creates a barrier to treatment. Physiotherapy Alberta College + Association has a very informative handout that helps explain and answer questions about VideoPhysio, also known as Telehealth. Click here to access it.
During a VideoPhysio appointment, your physiotherapist is able to listen and ask questions about your current injury/illness concerns, assess basic mobility and movements recommend a course of self-management that includes education, self-mobilization, exercises, and review of current rehab strategies..
You can expect to receive the same exceptional care through our VideoPhysio services as you would in the PT in Motion clinic. However, although many situations are served well by VideoPhysio, not everything will be appropriate. Your therapist will absolutely inform you if they feel they will not be able to help you via VideoPhysio ~ they will direct you to whom else in your own community (another health care profession for example), or the type of referral you may need to receive from your GP to move you forward in your care.
