Achiness

 

 

Have you been experiencing achiness in your old age? Perhaps you may be thinking of visiting a physical therapist’s office for relief. With the prolongation of the COVID-19 pandemic, visiting a physical therapist might not be the safest option for everyone. However, telehealth physical therapy can be particularly helpful to those seeking a physical therapist’s care, for several reasons. Whatever aches and pains you or someone you care about may be experiencing, tele PT could provide relief.

Why is virtual physical therapy a good option for older people?

  • Convenience and accessibility — Meeting with a physical therapist virtually can be incredibly convenient and provide increased comfort. Telehealth meetings reduce the amount of time it would take to commute to an in-person office. It may also allow for a patient to feel more comfortable in their home setting. Telehealth appointments can make health care more accessible for all different kinds of people.
  • Lessened risk of exposure to COVID-19 — One of the many benefits of virtual physical therapy is that there is less of a risk of exposure to COVID-19. When a patient chooses to stay at home and meet with their physical therapist, their risk of exposure is significantly decreased.
  • Affordability — Virtual physical therapy appointments are typically covered by insurance providers just as in-person appointments are.

What kinds of conditions can be treated over virtual PT appointments?

  • Arthritis
  • Sprains
  • Fractures
