Not that long ago, there were few people actually using virtual physical therapy. This is borne out by an Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center study that reports only about 5% of their patients were using virtual health care services in the first quarter of 2020.

A rapid increase in the importance of virtual physical therapy and other virtual health care services has happened since then. In part, this rise is related to the rise of COVID-19 levels. However, there are many other reasons why virtual physical therapy has become so important to many people.
