How does Telehealth work?

Your Osteo or Physio will arrange an appointment time, and via video link will connect with you to address your concerns. No matter what your pain, your practitioner can diagnose you using movement screening. Once you have a correct diagnosis, your practitioner will guide you through some active therapy and provide you with all the tools from home to manage your pain.

How can Telehealth help when there’s no “hands on”?

Most importantly, your Osteo or Physio can prescribe you specific exercise rehab that will provide long term changes to your body!
