What is Telerehabilitation?

Telerehabilitation is a virtual consultation with your therapist. Via your computer, cell phone, or tablet, the therapist is able to evaluate your new condition, follow up on an existing condition, and recommend treatments that are customized for your needs.

How does it work?

  • A customer service agent will ask questions concerning your condition when you call to make an appointment.
  • Documents will then be sent to you via email in order for you to prepare for your first session.
  • At the time of your appointment, you and your therapist will meet on the virtual consultation platform to begin your telerehabilitation treatment.
