What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy is a healthcare specialty focused on the evaluation, management, and treatment of physical disorders.

How Do Virtual Physical Therapy Sessions Work?
Virtual physical therapy sessions, or telehealth, are conducted through video conferencing platforms that allow therapists to provide real-time feedback and guidance. During these sessions, your therapist will assess your progress, demonstrate and guide you through exercises, and provide education on proper techniques to ensure your safety and maximize the effectiveness of your treatment. These sessions may also include instructions for self-care and home exercises tailored to your specific needs.
Choosing the Right Virtual Physical Therapist
It is essential to select a physical therapist who is licensed and experienced in treating your specific condition. Look for therapists who specialize in your area of need, such as sports injuries, post-operative care, or chronic pain management. Additionally, consider their communication style and approach to ensure they are a good fit for your personal preferences.
