Online Physiotherapy

I offer Online Physiotherapy Consultations to those who can’t be in Noosa and would like ongoing support from anywhere in the world. In our virtual Physiotherapy consult via telehealth, I’ll get to the root cause of your issue, give you helpful tools to alleviate your symptoms and work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Online Physiotherapy Consultations

Having worked as a Sports Physio around the world, my clients found it difficult to find a local Physio who could give them the same quality service. They often told me “there’s no Physio like you” which was lovely to hear and also troubling that my clients didn’t have the support they required. This prompted me to offer virtual Physio consultations so that distance was no longer a barrier. I’ve worked online with clients living in the US, Canada, Philippines and major Australian cities.

Although you won’t receive ‘hands on’ therapy online, you will still gain an understanding of what it going on, self treatment techniques, modification to your current activities, helpful tips and a personalised rehab program to drastically accelerate your recovery.

What to Expect in an Online Physio Consult

Initial Assessment:

I’ll begin my asking you about your current symptoms, your injury and medical history and may ask you to perform certain movements to assess and identify the areas of concern. I want to get to the root cause and give you a diagnosis on day one so we can work on the root cause and not just symptom management.

Discussion of Goals:

If you had no limitations or barriers in life, I want to know exactly what you’d love to achieve. Pain relief is important to most and then there’s the fun activities you want to get back to doing. This valuable info helps me understand you and where we need to get you. The sky is the limit!

Exercise Prescription:

Based on my assessment, I’ll prescribe specific exercises and stretches tailored to your needs to get the quickest result. We’ll practice them together and you’ll be on your way to recovery in the first session.

Education and Advice:

I’ll provide you with an explanation of what is going on, how to fix it and what you can do to accelerate recovery all in the comfort of your own home.

Overall, online physiotherapy consultations are still a really effective way to receive care, especially if you live in a remote area or have mobility issues (which most people do). Telehealth technology has come a far way and now everyone has more access to the best possible care. Take control of your pain today in the comfort of your home.
