Feeling pain, stiffness, or discomfort but hesitant about an in-person visit? You’re not alone! Thankfully, Telehealth osteopathy has emerged as a convenient and effective solution, offering remote access to expert osteopathic care from the comfort of your own home.
But what is Telehealth?
Telehealth, also known as telemedicine, leverages technology to deliver healthcare services remotely. This includes osteopathic consultations, assessments, and even treatment guidance through secure video conferencing platforms.
So, how does Telehealth osteopathy work?
- Virtual Consultation: You’ll have a scheduled online appointment with your osteopath, where you’ll discuss your concerns, symptoms, and medical history.
- Remote Assessment: Your osteopath will use their expertise to assess your posture, movement, and potential restrictions through video observation and verbal guidance.
- Treatment Plan & Advice: Based on the assessment, your osteopath will create a personalised treatment plan, which may include self-care techniques, stretches, exercises, and lifestyle modifications.
- Follow-Up Support: You’ll benefit from ongoing guidance and support through follow-up consultations to ensure your progress and address any concerns.
