What makes telehealth so great?
Face to face is slowly becoming a thing of the past and it’s pretty amazing to see how services and businesses have completely pivoted in the crazy COVID-19 times.
Online exercise physiology consultations may have some limitations, as opposed to a physical consultation, but that’s something we want to help you adapt to so you’re still able to get the most out of each session.
Now more than ever, people need access to health professionals and thus, we’ve seen the rise of telehealth. Telehealth sessions might sound a little daunting, especially if the technology isn’t your best friend (we’ve all been there), but we promise, it’s much easier than you think.
There are a few easy steps to follow to get a session started, but after you’ve done it once, it’s a breeze to do again. After booking in an online session, we’ll set up a program for you on our end and you’ll receive an email confirmation with all the required details.
As a first point, you’ll need to download PhysiApp on your smartphone (Apple or Android) or go to www.physiapp.com on your laptop (with a camera). Then using the program code that was sent in the confirmation email, you can access your personalised program. Through this app, you’ll be able to join a call with us, follow video tutorials assigned to your program, take notes, message us directly, and check off your progression. You’ll always have our direct line if any tech issues arise, we know sometimes things can go wrong!
We’re pretty big advocates for telehealth sessions, we’ve been doing them now for a couple of months, and we think they’re an important part of our service offering going forward.
