Back2Work Physiotherapy Alternatives During Social Isolation

When most people think of physiotherapy they think of a clinic room, a treatment plinth, and a painful massage. Clearly this was on the mind of the Prime Minister when he addressed the nation on Tuesday night.

While manual therapy treatment is what most people remember (or in some cases would rather forget), the real value of our treatment comes from the advice, prescriptive exercise and activity modification that forms part of every successful physiotherapy intervention.

There is strong clinical evidence to show that effective intervention can be delivered through via virtual healthcare, such as Humanity Health Group’s Video Call platform. Some examples of where our Video Call can be effectively used include:

• Preventative stretching and strengthening programs to maintain health and wellbeing of your workers whilst they are working from home.
• Programs to assess and manage common musculoskeletal injuries like lower back pain, rotator cuff injuries, muscle tears.
• Graded, guided exercise programs for all neurological conditions. We can upskill any care worker of family member to assist if required.
• Cardiovascular programs the help people return to optimum function after cardiac events.

As an added benefit, our Video Call healthcare allows us to draw in the skills and experience from across our comprehensive allied health team. This means we can align clients to physios with the right skills and experience to manage the condition most effectively. It also means that we can draw in from our other disciplines. We can apply a team-care approach to client management instantly

Now is not the time to compromise your mental and physical wellbeing. Video Call is an excellent alternative to face-to-face continuity of care during the coronavirus social distancing and isolation requirements. It’s medical-grade virtual healthcare, meaning your information is secure and encrypted (unlike Skype and FaceTime) and we can share tip sheets, documents, reports and merge other health supports into sessions for integrated care. It’s also simple to set up and use.

Our physio team is skilled and experienced in delivering services via Video Call. Social distancing does not mean that you have to deal with pain by yourself, or put your rehab on hold.
