Virtual Care / Telehealth

It’s here! Virtual Care is now available!

What is Virtual Care / Telehealth?

A virtual appointment is private, secure, one-on-one video conferencing with your clinician providing the knowledge and expertise your can count on from the comfort of your own home.

Who are Virtual Care appointments for?

Virtual appointments are for anyone in need of therapeutic care but are unable to travel to the clinic, for example: unable to easily move around due to pain or early surgery, post-natal care, no form of transportation to get to clinic or a global pandemic as we are experiencing now.

What can be done in a Virtual care appointment?

Lots! Essentially EVERYTHING that is offered and delivered during an in-person appointment can be covered in a virtual care appointment with the exception of hands-on physical assessment or treatment and acupuncture. If you have someone at home to help you, we can problem solve even more if you’re in need of any physical assistance.

Virtual care brings ellephysio to you!

Virtual Care can be a great solution for:

  • Any person with transportation or mobility difficulties (acute or chronic)
  • New moms who find it difficult to come in person either before or after their 6 week postnatal in-person check up
  • Individuals whose care no longer requires manual (hands-on) therapy and are focused more on exercise progression, education, lifestyle medicine and integration, among other non-manual therapies or treatment requiring close supervision
  • Professionals whom are stuck at the office and can’t get away for care
  • Someone living in a remote community with no local clinic to attend
  • Weather makes it so you can’t get out to the clinic
  • Practitioners whom wish to consult with an advanced practice provider
  • Those who live in a community that does not have the specific services you need
