Telehealth Physical Therapy is as Effective as In-Person Sessions
A recent report underscores the benefits of virtual musculoskeletal (MSK) care when guided by physical therapists, finding that digital delivery of care is as effective as in-person therapy. This is significant, as many patients struggle to access in-person care or cannot prioritize it.
At 4:8 Physio, telehealth sessions are always an option! If you are unable to come to your appointment for any number of reasons, we would love to serve you virtually using our HIPAA compliant software.
American Physical Therapy Associate (APTA) president, Roger Herr states that “physical therapy is an underleveraged, underutilized, and undervalued service in healthcare. Virtual musculoskeletal solutions, when led by a physical therapist, could drive needed reforms to increase delivery of high-quality, affordable, and accessible care for improved patient health.″
Some patients struggle to access care, which can be due to mobility issues, physical location (such as remote areas), or scheduling conflicts. Our digital care services can help you experience accessible, effective care. Our documenting software, Healthie, is more than an EHR - it is designed to deliver virtual-first care.
This study emphasizes that the digital delivery of physical therapy is on par with in-person delivery when delivered by a licensed PT. Dr. Molly Gray, DPT holds her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Knoxville, Tennessee’s South College, a Bachelor’s in Exercise Physiology from Florida State University, and numerous post-graduate certifications: Institute of Clinical Excellence Certified Pelvic Therapist (ICE-P); Champion Performance Specialist (CP-S); Certified Kinesiotaping Practitioner (CKTP); National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer and Fitness Nutrition Specialist (NASM CPT & FNS).
Dr. Gray also has over 10 years of experience in the field, and is confident in treating everything from vertigo to plantar fasciitis. We are confident that she will be able to address all of your concerns and help you implement actionable strategies toward improvement, regardless of your appointment being in person or via telehealth.
