Telehealth, or as I like to call it – Online Consultations – are appointments where the client (you!) and the physiotherapist (me!) are simultaneously present during the consultation and have synchronous audio-visual communication but are not co-located.

Basically, your facetiming your physio!

Online Consultations are a great way that the community can access health care in these uncertain times, but it can also be a valid way to receive treatment when the world isn’t in the midst of a pandemic as well.

Think about all the times you were rushing to leave the house and your baby wouldn’t stop crying and your toddler kept taking their shoes off while wearing their undies on their head. How nice would it be to just jump on the computer for half an hour to talk to someone and figure out how best to achieve your goals?

Or if you live somewhere where it’s difficult to access healthcare. That doesn’t exempt you from pelvic floor issues, but it does make it harder to get help. Online consultations can be really valuable in lots of situations. It’s just taken a pandemic to get everyone on board with them!
