Physical therapist who will do a telehealth consultation?

January 12, 2022 1:17 PM

I can't risk unnecessary exposure to covid, but my hip is messed up and I need to get it unmessed in order to be able to exercise and thereby not lose my entire mind. I've seen physical therapists before and know what they've told me about my hip. Now I need more guidance. Are there physical therapists that will do a telehealth consultation? My insurance definitely won't cover this, so I'm willing to pay out of pocket.

Gro Health is an app I use that has physical therapy consultants available for remote consults for a reasonable hourly rate.

My company offers a partnership with Physera and I have heard good things

If there's a practice in your area that you would prefer to use and take your insurance, call and ask! This is absolutely a thing that is happening in lots of places.

Yes I agree that you should find a PT practice that takes your insurance and see if they're doing video visits now (even if they never did them before Covid). I did just this thing about 1 year ago and I was pleasantly surprised at how effective the sessions were. (This is a practice that never did telehealth before.)

My physiotherapist specifically does this and I've had good results with him over the last year or so; he's a chronic pain specialist. If you want his contact info (and are ok with a physio who works out of Canada) feel free to Memail me!
