What is Mobile Physiotherapy and How Does It Work?

Physiotherapy is a type of treatment that helps people with injuries or illnesses improve their physical function. It can also help people maintain good health and improve their quality of life. Traditionally, physiotherapy has been offered in a clinic setting. However, there is a new type of physiotherapy that is becoming increasingly popular- mobile physiotherapy. So what is mobile physiotherapy, and how does it work?

What is mobile physiotherapy?

Mobile physiotherapy is a type of physiotherapy that is delivered to patients in their homes or other locations outside of a traditional clinical setting. Mobile physiotherapists are trained to provide care and treatment to patients with a wide range of physical needs and abilities, and they work closely with patients to develop individualized treatment plans that address their specific goals and objectives. Mobile physiotherapy services can be particularly beneficial for seniors or those who have difficulty accessing traditional physiotherapy care. In addition, mobile physiotherapy can be an effective solution for those who live in rural or isolated communities where access to healthcare services is limited.

Mobile physiotherapists work with patients who have a wide range of injuries, impairments, and disabilities. They also provide education and support to caregivers. In some cases, mobile physiotherapy can be just as effective as traditional outpatient therapy. However, there are some advantages and disadvantages to this type of care.

What to Expect From Your First Home Visit Physiotherapy Appointment?

A physiotherapist can help you to manage your pain and improve your mobility. If you have never been to see a physiotherapist before, you may be wondering what to expect from your first home visit appointment. 

First, your physiotherapist will take a detailed history of your pain, exploring when it started, what makes it worse, and what makes it better. They will then conduct a physical examination, testing your range of motion, flexibility, and strength. Based on this information, they will develop a treatment plan which may include exercises, manual therapy, and education. 

Your physiotherapist will also provide you with advice on how to manage your pain on a day-to-day basis. They will discuss things like posture, activity level, and self-care techniques. After your first home visit appointment, you should feel more informed about your condition and empowered to take steps to improve your pain and mobility.

Should I Do Virtual Physiotherapy or Mobile Physiotherapy?

More and more, medical professionals are looking to technology to provide solutions for their patients. Virtual physiotherapy is one such solution that is becoming increasingly popular. But what conditions can be treated with virtual physiotherapy? The answer may surprise you. Everything from chronic pain to stroke recovery can be assisted with virtual physiotherapy.

As more and more people worldwide gain access to high-speed internet, the delivery of health care services is increasingly moving online. One type of service that is well suited to an online format is physiotherapy. Physiotherapy is a hands-on discipline that requires regular communication and interaction between therapist and patient. However, recent advances in video calling technology have made it possible for physiotherapy to be delivered remotely.

Online physiotherapy can take many forms, but typically it involves the use of live video calls, pre-recorded videos, and email or chat communications.

This type of therapy has numerous advantages, including increased flexibility, lower costs, and improved access to care. Furthermore, online physiotherapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for treating a variety of conditions. As the delivery of health care services continues to evolve, online physiotherapy is likely to become an increasingly popular option for patients and therapists alike.

Is Virtual Physical Therapy Effective?

In recent years, there has been a growing trend of healthcare providers offering virtual physical therapy (VPT) (a.k.a physiotherapy). While the use of VPT is still relatively new, there is evidence to suggest that it can be just as effective as traditional in-person therapy. 

  • The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery recently published a study that compared traditional care with telerehabilitation for patients recovering from total knee arthroplasty. The results showed no difference in effectiveness, meaning it doesn’t matter whether you receive your treatment at home or through remote coaching sessions – both provide similar relief!
Below are more examples of how VPT can be effective:

  • In this study, it turned out that patients who received virtual physical therapy were just as satisfied with their sessions during COVID-19, even though most couldn’t attend in person due to quarantine restrictions.

  • The use of telehealth to deliver patient care has been proven time and again, with the American Physical Therapy Association advocating its effectiveness.
