Remote Consultations - Physiocentric

Video and phone appointments are now available at Physiocentric

Physiocentric has launched an online physiotherapy service to support our clients during this uncertain period. This is to minimise disruption to treatment and recovery for people who are unable to attend our clinics.

This service is available to both new and existing clients, and if you already have an appointment booked to attend the clinic, this can easily be switched to a remote one.

You can have the appointment with the physio of your choice, and all calls are made via secure links.

This is available to both insured and self-pay clients, with many insurance companies now covering the cost of remote consultations via your existing medical insurance policy (you will need to check with your insurer prior to booking your appointment).

How does it work?

Once you’ve booked an appointment with our reception, you will be asked to email your Skype ID.

You will receive the usual reminder email confirmation of your appointment.

Please make sure that you have the latest version of Skype installed on the device on which you wish to hold the consultation. Please ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection, functioning camera and microphone.

At the time of the appointment, we will call you on your Skype ID, so please be logged in to Skype ready to accept our call.

Aim to be in a space where you can easily perform exercises and move around, if required.

If you have any relevant exercise equipment to hand that may be helpful, but don’t worry at all if you do not.

Your online consultation will include

Just like with any appointment, your physio will take a detailed history, assess your movements and problems, and provide you with a diagnosis where appropriate.

You will be able to demonstrate activities and movements that cause you difficulties or pain, and the physio will analyse what might be causing the issue, whilst discussing with you what can be done to help.

An individualised treatment plan will then be created for you, with images and/or videos of appropriate exercises emailed to you after your appointment.

If you are an existing client having a follow-up appointment, your physio will ask how you are getting on, reassess your movements and exercises where appropriate, and then modify and progress them accordingly.

We can also write to your GP or referring consultant if required.
