One of the best indicators of long term function is how well you move and how often you move. Virtual telehealth physical therapy and occupational therapy visits allow for expert analysis of your movement patterns to identify any potential restrictions or pain generators. Your therapist will explain their findings and use this data to generate a treatment program that you can perform using the tools available in your own home. Therapists are experts at coming up with creative solutions to get you on the road to recovery!
