Preparing for Your Telehealth Appointment

  • Before your first appointment, please review and sign our consent form and fill out our patient intake form. (You can scan and email these to us at admin@physiosc.com or we can review your intake form with you during your first visit and have you give us verbal consent to treat you if you do not have a scanner available.)

How does Telehealth work…

  • Each session will last about 30-40 minutes. During the session we will get an update on your condition and progress your program just like in a normal PT session. We will have you go through your exercises with 1-on-1 instruction and correction, if needed.
  • If you are completing an evaluation via telehealth, this appointment may last closer to an hour so that we can obtain your history and complete an in-depth movement exam to determine which areas we need to focus on to achieve your goals
  • Treatment will be conducted using video conferencing, and our team will be available to get you set up on our HIPAA compliant video conferencing platform, which is FREE to you

How do I get set up with video conferencing?

Optimizing Your Telehealth Experience:

Telehealth may be something brand new for you and maybe you’re wondering what to expect as a patient! Here are some suggestions to have the best experience while connecting with your provider.

  1. Accessing the Software: See instructions above about accessing Anywhere Healthcare’s HIPAA-compliant video conference platform.
  2. Hardware Needs:

You will need a computer, tablet, or mobile device to access the software. Your provider will let you know what is best for you to use to connect with the software.

Your device must have a microphone (either internal or external) so that you can communicate with your provider.

Your device must also have a camera (either internal or external) so that you can be seen by your provider during the visit.

  • 1. Internet connection/WiFi

Having a strong and solid internet connection is vital to having a positive telehealth experience. Some software performs well at a slow connection speed, but most do not. Ideally, your internet speed should be at least 15Mbps download and 5Mbps upload. Here is a link to check your speed!

If your speed is consistently slow, you may want to contact your internet provider and ask about getting faster service.

If your internet is not performing as it should, you may want to try a wired internet

connection. Using a cable connected directly to your router or modem can often be much faster.

Using your mobile device can also be a solution however, data plans and costs may limit usage.

For other ways to maximize your digital healthcare experience.

  1. Make yourself comfortable. Choose a location in which you can be most comfortable both physically and emotionally. You may be asked by your provider to move during your visit so make sure you have room to move! You want to be able to share information freely with your provider, so other people in the room may not provide enough privacy. The more comfortable you are in your surroundings, the better the outcome of the visit will be.
  2. Wear comfortable clothes that allow for movement that can be seen over video. Having snug fitting clothes allows for your provider to assess how parts of your body move to determine the best intervention.
  3. Be safe. Please do not try to have a telehealth visit while driving or performing other activities that may cause harm.
  4. Location. Choose a location that is quiet and private without distractions. This is a healthcare appointment and distractions can make the appointment challenging for everyone. Removing distractions will allow you to focus fully on your learning and your healing.
  5. Choose a Consistent Location. Using the same space for every visit allows for your provider to know what equipment and furniture is available for treatment.
