What is TeleHealth and what do appointments look like?

Bridgetown is now offering Telehealth appointment which allow you to video conference with your physical therapist when you are unable to make it into the clinic for an appointment. This appointment and video conference are completed over a platform called Doxy.me which is a HIPAA compliant telehealth program.

During these appointments, one of our Physical Therapists will be able to conduct an evaluation to determine if you are appropriate for physical therapy and rule out any emergent or referral to other healthcare providers. We also are able to complete follow up appointments with established patients where we can check in on progress with plan of care, review home program, correct any errors with exercise, and modify treatment as needed if symptoms are improving or worsening. We also are available to progress you through your plan of care while answering any questions you may have about your condition or address any concerns in your progress.

Why should you sign up for TeleHealth Physical Therapy? 

These sessions are ideal for individuals who are unable to make it to their appointment due to illness or avoidance of a widespread pandemic. It is an efficient way to see a healthcare provider who can screen for necessity of further care or referral to a hospital or medical doctor. This is a cost-effective method to receive care in a time when resources may be limited within the healthcare system.
