The Aim of Video Consultations

The aim of our physiotherapy video consultations Is to get you back on the road to recovery. We empower our clients with the knowledge and exercises to bring about effective and positive change.

Our team here at compass physio have been using Physiotherapy video consultations for the past couple of years with a broad range of injuries.

We understand that often the main reason someone comes to see a physiotherapist is more than just about the pain that you are experiencing, it is about what the pain is preventing you from doing.

Physiotherapy treatment does not always require hands-on to make positive changes and improve your symptoms and thus make you feel better.

We set joint goals and a clear pathway with targets for each session so you can track your progress closely.

We are confident our Online physiotherapy consultations will help you achieve your goals

These days we put in an eircode and we have a step by step guide on how to get to the destination using technology

Online Physiotherapy Services For People with Long Term Pain

One of the clients that we work quite closely with on our Online Platform is people with chronic pain:

 

Often clients with chronic pain are fearful

-       They may have attended other therapist before and not had much success

-       They may have attended doctors and consultants and been offered a pain relief injections and surgeries without success

-       They may be self-conscious about their bodies and attending for treatment

-       Are often confused about where to turn next

-       Feel like giving up

 

The Goal is to put you in control of your symptoms and your recovery through clear advice and a plan that is designed for you and WITH you.

Yes, an online session can help you to get the same outcome and release your muscle tightness, only via a different way than you normally would. We can take you through a range of movements and create an exercise program that empowers you to be in control and feel great.

How can a physiotherapist treat me online?

You may be wondering how online physiotherapy consultations actually work, because the general perception of what a physiotherapist does is hands on manual therapy work with you, the patient, on the bed.

As Physiotherapists we still do hands on manual techniques but the expertise we have in assessing movement and proving corrections and rehabilitation achieve the majority of the outcomes we would achieve in a face to face session.

We can empower you to be pain free long term through our structured plans and have worked with clients throughout Ireland achieving this.
