When the COVID-19 pandemic caused numerous healthcare facilities to shut down, we as medical professionals worked diligently trying to serve our patients in the best ways possible without risking the spread of this disease.
Because of this, telehealth services became a great option for us at that time. By providing care for our patients virtually, as opposed to in person, we are able to keep both our patients and PT providers safe. We continue to offer this valuable service to any patients that are in need of it.

What is telehealth?
You may be wondering what exactly telehealth is. Essentially, it is a way for us to make sure that our patients are still receiving the highest possible quality of care they need from a remote location.
Telehealth services can be accessed via your smartphone or computer, and you will be able to perform your PT treatments from the comfort of your own home during this quarantine. You will also be able to track your progress and see how you are improving throughout your treatments.
At Platinum Physical Therapy, our telehealth services offer live consultations where you can meet and chat with your physical therapist about your treatment plan.
There are numerous conditions that can still be treated and improved via telehealth services, including, but not limited to:
- Arthritis pain
- Back pain
- Headaches/migraines
- Post-surgical rehab
- Respiratory issues
- Sports medicine/athletic training
- Fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s Disease, and other chronic conditions
- Injury rehab
- And much more
In addition to allowing for the practice of social distancing, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, telehealth also has other benefits for patients. As stated by the American Physical Therapy Association, just a few of these include:
- Patients typically in clinical or hospital settings could be managed from their homes
- Quicker screening, assessment, and referrals can improve care coordination within collaborative delivery models such as accountable care organizations or patient-centered medical homes
- Telehealth can facilitate consultation between providers or in clinical education
Begin telehealth services today
At Platinum Physical Therapy, we want you to know that we are here for you. We genuinely care about the health of each and every one of our patients, which is why we believe telehealth services are a great option for the time being.
We still want to be able to serve our patients in the best ways possible. We want you to be able to continue your personalized PT plans, so you do not lose all the progress you’ve made. If any injury or discomfort occurs, we want you to be able to receive the care you need.
While we recommend in-session physical therapy when possible, there are cases where individuals travel consistently for other obligations or do not live locally. After an in-person initial evaluation, follow-up sessions can be completed with a licensed physical therapist online to help you get the care you need on a more regular basis than your schedule may allow for. Telehealth visits include a 40-minute appointment slot with your physical therapist using video chatting and email correspondence for providing exercise recommendations. We recommend an in-person check-in every 4-6 weeks to track progress.
- Telehealth appointments $90 (May be covered by your insurance)
