In light of the recent COVID-19 Pandemic, virtual physiotherapy sessions have become a preferred treatment solution for many of our clients living in the Thunder Bay and region looking for access to treatment.

Understandably, many individuals question the success rate and effectiveness of virtual care. An overwhelming amount of evidence proves that this form of treatment is as effective (in some cases better) as the kind of treatment offered in a clinical setting.

Virtual physiotherapy works remotely through secured video consultations and / or phone calls as the means through which sessions are administered in real-time to all patients looking to manage their current conditions. 

With virtual physiotherapy, your health concerns and well-being can be effectively maintained and upheld.

FAQs about Virtual Physiotherapy in Thunder Bay

After making an appointment with your dedicated physiotherapist, you will receive an email containing instructions on how to access the scheduled session. This email will also consist of a secured link that you can access using your computer, smartphone, or tablet. The link will lead you into a digital space that allows video and audio communication between you and your physiotherapist. Here, communication will be held as well as the physiotherapy session.

For over twenty five years, our treatment philosophy has always focused on early intervention and education to restore pain free movement as quickly and safely as possible. You can expect your physiotherapist to do the following:
