What Is Virtual Physiotherapy?
Virtual physiotherapy is a physiotherapy consultation conducted via video call. Dr. Maitri Kothari assesses your condition through visual inspection, asks detailed questions, observes your movement patterns on screen, and prescribes a personalised exercise programme. Follow-up sessions monitor progress and progress the programme.
What Virtual Physiotherapy Does Effectively
| Effective Virtually | Requires In-Person |
|---|---|
| Exercise prescription and demonstration | Manual therapy (mobilisation, soft tissue) |
| Postural assessment | Hands-on assessment of joint mobility |
| Movement analysis | Electrotherapy (ultrasound, IFT, TENS) |
| Pain education and self-management | Dry needling |
| Ergonomic advice (home environment visible) | Initial complex diagnostic assessment |
| Follow-up and progress monitoring | Post-surgical early phase management |
📊 A 2020 systematic review in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that telehealth physiotherapy produced outcomes equivalent to in-person care for musculoskeletal conditions where manual therapy was not required.
