“Wait… how do you do physical therapy online?” 🤔
When I first started using telehealth to treat patients during the COVID shutdown, I noticed a pattern in the people who improved without ever coming into the clinic.
They were often people with a sport or exercise background, people managing chronic symptoms, and people who were fairly independent but needed support with consistency and follow-through.
The combination of detailed education, personalized exercise, encouragement, and accountability was exactly what they needed to make meaningful progress.
Then research started being published showing that telehealth PT outcomes for musculoskeletal conditions were comparable to in-person care for improving pain, function, and mobility, while also offering more convenience and potentially lower costs.
I opened Fortitude Physical Therapy and Wellness in 2021 to create a space where both my clients and I could thrive. Where I could stand firmly in my values and be the change I wish to see in healthcare. ⚡️
There will always be a time and place for in-person treatment, and I’m always happy to refer clients to local providers or massage therapists when hands-on care would be beneficial. But you might just be surprised by how much you can achieve without it...
If my philosophy resonates with you and you’ve been curious about online rehab or fitness coaching, I’d love to chat! You can schedule a free discovery call through the link in my bio or send me a DM to learn more. 💜
