Simply put, "Telehealth" for physical therapy (or "virtual physical therapy") is an alternative to in-person appointments with your PT during this time.

I'm grateful for the recommendation I got from someone else to go see Jessica for my overuse problem. I am an active person; I workout and play golf and pickleball. Her eval and the program she designed for me was spot on and after a month I feel great. Everyone was knowledgeable, professional, and I felt totally confident and Covid safe while there. I would highly recommend this practice and especially, Jessica. Great location, easy to get to and ample parking.

Report
I started physical therapy for a knee injury last spring. The staff are all friendly and efficient although they are busy and often working on two people simultaneously. I never felt rushed or ignored and found the therapists to be extremely knowledgeable, responsive to my needs/concerns, and well qualified. The therapy space consist of a large room with tables and some equipment around the edges with a large open space in the middle for walking and floor exercises. Down the hall is another room with physical fitness equipment used in therapy. Equipment and tables are frequently wiped down
