How does it work?

- We guide you step by stepwith exercises and recommendations tailored to you.
Our protocol is designed to ensure that the online assessment is as accurate and useful as an in-person one.
Does it really work?
Yes.
Various studies have shown that, for many musculoskeletal tests,the online assessment provides results comparable to in-person assessments..
For example, a study published inPhysiotherapy Theory and Practice(2023) found that tests such as theTimed-Up-and-Go, theBerg Balance Scaleor the'toe-touch' flexibility testcan be reliably conducted via video call, with no significant differences compared to in-person assessment (see study).
Additionally, according to the report from Ascenti, patients report high levels of satisfaction and continuity when accessing virtual physiotherapy.
When is it recommended?
Online consultations are ideal if:
- You want initial guidance or a second opinion.
- You need follow-up on your exercise plan.
- You are travelling or unable to travel.
- You are looking to prevent relapses or improve your mobility from home.
In cases where manual contact or specific tests are required, we recommend an in-person session.
