““Lake Washington Physical Therapy is excited to offer the ability now to Video Conference in between visits to our clinics or when the circumstances warrant in lieu of an “in-clinic” visit. This is a great option for the current COVID-19 outbreak but also works well as clients return to traveling.””
— Matt Sato, PT Owner Houghton

TeleHealth

What is it & Is it Appropriate for ME?

The Health Resources Services Administration defines telehealth as the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, public health and health administration. Technologies include videoconferencing, the internet, store-and-forward imaging, streaming media, and terrestrial and wireless communications.

A Video Conference with a Physical Therapist might be appropriate if:

  • You are traveling or will not be able to make your normally scheduled PT visits

  • Not sure if you need to come in for a PT to evaluate you

  • Don’t want to bring kids or an infant into the clinical setting

  • Have you had a fever or chills in the last 72 hours?

  • You have insurance limitations for traditional visits

  • You are almost discharged but want to connect with your therapists for review or progression

  • If you have any shortness of breath due to seasonal flu or COVID-19 Type Symptoms

  • Have you been in contact with anyone with who has tested positive for COVID-19?
