PAIN & INJURY TELEHEALTH CONSULTATIONS
‘CANT GET TO US…? LET US COME TO YOU…’
HELPING PATIENTS FROM ACROSS THE UK AND BEYOND, AND ALL FROM THE COMFORT OF THEIR OWN LIVING ROOM.
WHAT IS A TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENT?
A Telehealth Appointment (Online Virtual Video Consultation) is the same as any regular clinical appointment. The only difference is that you will see and speak to your Chiropractor or Podiatrist via a video conference call. If you have ever used Skype or FaceTime, then you’ll already be familiar with how Telehealth works.
These web-based consultations give you the opportunity to speak with a qualified Chiropractor or Podiatrist without having to attend either of our clinics, ensuring you get the right advice and support you need to help facilitate your recovery. Most consultations can take place via our secure platform called PhysiApp. Alternatively, we can accomodate appointments via Apple Facetime, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, or Skype.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A TELEHEALTH CONSULTATION
CLINICAL AND PAST-MEDICAL HISTORY
We take all patients through a thorough clinical and past-medical history, in order to help us make a diagnosis, and guide patient management.
CLINICAL EXAMINATION
We take all patients through a thorough clinical and past-medical history, in order to help us make a diagnosis, and guide patient management.
This includes a full and thorough:
- Orthopaedic Examination
- Neurologic Examination
- Postural Examination
- Gait Examination
If additional tests are indicated, an onward referral can be arranged.
DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSIS, AND PROPOSED TREATMENT
We’ll let you know:
A Diagnosis of your complaint: What it is and what’s causing it…
A Prognosis of your case: How it’s expected to progress / develop, or, how long it will take to get better…
An explanation of the Proposed Treatment (should we deem ourselves suitable for the management of your complaint). This will inform you of: What we can do to help.What you’ll be able to do, in order to help yourself. What results you can expect.The rate at which you can expect these results.
Of course, virtual appointments do not allow for all aspects of examination: Sometimes further physical examination, special tests such as blood tests, and investigative imaging such as an X-ray, may need to be carried out by a qualified healthcare professional. However, this can be discussed in full during your Telehealth Appointment (Online Virtual Video Consultation), and onward referral can be arranged.

PATIENT EDUCATION AND SELF-CARE
A major part of long term recovery from pain or injury is the development of a patient’s knowledge and understanding around their complaint, and how they should go about managing it. Through telehealth education, we help patients to become more independent, autonomous, and self-sufficient, reducing the need for them to consult with a clinician or therapist.
Prior to the Telehealth consultation you will be asked to download our rehabilitation application, Physiapp telerehabilitation for free from the Google Play store or the Apple store.
- At the scheduled time of your appointment, your Chiropractor or Podiatrist will start the video call.
- You will receive an email invitation to join the call.
- To accept the call, you will be need to login in to PhysiApp.
WHY CHOOSE A TELEHEALTH CONSULTATION?

WHO IS A TELEHEALTH CONSULTATION FOR?
If you are unable to attend the clinic for your appointment you may be suitable for a Telehealth Appointment (Online Virtual Video Consultation). We highly recommend a Telehealth Appointment if:
- You are self-isolating or social-distancing due to the Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic. A Telehealth Appointment (Online Virtual Video Consultation) will allow you to access expert clinical care from the safety of your own home. Furthermore, you will not be adding further strain to an already struggling National Health Service (NHS).
- You suffer with a physical disability / impairment that would make it difficult for you to attend one of our clinics in person. If this is the case, then we can bring the clinic to you.
- You don’t live in a geographic location that is close to either of our clinics. Thankfully, no distance is too far with a Telehealth Appointment (Online Virtual Video Consultation).
It’s our pleasure to look after a range of patients from the local areas of Henley in Arden, Stratford Upon Avon, Warwick, Solihull, Redditch, Leamington Spa, Birmingham, Wootton Wawen, Claverdon, Knowle, Dorridge, Shirley, Hatton, Lapworth, and Hockey Heath etc. We are also proud to attract professional sports men and women / athletes, and likewise patients with more chronic and complex problems from a host of major cities, further afield throughout the UK: Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Portmouth, Cambridge, Bournemouth, Oxford, London etc.
