FAQ
-
What happens after my tele-rehab appointment?That depends on a number of factors including your injury, assessment findings, and your goals. In most cases, you will be provided with education and exercises (using Physitrack) to manage your injury. From there, we will stay in contact using email and/or Physiapp for up to 4 weeks after your appointment. After that, if you'd like to continue with your tele-rehab treatment, it's best to book a 30 minute follow-up appointment for a reassessment. In some cases, a follow up appointment will be advised earlier than 4 weeks.
