Is VIRTUAL physiotherapy treatment as good” as physiotherapy treatment in the clinic? VIRTUAL physiotherapy is a great choice for those clients that are self motivated, but want some individual professional physiotherapy direction. We want to help you find your PATH . Physiotherapists use many tools for both assessment and treatment. Assessment and treatment that is done in the clinic has the advantage of your physiotherapist being able to touch, feel and assess your responses to specific movement or tests. As a result, not all clients will be appropriate candidates for VIRTUAL physiotherapy, and some clients may have had better outcomes if they had attended in person with their physiotherapist.
