Introduction:
Online physiotherapy consultations offer a flexible, convenient way to receive expert care.

Whether you’re dealing with an injury, recovering from surgery, or simply looking to improve mobility, online physio provides tailored treatment to meet your needs. In this post, we’ll cover how online consultations work, their benefits, and what to expect.
How Does Online Physiotherapy Work?
At Sports Physio Online, our unique online physiotherapy consultations are simple, effective, and tailored to meet your specific needs. Here’s how it works:
- Book Your Session: Choose a convenient time through our easy-to-use booking system. After which, you’ll complete an intelligent clinical questionairre which your Physiotherapist will review prior to consultation.
- Initial Consultation: During your first session, your Physiotherapist is already multiple steps ahead from standard care as they should already have a rough diagnosis based on your questionairre. They’ll ask further detailed questions about your symptoms, medical history and lifestyle. This comprehensive assessment ensures we understand your condition fully.
- Movement Evaluation: You’ll be guided through a series of movements via video to assess your mobility, strength, range of motion and anything else pertinent to your condition. Don’t worry—no special equipment is needed. Everyday household items or bodyweight exercises are often enough. If you want to complete this in a gym, thats ok too.
- Tailored Treatment Plan: Based on your assessment, your physiotherapist will develop a custom treatment plan. This includes but is not limited to exercise prescriptions, activity modifications, and lifestyle advice. We’ll provide detailed instructions, video demonstrations, and progress tracking to ensure you stay on course.
- Follow-Up and Support: You’ll have 2-weeks access to ongoing support through our online platform to ensure you stay motivated and confident in your recovery journey. This includes rehab program modifications, technique feedback, instant messaging with your Physiotherapist and more. If your condition is more complex, a follow-up consultation may also be booked.
