Clients receive an access code that allows them to login and view their tailored exercise plan. Clients can directly message us through the app with any questions relating to the exercise.
PhysiApp contains crystal clear and professionally narrated videos that detail how to perform the exercises correctly. Users can also opt in to notifications to remind them when it’s time to do their prescribed exercises.
IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation) is a technique that Physiotherapists use to release muscles that are causing chronic musculoskeletal or neuropathic pain. Before proceeding with IMS treatment on a client we will examine their unique needs and decide if IMS treatment is appropriate for their injury.

Virtual Physiotherapy
Through TelePhysio, we can assess your symptoms, observe how you move and diagnose your problem. It’s also perfect for providing advice and exercise prescription that can decrease or entirely eliminate your symptoms. In the unlikely event you continue to feel pain, we can arrange an in-person visit with one of our Physiotherapists where a 30-minute follow up is used for hands-on manual therapy. As we have already diagnosed your issue and provided education in symptom management, these 30 minutes are maximized toward the hands-on manual therapy that will usually fix the problem.
Our first appointment is an opportunity for you to describe the issue you’re having and for us to discover the most effective way to help you recover. Please wear loose fitting, comfortable gym-type clothing and complete our intake form in advance. Once you’re settled in, we will carry out a video assessment and discuss the issues you’ve been having. We will then proceed to a tailored treatment plan that is unique to your needs.
Though it’s a relatively new field in Physiotherapy, extensive research has already been conducted into TelePhysio. The results have been extremely positive! It’s proven to be just as effective as an in-person assessment, with the Physio’s experience and eye for physical cues allowing them to accurately assess the patient in the vast majority of cases. We’re firm believers in the potential of TelePhysio to reach and help more clients than traditional physiotherapy.
