Commonly asked questions
1. Will my insurance pay for telehealth physiotherapy?
Most providers will pay for telehealth physiotherapy sessions. Contact them them directly to confirm if they will re-imburse you for telehealth sessions.

Common treatments through telehealth include: self mobilization, education, exercise retraining, active exercise, review & progression of home exercise programs, movement retraining, taping, ergonomic assessments and self treatments
