Remote Consultations
The health and safety of our patients at Rachel Disley Physiotherapy is paramount. Therefore, following government guidelines, all initial physiotherapy consultations are taking place via remote video consultation rather than the usual face to face physiotherapy in clinic. Video consultations are run by Zoom/Skype/Whats App depending on the patient preference.
From June 22nd, the clinic is open for face 2 face physiotherapy consultations along side ongoing virtual physiotherapy consultations. However, all patients will be triaged in their video consultations to ensure that they meet the criteria for face to face treatment if it is their preference (CSP Covid 19 Guidelines, June 4th).
Client’s reviews of video consultations include:
” I found the virtual consultation easy and accessible and the exercises provided were really helpful and easy to follow (the exercises were also emailed as a report with helpful explanations and visual aids on how to do the exercises). I would definitely recommend.” Manon J June 2020
“following our conversation this morning I have renewed heart and feel more confident to be active again” Sarah F April 2020
” to have physiotherapy treatment in my own home and practice the activities with Rachel’s feedback was a great help during lockdown” Jenny P May 2020
