4. Can you treat everything via virtual health?
You can expect to receive the same exceptional BIHC care throughout virtual health services as you would in our clinic. However, although many situations are served well by virtual health, not everything will be appropriate. Your therapist will absolutely inform you if they feel they will not be able to help you ~ they will direct you to whom else in your own community (another health care profession for example), or the type of referral you may need to receive from your GP to move you forward in your care.
Common treatments through virtual health include: self-mobilization, education, exercise retraining, active exercise, review & progression of home exercise programs, movement retraining.
