Yes. Only you should have access to your WhatsApp. Alternatively, only the person who has the invitation link can join the Zoom video call. There is also a ‘waiting room’ on the Zoom app, which means that nobody else can join the Zoom video call unless they are asked to enter!
Your appointment will start off with a chat. The Therapist will listen to your problems and symptoms and take a detailed history, just like a face-to-face session. You will then be asked to perform certain movements and perhaps some clinical tests with the Physiotherapist’s verbal instructions, such as testing your own strength. The therapist will then talk to you about your management, including your exercise programme and welcome any questions.
No. As long as your condition is musculoskeletal (symptoms which involve your muscles, joints, ligaments, nerves or spine), then your Therapist can take a detailed history and give you the most appropriate advice and education. If an exercise programme is relevant then this will be issued too.
If you have health insurance with:
- BUPA
- AXA PPP
- Vitality Health
- AVIVA

Yes. You will need WiFi or mobile data in order to complete the Zoom or WhatsApp video call. If you do not have access to the internet then a 10-minute complimentary triage appointment can be completed over the telephone, during which you can discuss options for Physiotherapy if needed.
Absolutely! You will be given an easy, step-by-step guide from your Therapist over your initial telephone call. Your Physiotherapist can also help you along during your virtual appointment.
We would suggest using Zoom or Skype if you have any communication needs as this will enable you and your Therapist to type to each other whilst also being able to see each other on the screen. For details of any further accessibility requirements, feel free to discuss this with your Therapist during your triage appointment or by contacting us. We will endeavour to make your appointment as fully accessible as we can.
