Online Injury Assessment Clinic
Many playing-related pain or movement problems can be managed with good physiotherapy. However, expertise can be hard to access. An online injury consult can be a very successful substitute for a face-to-face consultation and comes with advantages including easier accessibility, convenience and no need for face masks! Telehealth consults are also usually reimbursed by Australian health funds.
​
Telehealth consults run in a similar way to face to face consults and typically involve:​
-
Completion of a pre-consultation questionnaire and optionally, sending a video of your playing technique
-
A discussion of your individual problem and concerns, your general health, lifestyle and your aims/goals.
-
A modified physical examination - you will be guided through movement and strength assessment, self-palpation of the painful area and analysis of your playing technique where appropriate.
-
Interpretation of imaging findings, and order of imaging when necessary
-
An explanation of your problem
-
A recovery plan - including discussion of best-available research, self-exercises, stretches, technique modification, advice and education.
-
Follow up planning
