At Recharged Performance Therapy, we always strive to offer services that meet our clients where they are. That is why we have always offered in-home sessions as well as Virtual Visits since opening. But what are Virtual Visits, and why should you be using them?
In this blog, we are going to go over the top 5 questions about Virtual Visits and why you should be utilizing them for all of your healthcare needs (including PT).
Top 5 things you should know about Virtual Visits:
What Are Virtual Visits?
Virtual Visits are where you get on a video chat platform, like Zoom or FaceTime, in order to help you heal and recharge your body! You would connect with Dr. Paige via a link sent to your email at the time of your visit. From there- you will discuss your current goals and complaints and Dr. Paige will lead you through a series of movements and exercises to get you onto the path of recovery!
Can She Help Me If She Can’t Physically Touch Me?
This is an understandable question- I mean, it is PHYSICAL therapy, right? Good news is, Dr. Paige has been trained in several different techniques including Therapeutic Exercise and Total Motion Release. Both of these things don’t require any hands-on treatment to get you to your goals. Dr. Paige will also be utilizing education about the body and re-education on your common movement to help you get to your goals faster.
Do I Have To Be Tech Savvy To Access Virtual Visits?
Absolutely not! You just need a computer/tablet/smartphone with a camera, a good internet connection and the email link. After you have those things, all you have to do is click on the link and BAM! There Dr. Paige will be waiting to get you back to feeling like you again!
Will My Insurance Pay For This?
The current state of insurance changes by the day. As a company, we do not contract with any insurance carrier at this time. However, we do provide Super Bills (receipts) that you can send in to your insurance provider as a claim. Each insurance company has it’s own stance on Virtual Visits (they call them telehealth visits) so reimbursement cannot be guaranteed. If you have further questions- feel free to contact us so that we can help you on an individual basis!
Will I Need Sporting Equipment (dumbbells, resistance bands, treadmills)?
Nope! Dr. Paige will give you exercises and movements that will challenge you and help you reach your goals- without unnecessary equipment. Most goals can be reached through the utilization of body weight; in the instance that you need some resistance- most people have household items (i.e. a can of soup, a pitcher of water- with a lid, a textbook, their toddler) that will be sufficient for reaching their goals.
How Much Does A Virtual Visit Cost?
Due to the current societal situation- Recharged Performance Therapy is offering ONE FREE VIRTUAL VISIT to the public. That way you can give it a try and see if it really works for you and can help you reach your goals.
Virtual Visits, or Telehealth, are a great way to get the care that you deserve during this pandemic. Almost all healthcare providers are utilizing this method to serve their clients without putting them at risk of exposure. You can get medication from your physician for a sinus infection, speak with a specialist, or even see a PT from the comfort of your home. So don’t go without the medical care that you deserve because of fear of COVID-19. As a community, medical providers have stepped their games up utilizing technology to best serve you- our patients.
RPT has always, and will always, offer Virtual Visits for all of our clients. Contact us and sign up for your FREE VIRTUAL VISIT today!
