Telehealth - Self Treatment for the Upper Extremity
TeleHealth has been a great addition to physical therapy but it is our obligation to provide excellent clinical self-care through this new medium. Excellent clinical self-care via Telehealth requires you to have a thorough understanding of how to effectively instruct your patient on how to perform techniques they are able to do and that effectively address their dysfunction. This course was designed to give the clinician the knowledge and skills needed to treat their patients, through TeleHealth, in self-joint mobilizations, self-soft tissue mobilizations (instrument and non-instrument assisted) and retraining exercises. This class is focused on the upper extremity and will help you to be able to use TeleHealth and E-Visits to successfully treat at-home patients. Give your patients the excellent care they deserve via Telehealth. These techniques are also great for giving home exercise programs to your in-clinic patients!
