FAQs
How can Physical Therapy services be delivered through telehealth?
The majority of the information needed for a physical therapist to diagnose and develop a plan of care can be done without physically touching a patient. A thorough subjective assessment discussing your general medical history and history regarding your injury or reason for attending PT will comprise a significant portion of the assessment. This will then guide a physical assessment, in which your PT will instruct you how to perform certain movements to determine your impairments and functional limitations. Your therapist will likely observe your range of motion, components of strength, functional movement and assess your pain throughout.
How do I make an appointment?
You can schedule an appointment by calling our front desk at 423-648-4490 or emailing us at chattanoogaphysicaltherapy@gmail.com.
What do I need for my appointment?
All you need for a session is either Firefox or Google Chrome browser with good internet connection, a web camera, and a microphone (Don't worry, most laptops, tablets and other devices already have this equipment built in). Nothing is downloaded onto your device. Please make sure you set up your telehealth appointment somewhere in your home with enough space to allow you to move around.
