Understanding Occupational Therapy Telehealth

Telehealth occupational therapy involves the delivery of occupational therapy services through online platforms such as secure video conferencing. This innovative approach allows individuals to connect with their occupational therapist remotely, eliminating the need for in-person appointments while ensuring continuity of care.

Flexibility: With telehealth, individuals can schedule therapy sessions at times that suit their schedule, promoting greater flexibility in managing their healthcare appointments.

Online Functional Capacity Assessments

Through telehealth, our occupational therapists can conduct comprehensive online functional capacity assessments, assessing factors such as mobility, strength, coordination, and cognitive abilities, ensuring accurate evaluation and tailored intervention plans.
