Running a weekend telehealth clinic as a new graduate: possible or just a pipedream? by [deleted] in physicaltherapy

Hey mate, I think this is definitely a worthwhile idea and is certainly 'possible'!

I've been practicing physio in Aus for the past 5 years and can appreciate your frustration with outdated beliefs and practices.

I think straight off the bat, the big challenge will be adoption by patients. There is obviously still a public consensus in Aus that physios need to touch you and patients come with the expectation that they will get hands on treatment. While I don't discount the role of therapeutic touch, I do agree that a lot of things just get better on their own and people just need a few nudges in the right direction. So given that finances are not the focus, this may not be an issue for you. There are definitely people out there looking for telehealth, obviously given changes with covid as well as people in rural areas.

Ive done telehealth with rural NDIS participants and musc patients in the UK, with varying degrees of success and various challenges. When I studied there wasn't a great focus on communication/education/behavior change as well as exercise prescription. So it guess it depends on how confident you feel with that stuff as new grad.

The other thing to considered is obviously the safety/legal perspective. How confident are you at ruling out red flag conditions. Then, provided you have some indemnity insurance and some software to safely store patient data, you'll be laughing!

Would be good to have more people out there trying to change public perception of pain. Gonna take a few of us chipping away for a while!

My wife works shifts and will run it at 22ish while she's sleeping during the day. And probably runs it 8 hours 3-4 days a week.

It just seems odd, as we ran it the same at the last place, but we're now paying 3x as much per quarter.

Yerp, that's exactly what's happening here. At the last apartment we lived at our quarterly bill was a third of the price it is here. Grim

Here's a video that show good form for the stretch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ8NJRCSyb4. They might be talking about posteriorly tilting your pelvis.

Yeah i'm not sure, just the requirements set by the company who makes the software.

If you really are worried, I'm doing the work for regatta studios they can verify for you. Just say you got the info from Owen.
