Telehealth Physiotherapy — When Video Works
Video physio exploded during 2020 and has settled into a real, useful place in modern MSK care — for the right cases. It is not a substitute for a proper hands-on first assessment, but for follow-ups, exercise reviews and out-of-area patients it's a genuinely better option than a long drive.
Where video genuinely works
Follow-up sessions reviewing progress, exercise technique correction, return-to-sport planning, post-op rehab check-ins where you can't travel yet, and out-of-area patients who can't realistically come to Kent for every appointment.
Where it doesn't
First assessments. Hands-on treatment. Anything where palpation actually changes the diagnosis. We won't pretend a video call replaces the value of a proper physical examination — and we'll never sell you something that doesn't fit.
How sessions run
Booked online, same platform as standard appointments. 30 or 45-minute slots. You'll need a phone or laptop with camera, space to demonstrate movements, and somewhere comfortable to set up.
- Lower fee than in-person
- Same clinician across video and in-person visits
- Easy to switch between modes as your case progresses
