  • Be prepared to answer questions regarding the nature and extent of your problem. This could also include questions about pre-existing conditions, allergies and phobias.
  • Bring your best attitude! A lot of physical therapy is about having the drive to do the work. It is quite likely that your therapy will start at your first appointment, so be prepared to jump right in.

If you are recovering from an accident or other reason for hospitalization, your therapist will encourage you to reach a point in your occupational rehabilitation where you can begin to make visits to the Healthfx Physiotherapy clinic.

While the advantages of in-home virtual therapy are many, there are disadvantages as well in the form of limitations to the type of therapy you could be receiving.
