What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy uses evidence-based exercise, manual therapy principles, education, and movement analysis to restore and optimize physical function. While hands-on treatment has its place, research shows that exercise-based physiotherapy — which translates fully to online delivery — produces the best long-term outcomes for most musculoskeletal conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is online physiotherapy effective without hands-on treatment?

Research consistently shows that exercise-based physiotherapy — the dominant evidence-based approach — produces better long-term outcomes than passive manual treatments. Online physiotherapy delivers movement assessment, exercise prescription, technique coaching, and progressive loading: the interventions with the strongest evidence base. A 2020 systematic review found telerehabilitation equivalent to in-person physiotherapy for outcomes including pain, function, and patient satisfaction across musculoskeletal conditions. Hands-on manual therapy may complement exercise for some conditions, but it is not the foundation of effective physiotherapy.

How does my physiotherapist assess me through video?

Your physiotherapist uses video to observe your posture, gait, range of motion, functional movements (squats, step-ups, reaching), and exercise technique. They guide you through standardized movement screens and can identify compensatory patterns and movement faults clearly on video. They may ask you to perform specific tests (single-leg stance, deep squat, arm elevation) to assess strength and flexibility. Combined with a thorough symptom history, video assessment is sufficient to design an accurate, individualized rehabilitation program for most conditions.
