Teletherapy is the online delivery of therapy services via live video conferencing. Teletherapy sessions are very similar to traditional physical therapy sessions. Licensed Peak therapists use traditional therapy techniques and have the technology literally at their finger tips to plan and deliver high quality services. During therapy sessions, the patient can see, hear, and interact with one another in real time, using webcams and headsets. Most physical therapy patients are appropriate candidates for Teletherapy.
A teletherapy visit will be completely private and confidential and adheres to all hippa laws and regulations.
