Altius offers its physical therapy services virtually through telehealth. Virtual medical care is becoming more and more common and PT’s are no exception.  All you need is a video-enabled phone, tablet or computer and you’re ready. 

PT is thought of as a hands on job – and it is! However, the goal of PT is to give you the tools and know-how to recover on your own. We emphasize this point in our telehealth model.  Here’s how it generally works –

1. On your first visit, we evaluate your condition.  We’ll guide you through functional movements, self tests, range of motion screens and talk through the nature of your pain. 
2. We build a plan to start addressing your condition.  We guide you through each exercise LIVE and ensure you are performing it properly
3. We follow up each visit with a home exercise plan, accompanied by videos and other materials to ensure you have all the information you need
4. Each successive visit builds on the previous visit. We gauge how you’re doing with the current program, changes in pain and other factors.  We add/modify the program as needed. Just as you would in the office.

While we can treat most conditions virtually, your successful recovery is the top priority. If at any point we feel virtual care is no longer an effective option, we’ll talk to you about alternative options.   

Flexibility is the key to a successful recovery.  We offer 2 models of telehealth:

Full Virtual PT

• All visits are done virtually, including the evaluation
• You’ll be sent any resistance bands you need for your program, free of charge
• You’ll be given access to a home exercise program with videos, sets, reps and education along the way

Hybrid PT

• Evaluations are done in-person at the office.  
• Plans are established after your assessment, including how we’ll utilize in person vs virtual visits
• Virtual visits focus on supervised exercise, new exercises and progressions.  
• In office visits are focused on effective hands on techniques, troubleshooting and more advanced exercise progressions.
