Is my injury suitable for treatment via the internet?

How can I be assessed without seeing me in person?
The majority of diagnoses are made through listening to the patient history. In most cases, a clinician can be almost certain of a patient diagnosis from listening to the history alone. The physical assessment may confirm this diagnosis and provide some baseline data.

During your assessment you may be asked to perform certain movements, just as you would in a practice, to aid diagnosis. You can also send photos or videos of injured body parts.

Can you guarantee full recovery?
No. As with face to face consultations, online consultations cannot guarantee full recovery.

Can I claim my appointment back through my health insurance?
