Over-the-phone consultations can be very effective, especially with early intervention for the physiotherapist to screen worker injuries and therefore enable an appropriate initial management plan and advice to be provided. A concise history and evaluation of verbal symptoms provide valuable information regarding the worker’s condition. We are also able to offer telehealth-based consultations enabling the ability to complete a video consultation. This can provide additional benefits of the therapist being able to visualise appropriate tests and movement patterns.
