Online Video Consultations
At RD physiotherapy, our physios have a wealth of experience in providing telephone and video physiotherapy assessments and advice to those with musculoskeletal conditions.
Skype, Zoom…
Video assessments can be done via Skype or Zoom – this means that your physiotherapist can provide a thorough assessment and go through your home exercise programme with you.
…or Phone
If you don’t have Skype, don’t worry – our physios can still provide an effective and thorough assessment over the phone. If any home exercises are needed, these can be sent out to you via email or in the post.
How does it work?
- An initial assessment will usually be a 40-minute appointment
- Your physio will ask you specific questions about your condition, and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have
- A diagnosis will be given, with advice about how best to manage your symptoms
- If a home exercise program is advised, this can be emailed to you after you assessment
- Follow up telephone or video assessments are offered – this will typically be a 30 minute
appointment following your initial assessment. Your physio will check your progress and make any changes to your treatment as needed

- Receive early treatment and management advice, including electronic access to an individualised exercise programme following assessment
