VIDEO CONSULTATION AVAILABLE THROUGH
​FACETIME, SKYPE, AND PHYSIAPP.

Are you working from home, self-isolating, or practising social-distancing due to COVID-19? Fit As A Physio offers online physio consultations, available via PhysiApp, FaceTime, or Skype.

The most important parts of any physio appointment can easily be done via telemedicine: history taking, diagnosis, advising, supporting, educating, as well as exercise prescription design and modification.
​

The video consultation includes a thorough assessment of your injury, an accurate diagnosis, estimate of timeframe for recovery, and a management plan of the right exercises you need to do to help yourself.

Importantly this includes simple explanations, so you can understand:
  • What is it?
  • Is it serious?
  • Why have you got it?
  • Is it something you need to rest, or push through?
  • Can you keep training?
  • How long will it take to get better?
  • Have you done any permanent damage?
  • Are you doing something that's making it worse?
  • What do I need to do to get it better?​
Picture

Video consultations are available on your smart phone, tablet, or a browser on your laptop or desktop.

​Advantages:
  • Innovative, secure and easy to use.
  • In-call streaming of high quality content.
  • Seamlessly integrated with HD-video exercise and education library.
  • 3D anatomical images and videos.
  • Audio and video are encrypted.
  • Instant access to activity prescriptions and outcomes.

Video consultations are booked in 15 minute increments ($39), depending on how long you need.

VERTIGO

13/12/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common forms of vertigo, affecting 2% of the population at some point in our lives. 

BPPV is caused by a problem with the inner ear, where a small calcium deposit forms and moves with gravity around the different angled canals of the inner ear. BPPV is “positional” as it is triggered by specific head movements, for example, turning your head to the left with rolling over in bed. Symptoms of vertigo are room spinning, disturbed balance, and nausea.

BPPV typically resolves within a few weeks, but can be recurring.

Your GP can give you anti-nausea medication, and Physiotherapists treat BPPV with a sequence of movements and positions, called the Epley Manoeuvre, that uses gravity to re-position the calcium crystals.

A video of the Dix Hallpike test for BPPV is HERE.

Information on the Epley Manoeuvre is HERE.

A video of the Epley Manoeuvre is HERE.

Do you have vertigo? Book a physiotherapy appointment in Mosman to perform the Epley Manoeuvre HERE.
