Physical therapy is a vital healthcare profession dedicated to helping people of all ages improve their movement and overall function.
What is telehealth/ virtual physiotherapy?
Telehealth in physiotherapy, also known as virtual physiotherapy, allows you to receive physiotherapy treatment remotely via video calls, apps or online tools. It’s a convenient way to get professional care without needing to visit a clinic, especially if you’re busy or have mobility challenges.

Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?
In Trinidad and Tobago, you don’t always need a referral to see a physiotherapist. However, if you have health insurance, some plans may require a referral. It’s always a good idea to check with your insurance provider.
How do I know if virtual physiotherapy is right for me
Virtual physiotherapy is great for anyone who prefers the comfort of home, doesn’t have easy access to in-person services or needs flexibility in their treatment. It works well for conditions like back pain, joint issues, or post-surgery recovery.
Is virtual physiotherapy as effective as in-person visits?
Yes, studies have shown that telehealth physiotherapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions for many conditions. Through video calls, your physiotherapist can guide you step-by-step with exercises and provide personalized feedback.
What equipment do I need for virtual physiotherapy?
You only need a device with a camera (smartphone, tablet or computer) and a reliable internet connection. Your physiotherapist will guide you on any extra items you might need for exercises, like resistance bands, foam rollers or a yoga mat.
Can physiotherapy help with my chronic pain?
