Physios Online has been developed for two main reasons:
- To provide high quality Physiotherapy advice to individuals that may otherwise have missed out on such advice, for example individuals who live in a remote area, or lack time or financial resources to visit a Physiotherapist in person.
- To bring control and quality to the plethora of health information available on the Internet. The qualified and personalized advice supplied by Physios Online will be much more accurate and safe for individuals than if they attempted to self treat using information from questionable sources.
Karen Finnin, the creator of Physios Online, is an Australian Physiotherapist with a Masters in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. Over her 12 years working as a Physiotherapist, predominantly in Private Practice, Karen has seen a shift in the approach to injury management.
“More than ever, our emphasis in Physiotherapy is on accurate education regarding an injury, paired with a comprehensive rehabilitation program, which is often self administered under supervision”, Karen has noticed.
“Treatment modalities that lack adequate research evidence are falling out of favor, therefore education and exercise are more important tools than ever. This is great news for the explosion of Internet usage, as these tools lend themselves beautifully to being conveyed online.”
RURAL AND REMOTE
Karen has spent time working in rural and remote areas in Australia and South East Asia, and appreciates the need for remote access to high quality advice.
“Often an injury will not warrant an expensive and time consuming trip to an ‘in rooms’ Physiotherapist, however people in remote areas benefit greatly from personalized assessment by a Physiotherapist online. This can result in reassurance for the sufferer, and supply of a rehab program that is likely to hasten recovery.
CONVENIENCE
Even city based residents stand to benefit from Physios Online. There are many situations where internet savvy individuals will search for information for their injury online, rather than deal with the inconvenience of
- Taking time off work to attend a Physio appointment
- Finding a reputable Physio practice
- Finding and paying for car parking
- Paying high consult fees
At Physios Online, inconvenience is avoided, plus clients can receive much higher quality, and relevant information than they would otherwise find online.
Easily accessible quality injury management information online can assist with:
- Early intervention
- Avoidance of misdiagnosis
- Faster recovery
All of this results in reduced health care costs for both Individuals and the Government.
