They will be able to book an appointment online, in real-time, and these are generally available same day to swiftly help reduce suffering, concern and, in many cases promote a quicker recovery time.
Alex Bell, Managing Director at Back In Action UK, said: “We provide physiotherapy and related services to many corporate clients throughout the UK and work closely with many Occupational Health Companies and Physicians who refer to us for our specialist knowledge and services. We are committed to providing innovative and transformative services that are designed to meet our patient and client’s needs and we believe that this partnership will deliver real value.”
Katie Knapton, Founder of PhysioFast Online, said: “Leading research has found that video consultations are as effective as face-to-face appointments and our experience is that in many cases people can be triaged, assessed and supported online without any need for physical treatment. The service is accessible to anyone with a screen and an internet connection from the comfort of their home, workplace or even overseas.”
