Virtual physical therapy (PT) platforms are popping up everywhere right now. One reason is that it’s harder for people to leave home during the COVID-19 pandemic, and virtual PT platforms can help you access the physical therapy you need.
Virtual PT is a technology-based service, and it’s typically accessed through an app or a website. Sessions are typically done through a secure video link. Choosing the right virtual PT platform can make a significant difference when it comes to treating pain. Even better, a top-notch virtual physical therapy platform can offer benefits that go beyond pain reduction.
Three of the benefits you can get from a top-notch virtual physical therapy platform
The desire to reduce pain is a common benefit that people expect from their virtual physical therapy platform, and it’s one that top-notch platforms can deliver. For instance, Agile Virtual Care (AVC) offers a virtual PT platform that can help reduce pain. In fact, a study reports that 93% of the patients who used this platform experienced decreased pain afterward.
Other benefits that this virtual PT platform can offer include:
- Lower costs — Per-session cost is a huge factor for many Americans. After all, many people are living on less money right now. Fortunately, AVC reports that its patients had a 47% cost savings for their entire physical therapy process.
- Less time waiting for an appointment — It can often take a while to get an in-person appointment with a medical professional. One 2013 study reveals that it can take an average of 10 days to get in to see a physical therapist. Doing virtual PT with AVC can help reduce your wait time for an appointment — statistics show that the AVC platform allows for 60% faster appointment scheduling than in-person sessions.
- Fewer PT sessions total — Getting better results in fewer sessions is another benefit that you can get from virtual PT. AVC’s platform allows you to work with the same physical therapist every time. This could be part of the reason why its users tend to require 32% fewer sessions in total.
