Telehealth Physical Therapy is just like traditional physical therapy, except it is provided over a secure video platform, rather than in person. You get the same high-quality care, but from the comfort of your own home. During your one-on-one video appointment, we will talk about your current problem(s), I will ask you to do a few simple movements to help me assess your problem, and then I'll create an individualized program of exercises and strategies tailored just for you.

This is a common concern, but no worries :) Most problems can be taken care of easily via telehealth. The keys to an effective PT experience are a detailed discussion and evaluation to discover the core cause(s) of the problem, customized education to help you learn why it's happening, and individualized exercises to address these findings. Telehealth physical therapy lends itself well to all. However, if at any time I feel your problem requires hands-on treatment, I will let you know immediately and will help you find a qualified PT in your area to see in person.

All you need is an email address, an internet connection, and a device with a microphone and camera that connects to the internet (e.g., smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer). It's that simple!

Nope! IL, CA, CO and FL are all "direct access" states for physical therapy. This means that you do not need a prescription or referral to begin care with me. One less hurdle for you to clear on your path to getting better!

While this can vary, depending on the severity and complexity of your problem(s), most patients meet their goals within 5 visits, spread out over 6-8 weeks. Book a free consultation and I can give you my specific recommendations for you and your situation.

Each appointment is a full hour, except for our free 15-minute consultation.

Yes! I use a service called thera-LINK to provide secure, HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing, so you can be assured your treatment is private. In fact, your telehealth treatment is potentially more private than in-person treatment, as there will be no other clients present like there would be in a busy outpatient clinic.

You can expect to get answers! The goal of our first appointment is to get laser-focused on what your musculoskeletal problems/challenges are and to come up with an effective plan to address them, together. 1. I will be asking you detailed questions to fully understand your symptoms and uncover their potential causes. 2. I will ask you to do some simple movements so I can assess things such as your strength, range of motion, balance, and movement patterns. 3. I will teach you tailor-made exercises and strategies to do at home to get you started on feeling better!

Please wear comfortable clothing which allows you to move freely. And rest assured that despite this being pelvic physical therapy, you will remain fully dressed at all times.

You can find the cost of each telehealth Physical Therapy service at the link below: Our free 15-minute consultation is just that: FREE!

I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO of Illinois. I am not contracted with any other private insurance or with Medicare. However, I am happy to supply you with an itemized bill for each session to submit to your insurance if you have out-of-network benefits and would like to pursue reimbursement. Using an FSA (flexible spending account) or HSA (health savings account) to pay is also a great way to help make physical therapy more affordable. Finally, you can save money by purchasing a package of visits up front. You can save $100 by purchasing a package of 5 visits💰

You can conveniently pay for your session by credit card when you log in at our appointment time.

Physical therapists must be licensed in the states in which their patients are located, and currently I am able to provide telehealth PT in the states of IL, CA, CO and FL. This means that in order for me to treat you, you must physically be in one of these states. If you do not currently live in IL, CA, CO or FL, please sign up here to join my email list to be the first to know when a new state is added, and to receive up-to-date articles, exercises, and other tips and tricks to help you achieve and maintain a healthy and happy bladder, core, and pelvic floor.

Not necessarily. Pelvic physical therapy is the first-line treatment for many bladder problems, such as: ~losing urine when you cough, sneeze or exercise ~rushing to get to the bathroom in time ~going to the bathroom often, "just in case" ~having to empty your bladder more often than every 2-4 hours If you have any of the above complaints, you can start physical therapy right away! However, if you are experiencing bladder pain, or if you have symptoms consistent with a urinary tract infection (such as urinary frequency, painful or burning urination, cloudy urine or bladder pain), be sure to consult with your physician first. She or he will be able to discuss with you whether pelvic physical therapy is right for you. Still not sure? Sign up for a free consultation and we will make sure you get the right care!

thera-LINK is the HIPAA-compliant online platform that I use to allow us to connect via secure video for our physical therapy sessions.

Absolutely! I am first and foremost a physical therapist, trained to treat any musculoskeletal problem or complaint you may be having. In addition, I have the specialized training needed to treat pelvic health problems.
