Elevation Physiotherapy & Wellness is your partner in physiotherapy care … from anywhere.
Our video Telehealth (“Skype-style”) Services were created for ANYONE who cannot make it to the clinic for physiotherapy.
Are you:
- A postpartum Mom who can’t easily get away for an appointment?
- A professional who is stuck at the office and can’t get away?
- Living in an area that does not have the services you need?
- Stuck at home after surgery and want to initiate or progress physiotherapy care?
- Not able to drive due to weather?
- Wanting one-to-one care with your Physiotherapist from your own home or office?
There are always circumstances where an in-person visit with your Physiotherapist is required, but research shows that video telehealth visits can address and treat MANY issues, with the same level of care, as an in-person physiotherapy appointment.

You Will Have Homework!
Evidence shows that people progress faster when they really understand their problem, and are given strategies to use frequently through their day. These strategies could be exercises to help remodel specific tissues, correction of your posture, discussion around supported sleeping positions, looking at how you walk– the list goes on.
We will reassess your condition with each visit, so that we can be responsive to the changes that are happening. This is all designed to get you back to where you want to be as quickly and efficiently as possible. Let’s get better, now!
