Online Consultations

Not all physiotherapy requires hands-on treatment. Assessment, diagnosis, exercise prescription, rehabilitation programme design, and clinical oversight of a recovery can all be delivered effectively through a video consultation for the right patient and condition. Ed Voss Physio offers online physiotherapy consultations for patients who cannot attend the Stroud clinic or prefer the convenience of remote consultation.

Online consultations follow the same clinical structure as in-person appointments. Ed takes a detailed history, observes movement and posture through the camera, applies specific movement tests and functional assessments, and develops a treatment plan the patient can implement at home.

Conditions suited to online consultation include exercise-based rehabilitation programmes that do not require manual therapy, running injury assessment and gait advice, return-to-sport planning, second opinions on existing diagnoses, and management of chronic conditions between in-person appointments. Ed is transparent about which presentations are suitable for online management and which require in-person attendance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Online Consultations5

Yes. Ed Voss Physio offers online physiotherapy consultations via video for patients who cannot attend the Stroud clinic or prefer remote consultation for appropriate conditions. Online consultations follow the same clinical structure as in-person appointments. Ed advises upfront whether online management is appropriate for the specific condition, and some presentations require in-person assessment.

Online physiotherapy is well suited to exercise-based rehabilitation that does not require manual therapy, running injury assessment and gait advice, return-to-sport planning, second opinions on existing diagnoses, management of chronic conditions between in-person appointments, and post-operative rehabilitation oversight after the early hands-on phase is complete. Conditions requiring palpation or manual therapy for diagnosis or treatment are better managed in person.

For the right conditions, online physiotherapy can be as effective as in-person treatment. The evidence for telehealth physiotherapy shows good outcomes for exercise-based programmes, rehabilitation oversight, and management of chronic conditions. The limitations are in conditions where hands-on assessment is needed for diagnosis or where manual therapy is central to the treatment. Ed Voss is honest about which presentations are suited to online management.

Yes. Ed Voss Physio offers online physiotherapy consultations for patients outside the Stroud area. Patients from Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and further afield access online consultations for appropriate conditions. For presentations requiring Stimpod NMS460 therapy, in-person attendance at the Stroud clinic is required.
