Can’t Get In To See Us?
Don’t Worry…We Offer Telehealth Consultation!
These are very unprecedented times and we understand that there are many who still require an appointment. For those who are after advice, in pain and need help, telehealth may be right for you. We want to keep you on your feet, so our "telehealth" consultations are fully operational and up and running. If you would like an online consultation from the comfort of your own home during this period, please reach out and our friendly my FootDr team will help arrange an appointment.
Our telehealth consultations are fully integrated with an exercise prescription based app that allows us to show you simultaneous videos of exercises we want you to perform. The videos of these exercises will be emailed direct to you, so you have complete access at all times, along with required repetitions and numbers. These can easily be progressed and regressed accordingly. We also have access to a video library of strapping techniques we regularly use to manage your injuries. Our osteopath is also ready to help you remotely, as is our podiatry team.
There are both clinical and practical considerations when deciding whether telehealth consultations are appropriate for you. Our skilled practitioners can help you decide whether an online consultation will suit your clinical presentation. From a practical perspective, the availability of appropriate technology and any required support at home are also important considerations when deciding on whether this option is suitable for you. We look forward to working with you virtually and remain committed to looking after your healthcare needs.

Is it effective & safe?
Telehealth has been shown to be very effective for a range of conditions. During the consultation your practitioner can communicate directly with you clearly, as if you were in the same room. In most cases, they can perform an accurate assessment and help develop a holistic care management plan for you.
