Best Practices for a Good Online Consultation

  1. Make sure you have downloaded Zoom on your phone or computer. Check the Zoom website for help.
  2. Using a cell phone or laptop is preferred over a desktop computer as your physiotherapist may need you to move the camera to see the full body.
  3. Ask other members of your home to not be downloading or streaming to other digital devices so your connection will not be slowed down.
  4. Dress in comfortable clothing that you can easily move in.
  5. Settle kids in another room so they don’t distract you.
  6. Find a space that is clear about 3 feet around you; remove all rugs or furniture if possible.
  7. Have good lighting either with a tubelight, be near a window during the day, or other good overhead lighting.
  8. If possible, ask someone in the home to help hold the camera if directed by your physiotherapist.
  9. For any activities that may require balance, you may want to have a table, sofa or other heavy furniture for support that is at waist height.
  10. Find a space that is quiet.

 Take a deep breath and know you’re getting good care right in the comfort of your home!
