What is telehealth and how can it help?
Telehealth is a service provided by osteopaths and physiotherapists which allows the delivery of a full MSK assessment, diagnosis and exercise plan delivered via video call. There are an array of benefits to telehealth. These include;

- Overcome geographical challenges The possibilities are endless in regards to what telehealth allows in terms of location. Whether you're in a small local village with crippling waiting times for healthcare, or you're 1000 miles away wanting to talk to one of our MSK experts. West-Gate is now accessible.
- Remote monitoring and advice Telehealth can also be used between hospital visits, post surgery or mid rehab plan, allowing individuals to gain expert advice to guide them through the process of recovery.
- Technology Smooth, efficient video calling without any hassle or waiting times. Laptop or mobile options mean individuals and practitioners can move around rooms to perform movements, exercises or to illustrate painful areas.
- Early diagnosis It's no secret that the speed and efficiency of diagnosis immediately after an injury are absolutely crucial if recovery is to be optimised.
