Medical Professional Information
How do we help our medical professional Partners?
As primary Health care providers Optimum Health & Performance would like to extend its support to you and your patients. Whether your patients are awaiting surgery, involved in a workplace accident, undergoing a chronic disease management plan or a private patient with any musculoskeletal injury, we would like to offer support in the form of symptom relief and management. This would be either in a face-to-face setting in one of our two clinics or through Telehealth (using a clinical virtual exercise and consult program).
Optimum Health & Performance would like to reassure our medical professional partners that we have put appropriate processes in place to continue providing support for your patients through the Coronavirus pandemic and beyond.
In the instance of quarantine/isolation and patients not being able to travel to one of our two clinics, we have set up Telehealth video consultations for our Physiotherapy services. By offering telehealth video consultations, we can improve access to care by providing patient-end clinical support to your patients.
Our Telehealth consultations were built with remote physical therapy and mental healthcare in mind, making it possible to engage around exercises, education, and outcome measures in a secure, healthcare-regulated environment.
Our Aim
Support your patients and provide them with relief and improved quality of life.
Improve load distribution through the body away from the injured or affected site.
Provide pain management.
