COVID-19 and Telehealth solutions for chronic pain

With COVID-19 and the uncertainty it brings, lots of businesses are moving to Telehealth services to increase social distancing.

This is something that the group at Form Physiotherapy are well versed in! Having completed a 100 sample clinical trial of their Recovery Coach Telehealth program last year.

Lorimer Moseley’s pain group, Body in Mind, partnered with Form Physiotherapy and an Australian insurer to complete the trial and the early data is very promising.

Participants reduced their chronic pain by 20% and improved their function (measured by a patient specific functional scale/ PSFS) by a whopping 91% in the first 6 weeks.

As coronavirus continues to unfold, looking to novel and effective solutions to stay active is more important than ever.
