How to participate in telehealth services from Achieve PT.
Option 1. If you or a loved one have a smart phone, computer or other device with a camera on it you can easily participate in a face to face session with your therapist one on one.
( Just the same as a facetime activity). We only need an e-mail address to send you the invite. You will see an invite pop up on your screen at your designated time.
Hit accept and follow the simple instruction to allow connection with us.
Option 2. If you or a loved one do not have any of the above we can perform a brief over the phone catchup visit to answer any questions you have on your current status or progress with some tips on what you can do at home to keep things moving forward. We will only need you to call us at the scheduled time To initiate the session. (we can give you a reminder if you prefer)
