The freedom to receive diagnosis and advice from anywhere in the world
Research shows us that the key to coping with and effectively managing pain, injury, chronic condition or illness is to understand it. The first step on this journey is to receive an accurate diagnosis followed by an efficient management plan. A 2024 randomised trial found that 'Remotely delivered physiotherapy with support via phone, text and an app is as good as face-to-face physiotherapy for the management of musculoskeletal conditions.' HG Withers et al. 2024
