Virtual Physiotherapy

Virtual Physiotherapy in Burlington

Not everyone can make it to the clinic, but that doesn’t mean you should miss out on care. At Cogent Rehab Burlington, we provide virtual physiotherapy (tele-rehab), allowing you to connect with a licensed physiotherapist online from the comfort of your home. Whether your challenge is lack of transportation, long distance travel, work-related stress or caring for a loved one or travelling for work, our virtual care program ensures you never miss treatment help.

​

Home physiotherapy gives you the chance to receive evidence-based care without stepping outside. It supports recovery for injuries, post-surgical rehab, and ongoing management of chronic conditions, while fitting seamlessly into daily life.

What is Virtual Physiotherapy?

Also known as tele-rehabilitation or telehealth, virtual physiotherapy is an online consultation with a registered professional. Through a secure video platform, we:

​

  • Assess your movement and function

  • Discuss your symptoms, medical history, and goals

  • Prescribe tailored exercise programs

  • Provide education and self-management strategies

  • Monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed
