    When getting here isn't practical

    Virtual Assessment

    A remote appointment for assessment, a progress check-in or guided rehabilitation — useful when travelling, between hands-on sessions, or when getting to the clinic isn't practical.

    Overview

    The session runs by video call. You will be asked to move through a few positions on camera so Saarah can see how you move and what is holding you back.

    It covers three kinds of appointment: a first assessment where hands-on treatment is not the priority, a check-in on how a plan is going, or a guided rehabilitation session with your exercises corrected as you do them.

    You leave with the same thing you would leave the clinic with — an updated home programme, written down, rather than a conversation you have to remember.

    If you then require a hands-on assessment or treatment, you will be told this during the video call and we can arrange a face-to-face appointment.

    Good to know

    Medical considerations

    A few things to be aware of before booking. If in doubt, get in touch and we'll advise.

    • A virtual session cannot include hands-on treatment — this is confirmed when you book, because it is the main limit of the format.

    • You will need room to move and a device Saarah can see you on; a phone propped up is usually enough.

    • Where the assessment points to something needing hands-on work, you will be told that rather than worked around.

    • New or unexplained symptoms may be redirected to your GP, the same as they would be in the clinic.

    FAQs

    Questions, answered

    Is it as good as coming in?+

    For assessment, progress reviews and exercise correction it does the job. For anything needing hands-on treatment it does not, and the session will say so rather than substitute.

    What do I need for it?+

    A device with a camera, a reliable connection and enough floor space to move in. A phone propped against something is usually enough.

    Can it be my first appointment?+

    Yes. It is a reasonable way to start if you are not sure what you need or cannot get in yet, though a hands-on assessment will usually follow.

    Do I get exercises afterwards?+

    Yes — an updated home programme is sent after the session, the same as after an appointment in the clinic.

    What if I need treatment after all?+

    You will be told, and can book the appropriate appointment. The virtual session is not used to put off saying so.
