Melbourne physio Clinic’s Telehealth Expertise
At Melbourne Physio Clinic we have offered telehealth since our inception. Offering high quality Physiotherapy in Melbourne, means that we have people who travel great distances for management. This has resulted in the demand for telehealth and online Physiotherapy consultations.
Luke Pickett has been performing telehealth Physiotherapy and online Physiotherapy consultations since 2007. This all started with online consultations with some of Australia’s best athletes via Skype. With either Luke or the athlete being on the other side of the world and the athlete needing Physiotherapy management.
Having completed 10 years of Physiotherapy study along with over 20 years of Physiotherapy experience and 13 years of telehealth Physiotherapy, this is the highest level of quality for Physiotherapy available online – globally.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Even with complex patients, the diagnosis is almost always made within the subjective examination (the talking component of the examination, not the hands on).
This accurate diagnosis is the key to the rest of the examination as online Physiotherapy relies on these highly trained and practiced skills.
The effectiveness of self-management strategies and rehabilitation guided online is very high. As patients from Melbourne Physio Clinic will attest to, we obtain results that others cannot.
This is due to applying rehabilitation principles at the highest level. Analysing exactly where a patient’s condition is on the rehabilitation path then executing specific exercise techniques to optimise recovery and prevent the risk of regression or re-injury.

Melbourne Physio Clinic have over a decade of experience working with the highest level of Physiotherapy knowledge. With more than ten years of study, almost two decades of Physiotherapy experience and over a decade of telehealth and online physiotherapy experience, we know how to help you achieve the results you’re after.

initial Consultation Details
The consultation takes 40 minutes during the initial assessment and then 30 minutes for the reviews.
The Initial consultation will establish your diagnosis and educate you on the diagnosis, along with an explanation of how the injury or pain occurred. The fundamental injury management will then be commenced with the primary stage of your rehabilitation provided in this first session.
Review Consultation Details
In your first review consultation, your understanding of the injury (pathology) and your management will be refined. There are always finer details to be clarified!
Your individualised rehabilitation program will then be explained and stage two of your rehabilitation program will be implemented.
For each consequent review consultation, your progress will be assessed at the start of the session through verbal communication. Your exercises will be reviewed and then the next step of progressed rehabilitation will be implemented.
All of our patients are surprised by the quick progress when they implement their rehabilitation program. The key is to follow the exact advice and program provided and rehabilitation will be a breeze!
