Clinical Skills Necessary To Succeed In Telehealth The world of online personal training has become more and more popular over the last 5 years.

Telehealth and the concept has increased in popularity but the number of people performing telehealth rehabilitation services is far lower than those who have successfully built an online training platform.

With the recent pandemic of COVID 19 it has forced a lot of people to get comfortable doing telehealth whether they like it or not. There has been positives and negatives to this whole transition. But many clinicians continue to tell me that they still feel less effective treating clients or working with clients online as compared to in person.

It takes time to really build any sustainable revenue source from online. The goal of this post is not to go into the business and logistical side of being online. We all know it could be another source of revenue. Right now its being introduced as a stop gap, but you could definitely transition to where it was a sustainable part of your business.

I have been telling people for years now, that if you are a Physical Therapist you also need to be personal training people or keep people on a wellness program after this is done. Your clinic should be set up for this 100%. But you could also offer a remote training program design for people as well after they are discharged from therapy.

Conversely, I feel personal trainers should take full advantage of learning rehabilitation. They deal with people who have aches and pains just as much as I do. Many educated and driven personal trainers are more qualified to get results with people who are in pain than a physical therapist. Be "To good, that they can't ignore you" is a 100% true statement. You can get away with a lot of poor marketing by being really good at what you do! Doesn't mean you shouldn't learn marketing and sales. But you first need to be good at your craft!

So to get better at your craft online, I created a couple videos to help you consider some key factors to be successful with telehealth or any online/remote training programs! If you don't plan on doing any telehealth or online training with clients, I still feel like these videos pertain to you too! An with all the downtime that this pandemic has created it is a good time to self reflect on how you currently practice. What you do well, what could improve, and how you make use of time in the clinic.
