PhysioFast Online lands on Boots UK site

Physiotherapist provider PhysioFast Online will now be offering its services through Boots

It says that around 80% of a normal physio appointment can be done with the physiotherapist entirely remotely.

During the online appointment, the physio will provide assessment, advice, reassurance and management for any musculoskeletal disorder, disease, injury or query. The complete package of care includes a personalised rehab programme with future management advice. The service complies with CQC guidelines and the NHS gold standards.

Customers will be able to access the service via a link on boots.com which will enable them to book a videocall appointment with a qualified physiotherapist. Appointments are generally available the same day.

Katie Knapton, Founder at Physiofastonline, says: “We are proud to be supporting Boots as they continue to lead the field with innovative and valuable online services.”

“Leading research has found that video consultations are as effective as face-to-face appointments and our experience is that three in four people can be triaged, assessed and supported online without any need for physical treatment. However, should this be necessary, we can organise this as part of our service.”
