Containment
Your physiotherapist can treat you by telecare
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
A remote physical therapy session? It is now allowed for certain acts. With the lockdown being extended, there was a need to be able to provide more care to vulnerable people, such as the chronically ill, the elderly, patients undergoing rehabilitation.... While home care is always possible provided that the barrier measures are respected, telecare is open to massage therapists. An order to that effect was issued in Official Journal April 17, 2020.
Until May 11, 2020, a physical therapist can conduct a session remotely, that is, by video transmission using a secure site or application, via a computer, tablet or smartphone, equipped with a webcam and connected to the Internet.
To do this, a first treatment must have taken place in the patient's presence. For new patients, this care necessarily takes place at home during the lockdown period. Until age 18, the presence of one of the adult parents or an authorized adult is necessary. For patients with impaired independence, a caregiver is required.
Rehabilitation procedures can be done by
- a limb and its root, whatever the nature and location of the pathology treated;
- all or part of several limbs, or the trunk and one or more limbs;
- the spine and/or belts;
- a child or adolescent for lateral or sagittal deviation of the spine;
- patients suffering from inflammatory rheumatism;
- pre-operative or post-operative abdominal;
- abdominal, postpartum;
- maxillo-facial except facial paralysis;
- for lower extremity venous insufficiency with joint involvement and/or trophic disorders;
- for arterial disease of the lower limbs;
- hemiplegia;
- stable or progressive neurological conditions;
- respiratory, obstructive, restrictive, or mixed (non-emergency) diseases;
- localized damage to a limb or trunk;
- involvement of several limbs, or the trunk and one or more limbs.
These acts are covered by the health insurance.
Initial reviews and review renewals may not be carried out remotely.
