At QuistMD, we pride ourselves on providing high quality, individualized care, and we are taking many steps to keep our patients safe when they come to our office. We are also offering telehealth appointments as another way to evaluate new concerns and follow up on existing conditions. That said, for many people, telehealth is a new experience. Here’s what you can expect!
Continued one-on-one care with our providers
Easy link access to our secure and HIPAA compliant telehealth platform to connect for your visit
Thorough case review by our providers prior to your visit
Continued email contact for pre-visit updates you wish to share
Case dependent pre-visit correspondence on equipment, tools, and demonstrations that will assist us in tailoring your home care.
Promotion of movement demonstration and self-initiated home exercise
You can make the most of your telehealth visit by having a few items available, such as:
Foam roller, Hypervolt massage device, lacrosse/ tennis/ massage ball
Theraband and a place to loop it around (door jam or banister)
Dumbbells, kettlebells, or something weighted to hold onto (Cans, milk jugs, bag that you can add weight to)
Yoga ball/ physioball
Flat surface to exercise on- floor, bed, yoga mat, or gym mat
Additional activities or issues you would like examined? With telehealth, we can provide:
Treadmill running assessment
Stationary bicycle set up for proper use
Workstation ergonomics/posture
Gait Assessment

Gardening mechanics
Lastly, it can be helpful to have various props such as a table or chair to support your camera or computer so you can be seen in different positions, including:
Laying down on a flat surface
Standing with your full body in the picture
Any postures or activities that you would like examined
