The COVID 19 pandemic resulted in a large growth of online resource of apps, YouTube exercise channels, and websites offering advice available to utilise for home and inpatient therapy.

While many therapists—both private and NHS—now use video services for assessments, therapy, and advice as part of standard practice (known as TeleRehab), there are also plenty of opportunities to enhance your rehab by using these online therapy resources.

We’ve put together a single link to the most commonly used resources for your convenience. If you’ve discovered other helpful tools not listed here, we’d love to hear about them so we can add them for everyone’s benefit. Most of the apps below are free to download, so why not give them a try and see which ones work best for you?”
