The COVID 19 pandemic pushed a large growth of online resource of apps, YouTube exercise channels, and websites offering advice available to utilise for home and inpatient therapy.
Whilst there are many therapists, both private and NHS, now utilising video services to provide assessments, therapy and advice as standard practice (referred to as TeleRehab) there are also more opportunities available to supplement this by using these online therapy resources.
