To properly treat you via Telehealth, it does require a few extra steps PRIOR to our visit.  Ideally, complete these steps the day before your visit or well before your visit the day of to allow time to trouble shoot any problems that may arise.  

1. Sign our Telehealth Consent Form AND Telehealth ABN/Non-Covered Services (you may not have to fill out this 2^nd form depending on your insurance – call to find out).  
   • Your provider will request you to share these documents through our video platform at the start of your session.  You will need them saved and able to access on the device you’re using (laptop is easiest). 
2. Determine what device you will use 
   • We recommend a laptop with a web cam with enough battery charge you can move it around the room, but you may use any Apple or Android tablet or mobile device. You will need to prop up any mobile device. 
3. Visit our Telehealth “waiting room” prior to your session to ensure you will have no technical difficulties:

   • https://doxy.me/drhalsteadpt
   • https://doxy.me/drhendryx
   • https://doxy.me/drmelmcnulty
   • Have at least two different web browsers available in case doxy.me is not supported in one of them (so far, it sometimes doesn’t work with Chrome on some mobile devices, but seems to work on Chrome on laptop/desktop). 
4. Arrange for NOBODY else in your home to be streaming during our session (this includes any videos, video games, etc.). It can greatly affect the video and audio quality of our call. 
5. Select an area in your home that will have ample space and any equipment you have available to perform guided self-massage and mobilization techniques in addition to exercise.  
   • Recommended equipment: foam roller, tennis/lacrosse ball, exercise/swiss/yoga ball, resistance bands, dumbbells, etc.
