I've always wanted to innovate in physical therapy but I have no idea where to start! I want to learn to take the first steps in innovating in my professional practice and make my idea a reality!
I have done some (or none) video PT consultations but I am not comfortable with them. I want to learn how to improve my ability to provide effective video PT sessions for my patients.
I have heard of a few forms of digital technology and apps but I can't keep up! My patients ask me about apps they use for their recovery but I can't verify how legitimate or useful they are.
