Why Agile for Physical Therapy?

You might be surprised to know that virtual therapy works similarly to what you would experience with in-clinic therapy. In both cases, the patient meets with a licensed physical therapist to address aches, pains, injuries and chronic conditions, with the provider developing a treatment plan targeted specifically to that patient.

The difference with virtual therapy at Agile Virtual Care is that all of this takes place in your home with the use of technology. With either your computer or a mobile device, you’ll be connected to a provider who can watch you complete the exercises outlined in your treatment plan and discuss any of your concerns in real time.

Personalized Care Plans

Agile Virtual Care provides access to experienced, licensed physical therapists that create customized plans of care for your individual situation.  After evaluating your symptoms and mobility, our physical therapists will provide an at-home exercise plan. You’ll get access to exercise videos to help improve strength and mobility. And you can communicate with your therapist within the application, if you have questions about your treatment plan.

How our platform works

The licensed providers at Agile Virtual Care utilize the latest technological advancements in video communication to provide patients with evidence-based treatment — and the way it works couldn’t be easier. Simply download our app or click the appointment link provided to you when your appointment is scheduled, and you’ll be connected to your physical therapist.

What We Treat

Our most common patients include those whose lives have been hampered by pain in the neck, back, shoulder, hip, knee, foot, ankle and wrist. These patients often turn to us to address their limited functional ability, decreased strength and flexibility, and before or after surgery.

Victoria H, 67

Oakland, CA

Pain level at first visit:

7/10

Patient Complaint/condition:

Recent ACL rupture, attempting conservative treatment during shelter in place

PT Provider:

Dan Hirai, DPT, OCS

Treatment Plan:

1x/week, emphasis initially on swelling reduction, improving ROM, normalizing gait. Progressed to single leg functional strength and stability, dynamic movement patterns

Length of plan:

1x/week x 8 weeks

Result:

Patient able to return to all hiking, stairs, exercises, functional activities with no increase in symptoms

Patient Comments:

I suffered a bad knee injury just as the pandemic was closing in and I needed to start rehab while physical therapy services were mostly shuttered. My appointments were all done remotely. Three months later, I am done and my recovery is ahead of schedule. Perhaps some degree of effectiveness was lost by not having in-person appointments, but not much. I was as closely guided and monitored as possible. Best rehab experience I have had.

FAQs

Do I need a doctor’s referral or prescription for my virtual care visit?

Most states allow for direct access to physical therapy. As a courtesy, we will verify your insurance benefits and requirements for your specific state and plan.

How do I set up a virtual physical therapy session?

Request a virtual appointment for physical therapy at AgileVirtualCare.com. Indicate the time that’s convenient for you and how you’d like to be contacted. Next, we’ll send you an email confirming your request and ask that you complete the registration forms so we can learn more about your insurance coverage and what’s bothering you before treatment. You may also call us to schedule your visit.
Immediately before your virtual care session, you will receive an email from your clinician. Within the email, you will find a link to connect you to the active virtual care session. Once connected, remember to share your camera and audio.

How should I prepare for my virtual care visit?

● Prior to your session, your clinician will send you an introduction email with instructions and tips for your first session.
● Set up a comfortable, well-lit space for your session. Good lighting will ensure a quality picture.
● Make sure you’re in a private space with some room to move around. A clear open space will ensure you have free range of motion and that you make the most of your physical therapy session.
● Wear clothes that allow for easy movement without binding or constricting you.
● Make sure you have a stable internet connection.
● Keep your hands free. If you can find a comfortable stand for your phone or laptop or have something to prop it up against, it will free up your hands to take part in the physical therapy session.

Does my insurance cover virtual care appointments?

Laws governing virtual care reimbursement vary in each state. In our experience, most health plans have covered these services however, every insurance company is different. We offer free insurance verification prior to your appointment so you will be aware of any co-pay or deductibles.

What devices will work?

Virtual care video visits will work on most iOS and Android smartphones, tablets, and brands of computers. Just make sure any device you use is updated with the latest version of its operating system.

Can I pay direct?

Yes. An initial visit and assessment are $100 and follow-up visits are $70 per visit.

Can I use my FSA or HSA to pay for services?

You may use your Health Savings or FSA to pay for physical therapy visits. Please check with your FSA or HSA provider to find out if the Agile Stay Well subscription is an eligible expense.

Helene M, 68

Oakland, CA

Pain level at first visit:

6/10

Patient Complaint/condition:

Foot pain and difficulty walking following 5th met fracture

PT Provider:

Dan Hirai, DPT, OCS

Treatment Plan:

1x/week, emphasis initially on swelling reduction, improving ROM, normalizing gait. Progressed to single leg functional strength and stability, dynamic movement patterns

Length of plan:

1x/week x 8 weeks

Result:

Patient able to return to all hiking, stairs, exercises, functional activities with no increase in symptoms

Patient Comments:

After I broke my toe in March, I wasn't able to walk comfortably for more than a short distance. That was very frustrating, because hiking in the woods with my dog has been my primary activity for physical and mental health. Eight weeks after the fracture, I still hadn't seen much progress, so I met with a clinician at the Stanford Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Clinic in Emeryville who gave me an orthopedic boot to wear and also referred me to SOL. It's been very helpful to work with Dan Hirai via TeleHealth, especially during the pandemic, since I'm a senior and we're advised to stay home as much as possible. Dan created an exercise program I used at home; if I had questions, I was able to send Dan a message and always received a quick response. I worked with Dan for 8 weeks and now my toe is completely healed, and I'm not feeling any negative effects from having to wear the orthopedic boot. I'm now back to daily hikes, which makes both me and my dog very happy:-)

Pain level at first visit:

7/10

Patient Complaint/condition:

Post Op ACL reconstruction

PT Provider:

Dan Hirai, DPT, OCS

Treatment Plan:

1-2x/week, emphasis on return to sport/dynamic activities

Length of plan:

10 weeks

Result:

Patient able to return to all hiking, stairs, exercises, functional activities with no increase in symptoms

Patient Comments:

I have been working with Dan to get back into shape for pick-up basketball after an ACL reconstruction surgery, and have been greatly impressed with his knowledge, passion, and positive demeanor even as we have moved to a telehealth experience with virtual PT sessions. Dan is an incredibly engaging therapist, and really develops a workout plan that is customized to my personal goals and progress. He didn't miss a beat when switching to the telehealth experience during Covid, being very flexible to my changing schedule and limited home workout space. His guidance has allowed me to maximize the work I can accomplish in my home, and continue my weekly progression towards getting my knee back into form while correcting some habits that may have led to my injury in the first place. I'd highly recommend Dan and the team for anyone looking into remote therapy options.
