How have physiotherapists adapted during COVID-19?

It was not easy at the start as we used to run a lot of exercise groups and face-to-face consultations. Under the COVID restrictions, the mode of service delivery changed with implementation of more tele-health, individual consultation and home visits. Our team has all been trained and has been coping well with the current situation.
