Recent studies have revealed effective delivery of pelvic health physiotherapy via telehealth. Telehealth has been on the rise recently, predominantly utilised for those from rural and regional locations. It has allowed offering essential services for those who are unable to attend the clinic face to face and has been successfully utilised in physiotherapy over the past decade, with an increase owing to the pandemic - a silver lining of recent times. It is hypothesised that better outcomes arise when patients are more proactive in their own care, with a much less passive approach that can occur with hands-on therapy. Telehealth is undoubtedly a valid and reliable method of consultation in women's health physiotherapy.
