Online Physiotherapy in English — Video Consultations for Italy
Back pain in a hotel in Florence, a knee that swelled on the Dolomites, a shoulder rehabilitation that stopped the day you moved to Italy: an English-speaking physiotherapist assesses you on camera and builds a programme you can follow wherever you are staying.
Fees shown before you book. No prescription, no referral needed.
How It Works
Choose your physiotherapist, no address needed
Press Choose & Book: you go straight to the booking page listing the English-speaking physiotherapists available by video, with CV, specialisms and exact fee. Pick one and book from any town in Italy, or from abroad.
A time within a day or two, reports sent ahead
The physiotherapist proposes a slot, within one or two days at most. You pay at confirmation and are charged only after the session; before the first call you complete a short consent form and can send your scans and reports in advance.
Assessed on camera, then your programme
The first session is an assessment: your history, your reports, and your movement watched on screen. You leave with a programme, the exercises demonstrated, and a review a week later; treatment cycles and packages follow if needed.
Online physiotherapy works because you do the moving: the physiotherapist shows you how, watches, corrects and progresses it — no Italian prescription or referral required to start.

What to do now, whether to see a doctor, and how to travel home safely
A first online physiotherapy session starts from € 70 — each physiotherapist’s exact fee is shown before you book. Discounted packages are available for treatment cycles.
What Works on Video — and When You Need Hands On
Tele-rehabilitation is physiotherapy where you are the hands: the physiotherapist assesses, teaches, watches and progresses; you move. That covers more than most people expect, and less than everything.
✓Works well on video
- Assessment of pain and movement on camera, with your reports reviewed
- Back, neck and sciatic pain, including desk-related problems
- Shoulder, hip, knee and ankle problems, tendon and ligament injuries
- Rehabilitation after surgery, once your surgeon has cleared you to exercise
- Posture — kyphosis, scoliosis, the hours at a laptop
- Neurological conditions — supervised exercise and progression
- A programme supervised while you travel from one Italian city to the next
Sessions last 30 to 45 minutes.
→When you need hands on
- Osteopathy, manual therapy, joint mobilisation, massage — these need the home physiotherapy service, and the two integrate in one pathway.
- Tecar and other instrumental therapies, lymphatic drainage, care in the first days after an operation.
- A fresh injury that needs a doctor first. If a fracture is suspected, or you have new numbness or weakness, the physiotherapist will say so and can arrange the medical visit before rehabilitation starts.
What to send beforehand
Orthopaedic, physiatry or neurology reports; X-rays, MRI or ultrasound images with their reports; the surgical report if you are recovering from an operation; a short note on the pain — since when, and in which movements.
What to prepare where you are
A clear patch of floor, comfortable clothing, and the device placed so the physiotherapist sees your whole body move. A chair and a towel or mat cover most first sessions.
Video and home visits together
Where the home service reaches you, video and hands-on sessions can alternate within the same pathway, with the same team; where it does not, video keeps the programme moving.
Why Online Physiotherapy Through Medelit
Your programme travels with you
Rome this week, Naples the next, the lakes in August: the same physiotherapist keeps progressing your exercises wherever the trip or the contract takes you.
No clinic to find, no Italian to negotiate
Rehabilitation is explained in English, from the diagnosis on your Italian scan to the exercise you are doing wrong.
Assessed, not just exercised
The first session is a proper assessment, not a downloaded routine: what is wrong, what to do, what to avoid, and how you will know it is working.
Selected, not listed
Every physiotherapist holds an Italian degree and registration, is insured, reference-checked and interviewed by our medical direction, and has worked in tele-rehabilitation before.
Packages for treatment cycles
After the assessment, a discounted package books a cycle of sessions with the same physiotherapist, at the hours that suit your work.
Paperwork for your insurer
Each session comes with a regular healthcare invoice and, on request, a written report in English for your insurer, employer or physiotherapist back home.

For most musculoskeletal problems, yes: the research on exercise-based rehabilitation delivered by video shows outcomes comparable to in-person care, because the active ingredient is the exercise you do between sessions, not the room you learn it in. Where hands-on treatment is needed, the physiotherapist says so.
Yes. A video assessment tells you whether the ankle, knee or back can be managed with a programme, whether it needs a doctor or imaging first, and what to do in the days before you travel. Your physiotherapist at home receives a written summary in English.
Back, neck and sciatic pain; shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle problems; muscle and tendon injuries; posture; rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery once you are cleared to exercise; neurological conditions needing supervised exercise; respiratory and cardiac rehabilitation programmes.
The physiotherapist listens to your story, goes through the reports and images you sent, and asks you to perform specific movements on camera — sometimes simple tests of strength, balance or breathing. You end the session knowing what the problem is and what the plan is, with the first exercises demonstrated.
Those need the physiotherapist or osteopath in the room. In the cities we cover, the home physiotherapy service provides them, and video sessions can alternate with hands-on visits inside the same pathway.
Sessions run 30 to 45 minutes. The number depends on the problem: a simple episode of back pain may need two or three, a post-surgical programme a cycle of several weeks. The physiotherapist tells you after the assessment, and packages cover the longer cycles.
No. You book directly. If the physiotherapist thinks a medical opinion or imaging is needed before rehabilitation, they will say so and can arrange an English-speaking doctor.
Any orthopaedic, physiatry or neurology report, the images and reports of X-rays, MRI or ultrasound scans, the surgical report if there was an operation, and a few lines on the pain: since when, and which movements bring it on. Everything is handled encrypted and read before the call.
Yes. The video platform works from any country, so a rehabilitation started in Italy can be followed through to the end with the same physiotherapist.
A first online physiotherapy session starts from € 70; each physiotherapist’s exact fee is visible before you book, and discounted packages are offered for treatment cycles. Payment is taken at confirmation and only charged after the session; cancelling a video session less than 48 hours ahead means the full fee is due.
