Authors' recommendations:
Report finds that providing physiotherapy via the PhysioDirect telemedicine service is equally clinically effective compared with usual waiting list-based care. It provides faster access to treatment, appears to be safe, is broadly acceptable to patients, and is likely to be cost-effective compared with usual care.
