Virtual Consultations: What Are They & Why They Work

Dr. Courtney Conley (DC, BS’s in Kinesiology & Human Biology)

What Is a Virtual Consultation?

A virtual consultation is a personalized, one-on-one session with a Gait Happens clinician - conducted entirely online. Just like an in-person visit, you'll receive a detailed assessment, expert feedback, and a customized plan tailored to your unique needs. The only difference? You don't have to leave your house.​

Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, struggling to find answers, or looking to optimize your movement, virtual consultations can be a powerful solution.​

Here's what to expect and why this approach works.

Why Consider a Virtual Consult?

Pain, discomfort, or inefficient movement patterns don't always require a hands-on fix. In fact, many issues can be effectively assessed by observing your movement and asking the right questions.​

At Gait Happens, our clinicians specialize in analyzing movement virtually. With extensive experience in gait and functional movement assessments, we know what to look for.​

Top Benefits of a Virtual Consult

Convenience – No travel time. No waiting rooms. Just expert help from wherever you are.

Access to Experts – Work directly with Gait Happens clinicians who specialize in gait and foot function.

Personalized Plans – Receive tailored exercises, footwear guidance, and daily strategies specific to you.

Follow-Up Support – Leave with a clear plan and the option to check in as needed.

Whole-Body Approach – We look beyond where the pain is showing up to identify the actual source.​

What to Expect During Your Session

A virtual consultation is more than just a quick chat. Here's what typically happens:​

  1. Thorough Intake – You'll share your history, symptoms, movement goals, and any past injuries.
  2. Movement Assessment – We'll review pictures and videos you send to us ahead of times as well as ask you to perform simple movements during your video call to assess movement limitations and compensations.
  3. Footwear Review – Bring your current shoes! The good and the bad. We'll take a look and offer suggestions if needed.
  4. Action Plan – Based on our findings, we'll provide tailored recommendations - stretches, strengthening, mobility work, and lifestyle tips.
  5. Q&A – You'll have time to ask any questions on your mind.​

You'll also receive a recorded evaluation summary and customized 30-day movement plan to help you stay on track.​
