LA therapist relieves pain with Skype video

By My status Howard Wolinsky on August 22, 2009 in Business.

Frank Titus, a Los Angeles based exercise therapist is an expert in
kinesiology, or the science of movement, and founder of Titus Motion
Therapy
.

Over many years he has provided his therapy through an exchange of
videos with his patients, who typically suffer from chronic pain.

Patients would record themselves standing in four positions and
walking in front of the camera and mail the videos to Frank. Then, he
would evaluate their posture and movement
patterns and send videos back showing them ways to correct posture to
relieve chronic back pain, rotator cuff injuries, herniated discs,
arthritis
and a host of other painful conditions.

But because the therapy relied on the mail and people making
recordings, eight sessions could easily stretch out over six months.

But now Frank has taken the pain out of the technology.

He is using Skype video calling, which enables his clients to be
evaluated and to receive instructions in real time.

"For the first time, they can ask me questions in real time," he said.

Frank said this has sped up the process, enabling clients to finish
the regimen in a matter of eight weeks.

Skype also has made it possible for Frank to expand his horizons. He¹s
taking care of patients as far away as New Zealand and Australia.
