Brief summary: The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of utilizing a telehealth rehabilitation platform to increase patient access for individuals who have undergone orthopedic surgery.

Patient participants will be seen via telehealth until they are able to be seen by an in-person physical therapist of their choice.

Provider participants will be the physical therapist who are providing physical therapy services through the telehealth application.

Data collection:

Patient and provider post surveys Home program and scheduled visit compliance rate Healthcare information in keeping with Stand of care physical therapy practices
