Despite record investments in virtual physical therapy companies, most notably Hinge Health and Sword Health, a new study shows that physical therapy patients materially prefer hands-on, home-based care.

In the study, 1,000 patients with a wide range of conditions were asked to rate their willingness to use in-person in-home care, virtual televisit-based care, and facility-based care for their physical therapy treatment, using a scale of 0-5 (5 being the highest).
