Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the use of teletherapy during the corona pandemic by three non-medical therapy professionals in the health sector.

Method: As part of a questionnaire-based online survey, 282 participants from the field of ergotherapy, physiotherapy and speech therapy were asked about usage behavior, challenges, potentials, and general conditions of teletherapy.

Results: Especially ergo and speech therapists used teletherapy during the corona pandemic. From their point of view, teletherapy also had a potential to be used as an alternative form of therapy, regardless of the coronavirus pandemic, adding that there was a great need for further assistance and training in the field of teletherapy.

Conclusion: To implement this form of therapy on a long-term basis, in addition to technical requirements and training opportunities, accounting formalities need to be clarified.
