The use of Telemedicine needs to be considered, especially in the field of physiotherapy as an alternative to these problems. Based on the role of Telemedicine in the field of physiotherapy, legal regulations and legal protection from the use of Telemedicine to the privacy and security of patient data in physiotherapy practice must be considered. Legal protection is also a legal responsibility for physiotherapists and other health care providers who use Telemedicine. The purpose of this article is to find out the importance of the role and legal regulation of the use of Telemedicine in physiotherapy practice. The approach used in writing this research is a normative legal approach, relying on secondary data or literature study as the main source in collecting and analyzing legal materials. The results obtained are regulations or laws regarding pharmaceutical practices with Telemedicine are needed, especially to protect the privacy and security of patient data.
