This article sought to analyze the contribution of physiotherapy teleconsultation to the quality of life of patients with chronic diseases, under physical, functional, and psychosocial aspects. This is a qualitative bibliographic review, with searches conducted in the PEDro, SciELO, LILACS, and PubMed databases, considering studies published between 2020 and 2026. Works evaluating outcomes of functionality, pain, adherence, satisfaction, and quality of life in patients receiving telerehabilitation were selected. The results indicated that teleconsultation showed clinical and functional outcomes comparable to in‑person care in musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary conditions, with good adherence and patient satisfaction. It is concluded that remote physiotherapy constitutes an effective strategy, which expands access to care, fosters patient autonomy, and maintains or improves quality of life, being adapted to individual needs.
