Assuming your physical therapist has their own website with its own doman, and not just, say, a Facebook page, you're leaking that information to your ISP with https, too. https doesn't hide the domain you're talking to, just the specific URLs within that domain.

We have SNI. Now sure your therapist may run their own VM on it's own IP address, but that's not very likely.
SNI doesn't encrypt the desired hostname in the payload of the initial connection. It's still plainly visible to an eavesdropper. They can also observe un-encrypted DNS lookups.
