How Does Physitrack Work Step by Step?

Updated

Physitrack works in three steps: build a home exercise program from its video library, send it to the patient's phone through PhysiApp, then monitor progress and adjust from your dashboard. The site says a small practice can sign up and prescribe a first program in one sitting, with no complex setup, and offers a 14-day free trial. The steps below describe what happens at each stage and what to check before relying on it.

Step 1: Build the program

You start in the clinician interface, where the exercise library is the core input.

  • Choose exercises from a library the site describes as 18,000+ clinically validated videos.
  • Set reps and sets for each exercise. The site says this takes seconds per exercise.
  • Send the plan to the patient's phone rather than printing it.

The expected result is a structured program the patient can open on their device. The practical constraint is exercise selection: with a library that large, the fastest path is usually to search by body region or condition rather than browse, and to save frequently used combinations as a protocol you can reuse.

Reusing programs across a team

For practices with more than one clinician, the mid-size tier adds shared protocol libraries so every clinician and location works from the same playbook. If you expect to grow, decide early whether programs should be built as personal templates or shared protocols, because retrofitting standardization later is more work than starting with it.

Step 2: Keep patients on track

The patient side runs in PhysiApp, a separate app on the patient's phone.

  • Patients follow the plan in the app.
  • They log sessions and discomfort levels, which is what produces the outcome data you see later.
  • Gamification and two-way messaging are used to sustain engagement.

The expected result is that adherence and discomfort data flow back to you without phone calls. The common sticking point is patient onboarding: the program only generates data if the patient installs the app and opens it. Build the install step into the first conversation or discharge instructions rather than assuming it happens.

Step 3: Monitor and adapt

Your dashboard is where the loop closes.

  • Track every patient from one view.
  • See discomfort trends alongside logged sessions.
  • Adapt the plan when the trend calls for it, then resend.

The expected result is a review cycle based on reported data rather than recall at the next visit. For teams, the mid-size tier adds one view of outcomes across every site, and the enterprise tier adds real-time operational oversight across clinicians and sites.

What the platform includes beyond the three steps

The site groups additional tools under "Physitrack Innovation," described as AI-first tools for clinicians and patients:

Tool What the site says it does
EMR AI-powered electronic medical record system
AI Exercise Search Describe the exercise; AI finds it and you prescribe it
Motion Capture Real-time movement tracking without sensors

These are presented as platform features, not as replacements for the three-step workflow. Treat them as additions to evaluate against your existing systems, particularly the EMR, which overlaps with software most clinics already run.

Choosing a starting point by practice size

The site segments users by clinician count and tailors the pitch to each:

  • Small practice (1–19 clinicians): positioned for speed — sign up and prescribe the first program the same day, live in one sitting, 14-day free trial.
  • Mid-size practice (20–100 clinicians): positioned for standardization — shared protocol libraries, new sites without extra admin, one outcomes view across sites, 14-day free trial, sales conversation.
  • Enterprise (100+ clinicians): positioned for oversight and integration — dedicated customer success team, org-wide real-time oversight, custom EHR/EMR integrations, 14-day free trial, sales conversation.

The choice hinges on whether your main problem is getting started (small), keeping multiple sites consistent (mid-size), or integrating with an existing health system (enterprise). The site does not publish prices on the page reviewed, so confirm commercial terms directly rather than inferring cost from the trial.

Before you commit

  • Confirm the trial covers your use case. The 14-day free trial is stated for all three tiers; check what happens to patient programs created during it.
  • Test the patient install path with one real patient before rolling out, since Step 2 depends on it.
  • Map the EMR question early if you already run an EMR — enterprise custom integrations are sales-led, so timelines matter.
  • Decide on shared protocols before onboarding a second clinician or site.

Used in this order — program, patient app, dashboard — Physitrack is a remote engagement layer on top of your clinical judgment, not a replacement for assessment. The three steps are simple; the work is in the setup decisions around them.
