Physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and other physical therapists can only do so much when patients are in the office for their appointments, so the MyPhysio App is a helpful tool to increase the likelihood that patients will follow through with exercises while they're away from their therapists. The app has a user-friendly interface, built-in exercise instructions, and push notifications that all encourage patients to keep up with their prescribed routines.
The MyPhysio app, which is based out of Australia, is convenient for both practitioners and patients. For therapists, it's easy to assign exercises, work out a performance plan, and adjust those exercises over time. And since that information is all immediately available, patients need not do anything beyond checking their phone to refresh themselves on what their exercise regimen is meant to be over the course of their recovery.
