Therapists everywhere currently print out copies of costly templates to hand their patients as they leave the clinic. With WebPT’s new Home Exercise Program, therapists can send their patients a Home Exercise Program through email, saving time and resources in the clinic. The therapist will have the freedom to update the program as the patient progresses through treatment directly in the WebPT application.

Add HEP to your practice to gain access to thousands of videos, color photos, and line drawings, all with instructions. Studies have shown that video as part of a HEP increases patient compliance.* WebPT has worked to save you even more time by creating peer-reviewed, pre-defined Exercise Profiles. You can also create your own customized profiles and edit instructions!

HEP Benefits

Busy, on-the-go patients expect access to their exercises at all times. Elevate the level of your clinic’s service by offering patients exercises available at the gym or at home on any web-enabled computer or smartphone.

Skip the paper and ink. Go mobile, paperless and save

The HEP exercise formats accommodate all possible learning styles:

• Visual
• Auditory
• Tactile

Visual learners will do best with the drawings/illustrations. Patients with an auditory learning style will respond well to the audio portion of the videos. And last but not least, tactile learners will love matching the physical practice in your clinic to the movements they can watch in the videos.

Research shows: HEP Increases Patient Compliance

Research shows increase in patient compliance and a decrease in errors when providing patient with video based instruction as opposed to static imagery.
