5 Signs Your Current Home Exercise Program Software Is Holding You Back

Still using a home exercise program platform that feels like it was built in 2009? You’re not alone — but it might be hurting your business more than you think.

Here are five red flags to watch for in your current PT software — and how switching to something better (like Recover Reel) can save your sanity and your outcomes.

1. You Spend Too Long Making Programs

If it takes more than a few clicks to build and send a program, it’s too slow. Modern software should let you save templates, drag-and-drop exercises, and update dosage in seconds.

2. Patients Don’t Actually Use It

Do your patients regularly say, “I forgot what you showed me”? If the app or printout doesn’t resonate with them, they won’t use it. And if they’re not doing the work… they’re not getting better.

3. You Can’t Send Custom Videos

Let’s be real: your cues matter. If you’re stuck choosing from a pre-made library that doesn’t reflect your approach, it’s time to upgrade. Recover Reel lets you record and upload custom videos in seconds — straight from your phone.

4. Messaging Is Clunky or Nonexistent

Patients need to ask questions. If your current software doesn’t have HIPAA-compliant messaging, you’re either giving out your cell number or leaving them confused. Neither is good.

5. It Doesn’t Reflect Your Brand

Generic software with another company’s logo? That doesn’t help your clinic grow. Your tools should reinforce your brand and make your care stand out.
