How One Physical Therapist Improved Patient Compliance by 300% with Recover Reel

Meet Jamie, a solo PT clinic owner in Northern California who treats runners, post-op patients, and active adults.

Before switching to Recover Reel, she was using a clunky exercise PDF builder — and it was costing her time, outcomes, and her sanity.


The Problem: Patients Weren’t Doing the Work

Jamie noticed the same problem every week:

  • “I forgot what you told me.”

  • “That exercise didn’t feel right.”

  • “I didn’t get to it this week.”

She tried sending YouTube links. She tried handing out printed sheets. Nothing worked. Compliance hovered around 30–40%.


The Switch: Custom Video and Messaging Made Easy

Jamie heard about Recover Reel from a colleague and decided to try it. Within the first week:

  • She uploaded custom demo videos in her treatment room

  • She sent personalized plans using clinic branding

  • Patients received reminders and messaged her questions without texting her personal phone


The Results: 300% Increase in Compliance in 60 Days

  • HEP compliance rose to over 90%

  • She stopped getting “what was I supposed to do again?” messages

  • Her evaluation-to-discharge time shrank by 2–3 weeks per patient

  • Word of mouth referrals increased — patients loved the personal touch


Jamie’s Take:

“I didn’t realize how much time I was wasting until I switched. Recover Reel has become my secret weapon for getting patients better, faster. Not to mention, they are happier, and we've seen a big uptick in word of mouth referrals
