Built-In Templates: Effortless Exercise Catalog Management for Smarter Rehab Planning

Simplify Recovery with Pre-Built, Customizable Rehab Plans

In physical therapy, consistency and structure are everything. But creating, assigning, and managing exercise routines from scratch can be overwhelming—for both practitioners and patients. That’s why Spot Rehab introduces a powerful new feature: Built-In Templates for Adding and Managing Exercise Catalogs.

Whether you’re a therapist looking to streamline patient care or a patient trying to stay consistent with your exercises, these pre-designed templates make the rehabilitation journey smoother, faster, and more effective.

Let’s explore how this new feature transforms rehab planning into a seamless, user-friendly experience.

What Are Built-In Templates?

Built-In Templates are professionally designed exercise routines stored directly within the Spot Rehab platform. These templates are created with clinical precision and are categorized based on rehabilitation goals, such as post-surgical recovery, sports injury rehabilitation, chronic condition support, and elderly wellness programs.

Each template includes:

  • A curated sequence of exercises
  • Step-by-step instructions
  • Real-time feedback powered by AI motion tracking
  • The flexibility to modify, expand, or reassign exercises as needed

This means therapists no longer need to manually build each routine from the ground up and patients receive high-quality, structured care that aligns with their recovery goals.

Why Templates Matter in Physical Therapy

Creating effective rehab routines is a time-intensive task. It requires knowledge, planning, and careful tailoring to each patient’s condition. But with Spot Rehab’s Built-In Templates, therapists can:

  • Save time by starting with a clinically validated template
  • Ensure consistency across different patients with similar conditions
  • Make faster updates based on patient progress
  • Assign exercise routines remotely, with confidence

For patients, templates reduce confusion. Instead of relying on vague printouts or memory, they get clear, visual, and interactive plans they can follow step by step.

Key Benefits of Using Built-In Templates

Save Time with Pre-Built Plans

No need to build every exercise routine from scratch. Therapists can select from a catalog of expertly designed templates, modify as needed, and assign them instantly.

Easy Customization

Each template can be edited to match the patient’s exact condition and recovery stage. Add, remove, or reorder exercises with a few taps.

Consistent Quality

Using standardized templates ensures every patient receives high-quality, structured routines aligned with clinical best practices.

Accessible on Any Device

Templates are accessible directly from smartphones or tablets, so patients always have their personalized plan within reach.

Use Cases

  • Post-Operative Recovery: Quickly assign targeted routines for knee, hip, or shoulder surgeries using condition-specific templates.
  • Chronic Pain Programs: Use ready-made plans for conditions like lower back pain, arthritis, or fibromyalgia.
  • Senior Mobility: Offer safe, low-impact routines designed specifically for older adults.
  • Sports Injury Recovery: Athletes recovering from muscle strains, ligament tears, or sprains benefit from structured regimens built around injury type and severity.

How Does It Work?

Step 1: Select a Template

From the Spot Rehab interface, User can browse a catalog of templates categorized by condition, body part, or recovery stage.

Step 2: Customize

Step 3: Track Progress

AI can remotely view patient adherence, identify missed exercises, and update the routine as needed.

Why This Feature Matters

Many therapists spend hours building custom plans from scratch, while patients often struggle to follow disorganized or generic routines. Built-In Templates solve both problems by delivering:

  • Efficiency for practitioners
  • Clarity for patients
  • Better rehab adherence and outcomes

Why It’s a Game-Changer

Managing a physical therapy catalog becomes effortless with built-in templates. Instead of manually uploading individual exercises, practitioners gain access to a smart, scalable tool that improves patient outcomes, saves time, and ensures best practices.
