Physical therapists lack systematic tools to monitor and intervene on patient motivation drops during mid-treatment plateaus. Existing solutions ignore the psychological aspect, leading to missed appointments and inconsistent compliance.
“Physical therapists may not listen to patient's full history and rely too heavily on physician referral notes, hindering personalized care.”
“Outpatient physical therapists struggle to keep active patients compliant with rehab when seasonal activities like hiking resume, leading to flare-ups and lost progress.”
JustifyRx: Compliance Documentation
