Rehab Guru

Overview

Rehab Guru is a clinic platform for exercise prescription, patient follow-up and practice administration. It suits rehabilitation and musculoskeletal practitioners who want those jobs together, particularly small teams starting with a limited caseload. The free entry point is useful for a small trial, but its six-client cap and Basic’s paid administration add-ons make the plan choice consequential.

Its stated audiences include physiotherapy, sports medicine and rehabilitation teams, MSK clinics, occupational health providers, chiropractors and elite sports organisations. The company says co-founder Simon Taylor built the first version in 2012.

Key features

• Exercise prescription: More than 6,000 exercises and over 280 ready-made templates provide clinicians with a broad base for building programmes. That breadth is most useful to practices that prescribe exercises regularly; it does not remove the need to choose and tailor a programme for each patient.
• Remote monitoring: Clinicians can track adherence, outcomes, pain, wellness and RPE remotely. This extends the product beyond issuing a plan, giving practitioners several ways to follow progress between visits.
• Clinic administration: Rehab Guru includes patient records and appointment reminders. Bookings, invoicing, online payments, treatment notes and patient forms are also supported, but Basic charges separately for several of these functions.
• Telehealth: Browser-based individual and group video calls work without downloads, which avoids requiring patients to install software for an appointment.
• Connected tools and data: Listed connections include Cliniko, Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Zoom, Nookal, coreplus, Scan.com and Strength by Numbers. Enterprise integrations can connect through FHIR, HL7 or Redox Engine. The trust centre identifies encryption at rest and in transit, ISO 27001:2022 and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications.
• Support: Basic plans use an online support portal and ticketing system; Pro adds priority support. That distinction may matter to clinics that need faster help with day-to-day operations.

Pricing

Rehab Guru uses a freemium model. The Free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and includes six clients, full access to exercises and templates, no sending limits and standard support. It omits add-on modules and customisation, so it is a fit for trying exercise prescription with a very small caseload, not for a clinic that needs the administration suite.

Basic costs 10.00 USD per month, billed monthly, for one user licence and 5,000 exercises. Appointments, invoicing, payments, treatment notes and forms each cost £5/mo as add-ons. That can make Basic a lower-cost starting point when a practitioner chiefly needs exercise tools, but the extras can erode the saving for a clinic that needs several administrative functions.

Pro costs 20.00 USD per month, billed monthly. It includes Basic features, appointments and online payments, treatment notes, patient forms, body charts, file uploads and priority support. It is the more coherent choice for a practitioner who needs clinic workflows as well as exercise programming, rather than piecing them together as Basic add-ons.

Enterprise has custom pricing and a fixed-term contract. It adds custom integrations, advanced permissions, dedicated support and training, making it the tier for organisations with integration or governance needs rather than solo practitioners. A 30-day Pro trial requires no credit card upfront, giving prospective users a way to assess the paid feature set before committing.

Platforms

Rehab Guru runs on Android, iOS and the web. Therapist and client apps are available across those platforms, with synchronisation between devices, a useful fit for clinicians and patients who switch between mobile and browser access.

Who it's for

Rehab Guru is strongest for physiotherapy, sports medicine, rehabilitation and MSK practices that need exercise programmes alongside monitoring and clinic tasks. A single practitioner can begin with the Free plan or one-user Basic; teams needing advanced permissions, custom integrations or dedicated support should consider Enterprise. It is less compelling for a clinic that needs multiple administrative modules on Basic, since those functions incur separate charges.

Pros and cons

• Pro: The extensive exercise library and template collection give clinicians a substantial prescription starting point.
• Pro: Remote monitoring covers adherence, outcomes, pain, wellness and RPE, supporting follow-up between appointments.
• Pro: Browser telehealth supports individual and group calls without downloads.
• Pro: The Free tier has no sending limits, though it is restricted to six clients and excludes add-on modules.
• Con: Basic is limited to one user licence, and five common clinic functions are sold as separate £5/mo add-ons.
• Con: Free’s six-client ceiling makes it a poor fit once a practice has a larger active caseload.
• Con: Enterprise requires a fixed-term contract, which is a more substantial commitment than the monthly Free, Basic and Pro options.

Alternatives

For a broader shortlist focused on appointment workflows, compare Physical Therapy Scheduling Software.

• Phyzioline is a paid alternative with a free trial and a Professional Cloud plan for up to 200 patients and eight staff, for clinics prioritising those stated capacity limits.
• Apollo Practice Management starts with a Single plan for one practitioner that includes unlimited scheduling, billing and EMR, so it is worth considering when those workflows are the priority.
• Empower EMR is an alternative for readers comparing EMR options.
• Noterro is a paid option with a free trial and a Core annual plan that includes one practitioner seat, with additional practitioner seats priced separately.
• PtEverywhere offers a Starter plan with one therapist user, unlimited admin and receptionist users, and a 20-visit monthly appointment limit, a different fit for practices that need those staff roles.
• WebPT positions its Starter and Enhanced plans for practices that want EMR and related front-office, clinical, marketing or billing software; Enhanced is aimed at growing practices that take insurance.
• KinetiqTec has a Solo plan with online booking, patient profiles, clinical notes, exercise programming and basic payments, making it another option for a solo practitioner comparing those core tasks.
• Practice Perfect EMR is a web and Windows alternative with a United States Essentials plan requiring at least four concurrent licences, which may better suit a practice buying several concurrent seats.

Verdict

Choose Rehab Guru if exercise prescription and remote follow-up are central to your rehabilitation or MSK practice and you also want clinic administration in the same platform. Its broad exercise library and Pro feature bundle are the strongest reasons to choose it; the six-client Free cap and Basic add-on charges are the reasons to look elsewhere if you need a fuller clinic setup at the lowest tier.
