    Can a physiotherapist run their practice on Vaidya OS?

    Quick answer

    Yes. Vaidya OS supports session-pack tracking (e.g. 10-session packages billed upfront), exercise prescriptions with image and video attachments, progress measurement fields (range of motion, pain scale, functional scores), and home-exercise WhatsApp reminders that significantly improve adherence outside the clinic.

    In this answer

    Physiotherapy practice needs differ from medical practice in three ways: session packs, exercise prescriptions, and out-of-clinic adherence. Vaidya OS handles all three.

    Session pack billing

    • Sell 6, 10, 15, or custom-count session packs.
    • Track sessions used vs remaining per patient.
    • Auto-prompt patient to renew when 1-2 sessions remain.
    • Pay-per-session option also available.

    Exercise prescription

    • Library of common exercises with photos / illustrations.
    • Add reps, sets, frequency, duration per exercise.
    • Optional video attachment for technique reference.
    • Send the full prescription as a WhatsApp PDF — patient has it on their phone for home practice.

    Progress measurement

    Standardised assessment fields per visit:

    • Pain scale (0-10).
    • Range of motion (degrees per joint).
    • Functional scores: WOMAC (knee), DASH (shoulder), Oswestry (back), etc.
    • Auto-charts trend across sessions for outcome documentation.

    Home adherence — the biggest leak

    Physiotherapy outcomes depend on home exercise compliance, which is typically 30-50% without intervention. WhatsApp reminders bring it to 65-80%:

    • Daily exercise reminder at the patient's preferred time.
    • Weekly progress check-in: "Pain level today? Reply 0-10."
    • Auto-flag patients whose pain scores aren't improving for therapist review.

    Setup for a physiotherapy clinic

    1. Standard clinic setup (10 min).
    2. Configure session pack pricing (3 min).
    3. Add 8-12 common exercises to your library (10 min).
    4. Set assessment template per condition (5 min).
