A 4-minute survey for physiotherapists

How does your clinic handle the time between sessions?

I’m exploring a tool that helps physios keep patients doing their home programme and finishing their rehab. Before building anything, I want to know how things actually work in your clinic. No right answers, and rough estimates are fine.

15 questions · Mostly tap-to-answer · Takes about 4 minutes

About your practice

1.Which best describes you?

2.How long have you been practising?

3.Roughly how many patient sessions do you do in a typical week?

Home exercise programmes

4.How do you usually give patients their home exercises?

Tick everything you use.

5.How long does it take you to prepare and hand over a home programme?

6.Of the patients you send home with exercises, how many actually do them most days?

Your honest guess.

7.Between sessions, how do you know whether a patient did their exercises?

Patients who stop early

8.How many of your patients finish the course of treatment you recommend?

9.What's the single most common reason they stop early?

10.When a patient goes quiet, what usually happens?

Messages between sessions

11.How many patient messages or calls do you get on a typical day, outside sessions?

12.Would you be comfortable with automated replies answering routine patient questions first?

They would follow guidance you set, and anything serious would come straight to you. Things like "is this soreness normal?" or "can I skip today?"

The idea

13.If a tool did these things, which two would help you most?

Pick up to two.

14.What would a tool like this be worth to you per month?

Assume it reliably keeps two more patients a month through to the end of their treatment.

15.What would make you never use something like this?(optional)

The blunter the better. Optional, but this is the most useful answer on the page.

Your name and clinic.(optional)

Optional. Helps me follow up if you're open to a 15-minute chat.
