What's New in Pocket Physio

2.0.4

December 12, 2020

Introducing the brand new Pocket Physio app from Practice Plus Group, featuring hip, knee, foot and hand exercises as well as a reminder function.

User reviews

Knee Replacement

I recently had a knee replacement surgery with Practice Plus
When I returned at three weeks for an assessment from the physio’s they showed me this app and it’s been fabulous
I’ve had no problems at all and use it every day to continue with my exercises
I’m post op by 6 weeks!

Garbage.

Do not install this app at all. It is completely useless and potentially dangerous. As an app, the buttons do not work when you need them to and the information is horrendous. Listen to your physiotherapist, not these independent organisations.

Needs some attention

There is some good information here and it is very useful to see the exercises demonstrated through the videos. What is annoying though is that the videos do not always work; you wait for nothing to happen or a blank screen can appear. Other reviewers have drawn attention to this but the errors are still there.

Limited but ok

I'd suggest adding a 'my exercises' section so that you can remember the ones you need that week or fortnight.

I'd also suggest linking the exercises to the reminders
I.e. X date, y time, heel raises and ...
I'd also add daily reminders setting.

Lastly, I'd include a count function that is linked to the 'my exercises' section to help people keep track of their reps.

Love it!

I have had this App for a few years and have to say I love it. Very good info and to the point. Specially if you work in a setting that it could be of use.
