SOAP Notes for Massage Therapy

Features
Read full description

Your notes should be finished before the next client is on the table. SOAP Notes for Massage Therapy turns charting into a few taps, on the iPhone in your pocket or the iPad at the front desk. Build each Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan section from your own library of phrases, then duplicate the last session and change only what's different. Mark trigger points, tension, pain and areas worked on front, back, left, right and face views, or draw freehand. Tag modalities, pressure and pain before and after. New: hand over the device for intake. Your client fills in their own health history, contraindications and emergency contact, signs with a finger, and only sees that form. Getting back to your records takes Face ID, your passcode or a code you set. New: encrypted backups. Save every client and note in one passphrase-protected file, in Files or iCloud Drive, wherever you choose. Restore it on another device after checking the passphrase and confirming. A reminder appears if you haven't made a backup in 30 days. Backups are made by you; nothing syncs on its own. On iPad, your client list now sits beside the notes, so you can move between clients without losing your place. Export a single session or a client's full history as a clean PDF with your practice name. Records live on your device, there's no account, and we never receive them. An optional Face ID lock adds another layer. Made for massage therapists, bodyworkers, chiropractors and estheticians who keep their own records. This is a record-keeping tool and doesn't give medical advice. Try it free with 1 client and 3 full sessions. Premium removes the limits, and both the weekly and annual plans start with a 3-day free trial. This app offers a weekly subscription with a 3-day free trial, and an annual subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID Account Settings. Restore purchases from the app settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
