When it comes to physical therapy, what you do between your visits can make all the difference in your outcome. That’s why we’re proud to offer Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) at Healing Arts Physical Therapy—an innovative approach that helps our patients stay consistent, engaged, and on track with their recovery.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or working to restore function after surgery, RTM gives you the support and structure you need to get better—faster.


What Is Remote Therapeutic Monitoring?

RTM is a modern healthcare service that uses technology—like apps or wearable sensors—to help your therapist monitor your progress outside of the clinic. Think of it as a virtual extension of your care, focused on:

  • Tracking your home exercise completion

  • Monitoring your pain, mobility, and activity levels

  • Providing real-time updates and feedback to your therapist

  • Helping you stay accountable and on course

It’s fully HIPAA-compliant and uses FDA-approved digital tools, so your data stays safe while your therapist stays informed.


Why RTM Works So Well

Most patients attend physical therapy 1–3 times per week. That leaves dozens of hours in between where progress—or regression—can happen. RTM bridges that gap.

Here’s how it’s helping our patients get better results:


1. Improved Compliance

With RTM, patients are much more likely to stick to their home exercise program. Daily reminders, progress tracking, and therapist feedback help eliminate guesswork and keep patients motivated.

2. Early Intervention

RTM allows us to spot setbacks, flare-ups, or lack of progress in real time. That means we can adjust your plan quickly instead of waiting days or weeks for your next visit.

3. Personalized Progress

Your care evolves with you. As your pain decreases and your strength increases, we fine-tune your program to keep you progressing—without plateauing or pushing too hard.

4. Long-Term Results

Patients who consistently complete their home program are more likely to maintain their progress and avoid re-injury. RTM reinforces healthy habits that stick with you long after therapy ends.


What Our Patients Are Saying

We’ve seen a noticeable difference in patients who use RTM—they move better, feel more confident, and often graduate from therapy ahead of schedule. Some even continue using their digital tools after discharge to maintain wellness and stay active.


Is RTM Right for You

If you're currently receiving physical therapy or just getting started, RTM may be a great fit—especially if you:

  • Want faster progress

  • Need more accountability with your exercises

  • Have a busy schedule and need support at home

  • Are managing a chronic or recurring condition

Ask your therapist if RTM is appropriate for your plan of care. Getting started is easy—and the benefits can be life-changing.


Ready to Learn More

At Healing Arts Physical Therapy, we’re committed to giving you the tools and support to not only get better—but stay better. If you're curious about how Remote Therapeutic Monitoring can help you or a loved one, give us a call or ask about it at your next visit.

Let’s keep the healing going—every day of the week.
