Remote Therapeutic Monitoring

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) strengthens your recovery by providing access to your therapy team wherever you are. Through regular monitoring and feedback, RTM helps track your progress, ensures proper exercise performance, and keeps your recovery on the right path. This added layer of care supports a smoother, safer transition back to your active lifestyle.

Keeping Your Care On Track

What Is Remote Therapeutic Monitoring?

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) enhances your care by extending support beyond the clinic, giving you continuous connection to your therapy team. With a personalized home exercise program and regular virtual check-ins, RTM keeps you engaged and progressing in your recovery. You’ll receive real-time feedback, answers to your questions, and plan adjustments as needed. Even after your in-clinic visits end, RTM helps you maintain progress, avoid setbacks, and quickly reconnect with care if new concerns arise.

It Goes Beyond the Clinic

Adherence to home exercise programs (HEPs) is essential for successful physical therapy, yet less than 50% of patients fully follow them*. Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) significantly boosts adherence, leading to better outcomes and faster recovery.

Real Time Support for You

Key Benefits of Remote Therapeutic Monitoring

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is a next-level home exercise program with real-time support from licensed clinicians. It keeps you motivated and on track between visits with expert guidance, feedback, and encouragement. Even after your in-clinic care ends, RTM helps you maintain progress and prevent setbacks.

  • Seamless Communication

    With Remote Therapeutic Monitoring, you have consistent access to a licensed ATI clinician who’s here to support you between visits. Whether you have questions, need help with your exercises, or want extra guidance beyond what’s provided in your home exercise program (HEP), your clinician is just a message or quick check-in away — helping you stay confident and on track in your recovery.

  • Encouragement and Motivation

    With Remote Therapeutic Monitoring, you’ll receive ongoing encouragement to stay consistent with your exercise routine. Your clinician will celebrate your milestones and recognize your progress along the way, helping build your confidence and keeping you motivated throughout your recovery journey.

  • Post-Discharge Support

    Remote Therapeutic Monitoring continues to support you even after your formal therapy ends. It’s designed to keep your recovery moving forward, prevent setbacks, and ensure you stay focused on your long-term health goals. If a new muscle or joint concern arises, your RTM clinician can help reconnect you with your physician and, if needed, guide you back into therapy for additional support.

Ongoing Support for Your Goals

What Should I Expect from Remote Therapeutic Monitoring?

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is designed to enhance your physical therapy—not replace it. You’ll continue attending your regular visits with your physical therapist while also receiving extra support between sessions from an RTM clinician. This added support includes exercise guidance, education, help using the app, and more. You’ll have real-time access to your RTM clinician through direct messaging, email, phone, or video calls, so you can get answers and stay on track whenever you need it.
