Rehabilitation does not only happen in the clinic. What you do between appointments plays a significant role in how well and how quickly you recover, whether you are working through knee rehab exercises following injury, progressing shoulder rehab exercises after surgery, or managing a long-term condition through structured physiotherapy exercises at home.
At Evolve Physiotherapy, we use Medbridge to deliver personalised, digital home exercise programmes to every patient who needs one. This means you always have clear guidance on exactly what to do, how to do it correctly and how often, so that your rehabilitation continues to progress between sessions.
Medbridge is a leading clinical exercise prescription platform used by physiotherapists to create and deliver individualised rehabilitation exercise programmes. At Evolve Physiotherapy, we use Medbridge to send each patient a personalised programme directly to their phone or email, complete with video demonstrations, written instructions and condition-specific education.
The free Medbridge app can be downloaded on any smartphone, giving you instant access to your programme at any time, whether you are at home, at the gym or travelling.
Your programme is built specifically around your condition, your stage of recovery and your goals. Depending on what you are being treated for, it may include:
The research consistently shows that adherence to a home exercise programme is one of the strongest predictors of rehabilitation outcomes. Patients who complete their physiotherapy exercises between appointments consistently recover faster and more fully than those who rely solely on in-clinic treatment.
By providing your programme digitally through Medbridge, we make it as easy as possible to stay on track, removing the uncertainty that often comes with paper handouts or trying to remember what was demonstrated in the clinic.
Your home exercise programme is not static. As you progress through rehabilitation, your programme is reviewed and updated at each appointment to reflect your current capacity and the next stage of your recovery. This ensures your rehabilitation exercises continue to challenge you appropriately, rather than plateauing early.
If anything is unclear or uncomfortable, your physiotherapist is available to discuss and adjust the programme as needed.
We believe that clear, accessible and well-designed home programmes are a core part of effective physiotherapy, not an afterthought. Every patient who requires a home programme receives one through Medbridge as a standard part of their care, ensuring continuity between sessions and giving you the tools to take an active role in your own recovery. If you would like to find out more or book an appointment, get in touch with our clinic or book online.
Exercise prescription in physiotherapy refers to the design and delivery of an individualised exercise programme tailored to your condition, goals and current capacity. It forms a core part of rehabilitation for most musculoskeletal and chronic conditions.
Your programme is sent directly to your email and is accessible through the free Medbridge app on your smartphone. Each exercise includes a video demonstration and written instructions so you can follow it accurately at home.
Yes. Your programme is designed to be completed wherever is most practical for you, whether that is at home, at a gym or outdoors. Your physiotherapist will advise on any specific equipment or environment requirements.
This depends on your condition and stage of recovery. Your physiotherapist will prescribe specific sets, repetitions, and frequency as part of your programme and will update them as you progress.
If any exercise causes significant pain or discomfort, stop and contact the clinic. Your programme can be reviewed and adjusted at any point. Some mild discomfort during rehabilitation is normal, but your physiotherapist will guide you on what is and is not expected.
