Your Recovery Doesn’t Stop When You Leave Our Office.
Here’s the thing about our patients: we miss you between visits. Remote Therapeutic Monitoring gives us a way to check in on you more often, cheer on your progress, and be there for you on the days you’re not in our office.
Your in-person appointments are still the heart of your recovery at HARTZ PT. But a lot of your progress happens at home, and now your therapy team can be part of that too.
With a simple app on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, you’ll log your home exercises, your pain levels, and how you’re moving. Your therapist reviews what you share and checks in with you regularly. That way we can help you keep making steady progress, and step in early if something isn’t going well.
RTM is available to eligible Medicare patients at all six of our Lancaster County offices.
What is Remote Therapeutic Monitoring?
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is a Medicare-covered service that lets your physical therapist track your home exercises, pain, and progress through an app between visits, so they can adjust your care without waiting for your next appointment.
How It Works
- We get you set up. At your appointment, we’ll help you download the app and show you exactly how to use it. It’s a one-time step, and we’ll make sure you’re comfortable before you leave.
- You check in from home. On most days, you’ll spend a few minutes logging your exercises, your pain, and how you’re feeling. That’s it.
- Your therapy team reviews your progress. We keep an eye on what you send in, so we can see how your recovery is going without waiting for your next visit.
- We stay in touch. At least once a month, your therapist will connect with you for a quick virtual check-in by phone or video. It’s a chance to talk about how things are going at home, answer your questions, and adjust your plan if needed, so you get even more out of your in-person visits.
Why It Helps
- Catch problems early. If your pain flares or your progress stalls, we’ll know sooner and can act before it becomes a bigger setback.
- Adjust your plan sooner. No need to wait until your next appointment to change something that isn’t working.
- Stay on track. Regular check-ins help you keep up with your exercises and get more out of your therapy.
- Stay connected. Your therapist is with you between visits, not just during them.
It’s Your Choice
Taking part in RTM is completely voluntary. It won’t change any of the other care you receive from us, and you can stop whenever you’d like. Just let us know.
Your Privacy
Everything you share through the app is private and protected under HIPAA. Only your care team sees it, and it’s used only to support your treatment.
What You’ll Need
- A computer, smartphone, or tablet with an internet connection
- A few minutes on most days to log your progress
