AI physical therapy notes and PT SOAP notes

Your hands are on the patient.
We do the PT SOAP note.

ClinicFrame writes the PT record from the session: objective measurements, interventions and parameters, response and progress against each goal. Dictated while you treat, in SOAP or your clinic's own structure.

The hour after the last patient

Nobody denies the treatment. They deny the note you wrote at nine at night.

Medical necessity is reviewed more closely in physical therapy than in most specialties, and the whole argument lives in the documentation: the measurements, the skilled intervention, the response, the progress toward a specific goal. That is a lot to reconstruct from memory after nine patients, and reconstructed notes start to read the same every time, which is exactly what a reviewer denies.

Four points in a visit. We built for all four.

A treatment session stays between you and your patient.

01

HIPAA compliant

Encryption in transit and at rest, access controls and audit logs, on infrastructure built for protected health information.

02

BAA signed from day one

Signed on every account from the day you sign up, free trial included, so the agreement is in place before your first real session. No enterprise contract and no sales call.

03

Audio is never stored

The recording is used to write the note and then destroyed, so there is no audio library sitting on a server. The record is the note you reviewed and signed, and that stays yours.

04

Never trains on your patients

What your patients say is never used to train models, ours or anyone else's. It is written into the contract you sign, where a privacy policy cannot reach.

An initial evaluation and a twelfth visit are not the same note

Outpatient orthopedic PT

Built for

DPT, private and clinic practice

Why it is for you
You treat with your hands for forty-five minutes and then document range of motion, strength and functional change from memory, for every patient, all day.
What changes
  • Measurements captured as you call them during the session
  • Range of motion and strength grades recorded as stated
  • The note finished before the next patient is on the table
How we differ
Manual therapy leaves no hands for a keyboard. The measurements you already say out loud become the objective section.See how dictation works

Home health PT

Built for

In-home therapy

Why it is for you
You document in the car between houses, and the visit note has to justify skilled care in the home, which is the documentation payers question most.
What changes
  • Dictation in the car right after the visit
  • Home environment and safety findings captured as described
  • Skilled need documented from what you actually did
How we differ
Home health PT is audited on whether the care needed a skilled therapist. That argument lives in the note, and the note is written in a car.See how notes are exported

SNF and inpatient rehab

Built for

Skilled nursing and acute rehab

Why it is for you
Daily treatment notes over weeks, plus the minutes and modalities the MDS and Part B billing depend on, plus progress that has to be visible in the record itself.
What changes
  • Daily notes that stay specific instead of drifting into copy-paste
  • Treatment minutes and modalities recorded as you state them, never counted for you
  • Change from the last session made visible
How we differ
Weeks of daily notes is where documentation becomes identical paragraphs, and identical paragraphs are what a reviewer denies.See how the note is built

Sports and performance

Built for

Athletes, return to play

Why it is for you
Objective testing, load progression and return-to-play decisions that someone else may question later, including the athlete's team.
What changes
  • Test results and load progression recorded exactly as measured
  • Return-to-play reasoning documented at the time of the decision
  • Session-by-session progression visible across a rehab block
How we differ
A return-to-play decision gets reviewed after the fact. The reasoning has to be in the note from the day it was made.See custom templates

Pelvic health and neuro rehab

Built for

Specialized practice

Why it is for you
Long sessions, sensitive histories and findings that no general orthopedic template has fields for.
What changes
  • Your own template rather than an orthopedic structure
  • Sensitive histories documented without a recording kept
  • Functional outcomes tracked in the measures your specialty uses
How we differ
A general PT template forces specialized practice into the wrong fields. Build the structure once and every session after fits it.See the note formats

OT and speech therapy

Built for

Occupational and speech-language

Why it is for you
The same documentation load as PT, with even fewer tools built for the discipline: ADL performance, swallowing, communication goals.
What changes
  • ADL and functional performance captured as observed
  • Goals and progress in your discipline's language
  • One template shared across a multidisciplinary team
How we differ
OT and speech get treated as an afterthought by tools built for orthopedics. The goals and measures are different, and the note has to reflect that.See how editing and exporting works

Cash-based and hybrid practice

Built for

Direct pay, no insurance

Why it is for you
Nobody is auditing you, so documentation competes with everything else and quietly loses. Until you need a record and it is not there.
What changes
  • Documentation that costs almost nothing to produce
  • A defensible record even without a payer requiring it
  • Progress a patient can actually see between visits
How we differ
Cash-based practice makes documentation optional, which is exactly why it disappears. Reducing the cost to near zero is what keeps it.See how data is handled

Multi-clinic and franchise groups

Built for

Teams across locations

Why it is for you
Notes have to read the same across twenty therapists and five sites, or the group cannot defend its documentation as a whole.
What changes
  • One shared template across every therapist and site
  • Consistent objective sections regardless of who treated
  • A signed BAA covering the whole team
How we differ
In a group, documentation quality is set by the least consistent therapist. A shared structure applied at generation raises the floor.See how custom templates work

Not on this list? It works the same for athletic training, chiropractic and any practice documenting progress against functional goals.

The documents that decide whether PT care gets paid

Physical therapy is documented against goals and reviewed for medical necessity more closely than most specialties. These three carry that argument.

01

Initial evaluation

History, objective measurements, functional limitations, clinical reasoning, goals with timeframes and the plan of care. The longest document in a PT episode and the one everything after refers back to.

What comes backAn evaluation with objective measures, functional limitations, goals and plan of care.

02

Daily treatment note

What you did, with what parameters, how the patient responded and progress toward each goal. Plus the minutes and modalities that billing depends on.

What comes backA treatment note with interventions, parameters, response and progress per goal.

03

Re-evaluation and discharge

Measurements compared against the initial evaluation, goals met and unmet, and the reasoning for continuing, changing or discharging. The document a payer reads when deciding on more visits.

What comes backA comparison against baseline, goal status and the reasoning for the next phase.

What comes back

From the measurements to the note that gets paid

Visit eight of an authorized episode, post-operative knee. The measurements come from what you called out while your hands were busy.

This is how it transcribes

Illustrative example. No real patient data. Degrees, grades, sets and reps are transcribed exactly as you state them and are never estimated for you. You review and sign every note.

ClinicFrame recording a physical therapy visit, with the live transcript showing range of motion in degrees and manual muscle test grades called out, and a free-text notes field below it.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it write PT SOAP notes?

Yes. Subjective from the patient's report, objective from the measurements you call out during the session, assessment with your clinical reasoning, and plan. You can also build your own structure if your clinic documents differently, and set it as your default.

Does it capture range of motion and strength measurements?

Measurements are captured as you say them, including degrees of range of motion and manual muscle test grades. Saying them out loud during the session is faster than typing them after, and it is what you already do when working with an aide or a student.

Does the documentation support medical necessity?

The note carries what reviewers look for: objective measurements, functional limitations, the skilled intervention delivered, the patient's response and progress toward specific goals. Whether a specific claim or authorization is approved depends on the payer and the plan of care, but the documentation is not the weak link.

Can I document while my hands are on the patient?

That is the intended use. Manual therapy leaves no hands for a keyboard, so you narrate what you are finding and doing the way you already would, and it becomes the note. Nothing needs to be typed during the session.

Does it work for home health PT without reliable signal?

The session is saved while it runs rather than only at the end, so a dropped connection at a patient's home does not cost you the visit. You can dictate in the car right after and the note is drafted before the next address.

Is it useful for OT and speech-language pathology?

Yes, and both are treated as their own disciplines rather than a variation on PT. ADL performance, swallowing and communication goals are documented in the measures those fields use, and a multidisciplinary team can share one structure.

What happens to the audio from a session?

It is never stored. The audio is used to write the note and then destroyed, so there is no recording of a treatment session sitting on a server. Patient content is never used to train models, and a signed BAA comes with every account.

Will daily notes end up looking identical?

That is the failure mode this is meant to avoid. Each note is generated from that session, so the specific measurements, parameters and responses stay in it. Weeks of copy-pasted daily notes is one of the most common reasons continued care gets denied.
