Understanding the Different Types of Physical Therapy—And How HENO Has Their Back
Physical therapy is anything but one-size-fits-all. From helping someone walk again after surgery to supporting new moms through recovery, PTs wear a lot of hats (and sometimes a superhero cape or two).
Here’s a breakdown of the three key types of physical therapy—and how HENO’s all-in-one software makes each clinic’s life a whole lot easier.
Outpatient Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Who They Help:
These PT rockstars treat all things muscle, bone, and joint. Think:
- Fractures, sprains, and strains
- Joint replacements (hip, knee, shoulder—you name it)
- Sports injuries
- Recovery after surgery
What They Do:
Using a mix of manual therapy, exercise, and tools like heat, ice, and electrical stimulation, these therapists are pros at restoring function and getting people moving again.
How HENO Helps:
Orthopedic clinics love that HENO keeps everything—scheduling, billing, SOAP notes, and reporting—under one digital roof.
With time-saving tools like AI recorded SOAP Notes, RTM, customizable templates, real-time insurance checks, and automated documentation, your team spends less time clicking and more time caring.
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Who They Help:
These therapists specialize in care that’s often overlooked but deeply needed. They help patients with:
- Incontinence
- Pelvic pain
- Postpartum healing
- Sexual dysfunction
- Pelvic organ prolapse
What They Do:
Through gentle manual therapy, targeted exercises, and biofeedback, pelvic floor PTs help patients feel like themselves again. For some patients, that means the whole world!
How HENO Helps:
When you’re handling sensitive topics, patient trust is everything. HENO supports pelvic health clinics with secure portals, private intake forms, and smart reminders. It keeps communication discreet and seamless—just the way it should be.
And a BONUS: HENO’s features are located directly inside the HENO software, there are no Third-Party software logins or integrations required. This means your patient’s records and data are safe and you won’t have to worry about third party security breaches. Just one software with one log in and everything is at your fingertips.
Neurological Physical Therapy
Who They Help:
These PTs work with patients facing neurological challenges such as:
- Parkinson’s disease
- Stroke recovery
- Multiple sclerosis
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
What They Do:
They focus on improving movement, balance, and independence with specialized, adaptive exercise plans.
How HENO Helps:
Tracking progress is key—and HENO’s reporting tools deliver clear insights into how each patient is doing over time. HENO’s RTM feature can be crucial in helping these patient’s recover as it keeps home exercise plans top of mind and allows you to monitor progress, adjust plans, and engage with your patients in real time so they can worry less on if they’re doing their exercises right and more on healing. On top of that, HENO streamlines billing and keeps documentation quick and compliant, so therapists can stay focused on care, not paperwork.
One Feature That Helps Them All: RTM
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is like having a digital assistant that keeps tabs on your patients when they’re not in the clinic. Whether it’s:
- Strength training at home for orthopedic patients
- Daily pelvic floor exercises
- Balance drills after a stroke
HENO’s built-in RTM lets you track progress in real-time, adjust treatment plans on the fly, and keep patients accountable between visits. Oh—and did we mention you can bill up to $275 per patient every 60 days?
