Home exercise program software that keeps working between visits
Build a program your way in minutes, send it to an app your patients want to open, and see who’s keeping up before the next visit, in one platform built for physical therapy and orthopedic clinics.
“It’s the best HEP and RTM platform we’ve used.”
Most HEP platforms stop at the send button
Prescribing was solved years ago. The weeks after it are where programs fall apart, and most clinics only find out by asking at the next visit.
of prescribed home exercise was fully completed, by patients’ own report, in a study of physiotherapy patients.
Peek et al., New Zealand Journal of Physiotherapy, 2018A plateau looks like a skipped program
When progress stalls, the first question is whether the patient did the work. Without data the answer is a guess, and the plan changes on the wrong premise.
You find out after it matters
A patient who stopped in week two arrives in week four having lost ground. The message that would have helped was due on day nine.
Build every program your way in minutes
A therapist-built library, every parameter set per patient, and your own exercises and protocols right beside it.
“The ability to easily build my own custom exercises and upload the video in minutes is amazing.”
- Every parameterSets, reps, frequency, hold, tempo, side, resistance and rest, set for the patient in front of you.
- Your cueingWrite it the way you taught it in the room, so the patient hears the same thing at home.
- Your own exercisesRecord your own exercise video and it’s ready to prescribe in minutes, for everyone on your team.
- Your protocolsBuild the programs your clinic runs most once, then start from them and adjust for each patient.
- Changes reach the patientProgress the program mid-episode and the patient’s app updates, with nothing to reprint.
The Orva library is comprehensive and deliberately lean. Therapists built it around the exercises and progressions clinicians prescribe, so the right one is fast to find and easy to set exactly your way.
An app your patients want to open
It’s the 2020s, not the 1970s. Your patients bank, travel and refill prescriptions from their phones, and their home program should meet the same standard.
Today’s program, ready to go
Patients open the app and see what to do today, with a video for every exercise and your cueing attached.
Reminders and streaks
Reminders and visible streaks keep patients going through the weeks when progress is hard to feel.
Pain check-ins and outcome surveys
Short check-ins and validated outcome measures come back to your team alongside the exercise data.
Messages with their therapist
When something feels off on day three, patients ask you instead of guessing or stopping.
In a randomized trial, people with musculoskeletal conditions stuck to their home exercise programs better on an app with remote support than on paper handouts.
Lambert et al., Journal of Physiotherapy, 2017“Our patients frequently tell us how much they appreciate the app. It has helped them stay compliant and feel more connected to their care.”
See who’s keeping up before the next visit
Completions, pain and progress come back every day, and Orva flags the patients who are drifting so your team can step in that week.
- Flagged adherence, so no patient quietly falls behind
- Pain and symptom trends next to every completed session
- Validated outcome measures built into the recovery flow
“So user-friendly for both the patients and therapists.”
The same daily data supports RTM
Remote therapeutic monitoring is a defined service that Medicare reimburses in all 50 states, and it runs on the day-level engagement Orva records for every patient.
Orva clinics run on these EMRs and more. Many chose Orva over the home exercise and RTM tools built into their EMR, because Orva works.

What therapists ask before switching
The quickest way to answer the rest is to build a program for your next patient.
How big is the Orva exercise library?
Comprehensive and deliberately lean. Therapists built it around the exercises and progressions clinicians prescribe, rather than piling up variations to win a feature comparison.
What matters more is how fast you can find the right exercise, how fully you can tailor it, and whether your own content sits beside it.
Can we add our own exercises and protocols?
Yes. Record your own exercise video or build a post-op protocol once, and it works like everything else in the library. It’s searchable, prescribable, reusable across your team and adjustable for each patient.
How much can we customize a prescription?
Sets, reps, frequency, hold time, tempo, side, resistance, rest and the instructions the patient reads, all set per patient and per exercise.
How long does it take to build a program?
Minutes, and less when you start from a saved clinic protocol. The goal is to finish during or right after the visit, while the patient is still in front of you.
Will our patients use it?
It’s the 2020s, not the 1970s. Your patients run their money, travel and prescriptions from their phones, and they bring that expectation to their recovery. Orva is a consumer-grade mobile app built to that standard.
The research points the same way. In a randomized trial, patients stuck to their home programs better on an app with remote support than on paper handouts. The best test is your own caseload, which is what the free trial is for.
We tried a HEP tool before and patients didn’t use it. Why would Orva be different?
Most exercise tools were built to deliver content and treat whether the patient opens it as someone else’s problem. Orva is built around the patient’s day, with today’s program, reminders and messages, and around what your team does with the data that comes back.
Do we have to bill RTM to use Orva?
No. Cash-pay clinics use Orva with RTM billing turned off, and the patient experience stays the same.
Does Orva replace our EMR?
No. Orva runs alongside your EMR and covers the time between visits. Notes, scheduling and billing stay where they are, and Orva clinics run on WebPT, Prompt, Athelas, HelloNote, Stride, TheraOffice and more.
Do patients need a smartphone?
For the app, yes. Patients without one can stay on your current approach while the rest of your caseload moves to Orva.
What should a clinic look for in home exercise program software?
Five things. A patient app people will open every day, not a link or a printout. Adherence data your therapists can see before the next visit. A library you can extend with your own exercises and protocols. A fit with the EMR you already run. And for clinics that bill Medicare, automatic tracking of days and minutes so the same data supports RTM. Orva covers all five, and the 7-day free trial is the quickest way to check it against your current tool. For a side-by-side look, read the best home exercise program software for physical therapy.
What does it cost?
Our pricing is based on results. The fastest way to see whether Orva fits your clinic is the 7-day free trial, with no credit card required.

These studies describe home exercise generally, not results specific to Orva. The RTM figure uses 2026 Medicare national average non-facility rates for 98975 ($21.71) once, then 98977 ($51.44) and 98980 ($54.11) in each of three months. Actual payment varies by payer, locality and documentation, and this is not billing advice. See the RTM overview for thresholds and requirements.
