Searching for Exercises in the Library

4.) You will then be redirected to the exercise creation page where you can search for and select exercises to assign to the patient.

5.) To search an exercise, you can make use of the search bar located on the top-left of the page. 

Narrow your search by making use of the filter to the right of the search bar.

To remove a filter, simply click the 'x' button on the selected filter. To remove all the filters applied, click the "Clear All" button (in red.)

Further narrow your search down by typing a word within the filtered results.

9.) We have over 7,500 exercise videos in our database. If in the event you are unable to find the exercise you're looking for, you have the option of doing the following:

a. Adding a custom exercise — Providers can add their own customized exercise to a patients prescription. The Exercise can either be saved to their exercises, allowing it to be available to them only, to the clinic exercises, allowing it to be available to the entire clinic, or both. 

• To do this, simply click on the " + or Add Exercise" button.

• Fill in the Exercise Name, Instructions, Parameters (# of sets, reps and hold.) Video URL, and Exercise Thumbnail Image (Note that we have the option for automatically generating suggested thumbnails from a video link. Providers do not have to manually create and upload a thumbnail image every time they add a new custom exercise).  Check the "Save to My Exercises" or "Save to Clinic Exercises" boxes to save the Custom Exercise.
