PT sessions with Krista and Shwetta

I have been a client at Forever Fitness for a few months. I saw Shwetta for the first month for dry needling and PT for my chronic back pain. The office staff is friendly and efficient. For the last two weeks I have seen Krista and we revised my treatment schedule to a longterm plan for my chronic back pain. I have had back pain for the last twenty five years. Over the last three years I have also had chronic toe ulcers which limited my mobility substantially.
In the last two weeks I feel so much better. Krista and I discussed the mind-body connection for chronic pain. We started a series of exercises and I can already feel a dramatic difference in my back pain. The video series that accompanies the treatment program is easy to follow and she even gave me a separate aquatic program that I will use while on vacation in Florida over the next few weeks. I will provide updates as I progress in the program, but so far it is substantially better. For the first time in many years. Thanks to Krista and Shwetta for their continued support in this long process.

Could be so much better with a little work

This has the basic building blocks for a good tracking app but they fall well short. When I go to do my exercises and call up this app on my phone, I then lay the phone down on the floor while I’m typically laying on my back doing the exercises. It’s not enough for them to simply, have a female voice, saying, begin, rest, and have a bunch of bing bong’s. If I have a list of four exercises, the program needs to call out which exercise I’m doing at the number of reps and hold times. When I move onto the next exercise, it needs to tell me. Doing that, by simply announcing the title of the exercise, and how many reps I am to do. the way it is organized right now all it does is start flying through the different exercises going to start, stop, begin, bing bong, bing bong. I don’t even know what exercise I’m doing, unless I reached out and grab the phone and take a look at it. Also, the videos that are going along side. The timer are not actually tracking their reps at the correct speed relative to the timer. Again, the building blocks are there, but they just have an executed very well on this. Try taking your own app sometimes guys do the work lay on the floor. Listen to your app and then ask yourself whether this is really cutting it. I think you’ll figure out how to make it better real quick

Great app, needs a few upgrades

I really love how this app works for the most part. I don't have to remember everything my PT gives me, I don't even have to worry about counting because all exercises are set to a timer so I can just focus on doing it right. I love that it has the videos combined with the instructions and tips.

My reason for 4 stars has to do specifically with not being able to focus on the exercises I want to in my program during each session. For example, if I'm not feeling good in my shoulder and I just want to skip to the hip exercises that day, i don't have any option on my end to uncheck the shoulder exercises before starting the program. Instead, I have to skip them to get to my hip exercises, but then it marks all the exercises as complete even though I didn't do the shoulder. I wish I could just pick the ones from my program that I want to do for now and just log those. It would help me and my PT to see what I'm doing more or less of. I'd also like the option to move exercises around in the order I want to do them. Sometimes it feels better to start with certain exercises than others, but again this is not an option. Add these features and I'll definitely give it 5 stars.
