What matters for physical therapy clinics

  • Works with PMS via export or connector
  • Clear opt-in/opt-out for patient messages
  • Front-desk friendly UX
  • Vendor security docs (HIPAA BAA when required)

Recall & patient reactivation (email + SMS)

Layer on top of your practice management system — not a clinical or scheduling replacement.

Multi-location or cosmetic acquisition

For marketing teams running segments, landing pages, and lifecycle campaigns.

Referral partner tracking (light CRM)

Only if you track referring providers — skip if you only need patient campaigns.
