MEMBER BENEFITS: Asics Professional Buyers Program

Pros:

• Compliance and feedback from my patients was good especially over lockdown when exercise prescription was very challenging. • Over 4,000 exercises on the system. • Simple, easy to use interface. • Patients have the option to record and upload videos of their exercises for extra accuracy and accountability. • Can send or print PDF version of exercise program which includes diary to complete daily exercises. • Videos are easy to follow, and instructions are comprehensive – you are able to add extra notes also. • Did I mention it’s free!!

Cons:

• It’s a new app so there are many exercises missing, quite a bit of doubling up, and limited gym equipment use. However, you are able to email the Telehab team with your selected exercises to upload and they are very forthcoming. (Looks like Pilates reformer and gym exercises won’t be far away if their social media profile is anything to go by). • One of my issues is the limited set/rep/timing options with certain exercises. • I’ve been using “The Rehab Lab” for so many years takes me much longer to design a program and insert individual patient details!
