For physical therapy, rehabilitation and outpatient clinics. From patient service teams to practitioners and managers.

A physical therapist listens to a patient in a bright rehabilitation clinic.

Every interaction shapes the patient experience.

Physical therapy & rehab

The first visit, the follow-up and the conversation when a plan is hard to fit into everyday life. Practice understanding the patient’s perspective and involving them in the conversation.

Reception & patient services

Bookings, waiting times and practical questions before a visit. Practice responding to concerns, explaining what happens next and helping patients reach the right person.

Conversations that shape the patient experience

Practice when communication matters most.

Choose situations from your everyday work. From the first phone call to a follow-up that has not gone as the patient hoped.

Understand the concern
Physical therapy · first visit
“I’m afraid I’ll do something that makes it worse.”
Practice making room for concerns and asking follow-up questions before explaining. Distinguish between acknowledging a feeling and promising a particular outcome.
Make the next step clear
Reception · before a visit
“I’ve received the information, but I don’t know what to do now.”
Practice explaining preparations, contact details and next steps in everyday language. Check what the patient has understood and what is still unclear.
Explore everyday barriers
Rehab · follow-up
“I haven’t managed to do the exercises.”
Listen without blame. Find out what has been difficult and let the patient describe what support is missing before moving on.
Respond to disappointment
Rehab · expectations
“I don’t think this is helping.”
Practice understanding expectations, summarizing what you have heard and clarifying further contact. Clinical judgment remains with the responsible healthcare professional.

Leadership at the clinic

Make communication easier to talk about.

Give managers and supervisors space to practice feedback, difficult conversations and shared expectations. With specific situations from the team’s everyday work.

A manager and a physical therapist have a coaching conversation at the clinic.

Example · feedback to a colleague

A colleague explains the plan carefully but moves on when the patient says it is hard to fit into daily life. How do you raise it without putting the colleague on the defensive?

An opening to try

“When the patient said it was hard to find time, you moved on to the next instruction. What did you find out about what was getting in the way?”

Describe what you observed, listen to your colleague’s perspective and agree on something specific to try. For example, a follow-up question before the next explanation.

Explore leadership training

Follow the practice. Listen to patients.

A good exercise result and a satisfied patient are different things. Follow both to understand what needs improving.

Insights · training

Studies · patient experience

What was clear after the visit?

“How did you find the information about the next step?”

Common questions

Good to know before you start.

Which organizations and roles is the training for?

This page focuses on physical therapy, rehabilitation and outpatient clinics. Practitioners can practice patient conversations, reception staff can work on practical questions and communication, and managers can practice coaching and feedback. Adapt each scenario to the role’s responsibilities.

Does the AI assess treatment or medical competence?

No. These exercises assess communication against criteria such as listening, clarity and participation. Training does not replace clinical supervision, medical judgment, licensing or other professional authorization.

Do we need to use real patient information?

No. Use fictional patients and situations without medical records or other information that could identify a real patient. You do not need to record actual patient interactions. Review source material and data handling against your internal requirements.

Who can see employees’ practice conversations?

Authorized managers and administrators can read participants’ transcripts and feedback. Conversations are therefore not private between the participant and the AI. Explain the purpose and access to employees before training begins.

Can we start with a single conversation?

Yes. Start with a recurring patient conversation or a situation managers need to practice. Activities can be used independently. When you want to combine knowledge, practice and assessment, you can organize them in a Journey.
