Patient Information

Rehab Guru is a digital exercise prescription tool which allows clinicians to assigned exercise programmes and perform remote monitoring. This page aims to give those receiving Rehab Guru programmes more information about what it is and how your clinician is using it to deliver care.

What is Rehab Guru?

Rehab Guru is a tool which assists medical and sports professionals to deliver and monitor exercise programmes. You're likely to be reading this page because you have been issued such an exercise programme and you wish to learn more about why your clinician is using Rehab Guru. Firstly, over a number of years we have become a highly trusted service, delivering high quality software which was founded and remains led by experienced medical professionals. Rehab Guru is the go to platform for organisations such as the NHS and UK Ministry of Defence.

Rehab Guru provides a huge library of exercise, which are modelled by physiotherapists and strength and conditioning experts to provide a clear demonstration of how to perform the exercise. There are 100's of customisation options which allow clinicians to tailor an exercise programme to target the exact prescription which is required to treat your medical condition. This point is emphasised, as historically medical professionals have lacked the tools to create bespoke and individualised exercise programmes in an efficient way, this is why they have chosen Rehab Guru.

What Rehab Guru cannot help with

As highlighted above in the data protection and data security sections, we take privacy, information security and confidentiality very seriously. Because of this, the Rehab Guru support team are unable to offer advice on the following:

  • Advice on the exercises, reps, sets or other parameters or any medical / clinical questions - these questions must be directed to your clinician and not the Rehab Guru team, we are unable to help with injury or programme specifics.
  • Re-sending exercise programmes, providing programme ID's or client pin numbers - Rehab Guru are unable to comply with such requests are we do not have permission to access the your clinician's data. Requests for lost information must go to your programme issuing clinician.
  • Respond to patient data Subject Access Requests - in accordance with GDPR, you have the legal right to request a copy of the information that is held on you by the Data Controller. As a patient, your data controller is the person who issued you an exercise programme, not Rehab Guru. Our GDPR Policy highlights the difference between a Data Controller and Data Processor. Rehab Guru are the Data Processor on the behalf of the Data Controller, which is likely to be the individual clinician or their organisations.
  • Injury advice - Despite having a number of physiotherapists and clinical experts on our team, we are unable to offer injury advice or diagnosis. It should also be made clear that Rehab Guru is not a self-directed, or self-help system. All exercise programmes should be assigned to you by a trained professional.
