How Comprehend is Transforming Physical Therapy Documentation: Real Stories from Real Clinicians

Documentation has long been the burden that follows physical therapists home after hours, eats away at productivity, and detracts from patient care. But Comprehend is changing that—and clinicians across the country are raving about the impact.

From solo practitioners to high-volume outpatient clinics, physical therapists are experiencing less stress, improved efficiency, and better patient engagement—all thanks to Comprehend’s AI-powered documentation assistant.

Save Hours Every Week

One of the most consistent themes across user feedback is how much time Comprehend saves.

“Without exaggeration, it is now saving me at a very conservative estimate of 10 hours per week of AFTER HOURS paperwork—if not 15+.”

Ehren Trost, Active Care Erie

“Since I got this, I haven’t taken my computer home to do notes once. That was a regular thing for me for the past 10 years.”

Steven Churchill, CORA Health

Clinicians no longer dread catching up on notes at night or over the weekend. Instead, they’re reclaiming personal time, reducing burnout, and even seeing more patients.

“I had five evaluations on Thursday... and I managed to finish all my notes and even had 30 extra minutes to spare! I’ve never done that before.”

Poonam Hurley, Upstream

Boost Documentation Quality

Comprehend doesn’t just make documentation faster—it makes it better. Many users report that their notes are clearer, more complete, and more professional.

“The quality of our notes is so much better now… a huge improvement over the quick, minimal-effort notes we used to submit.”

Eric Steed, Upstream

“The AI-generated documentation is incredibly accurate and easy to edit when needed.”

Alec Courtney

And when documentation improves, so does everything else: fewer follow-up calls from insurance, fewer questions from physicians, and greater confidence in clinical reporting.

Improve Patient Connection

By reducing the distraction of manual note-taking, Comprehend lets providers fully engage with patients.

“I have been able to walk into my appointments with better focus on the patient in front of me… My patients have felt the change in our visits.”

Jay Cherok, PT, DPT, Cert. MSKUS

“I can now do an evaluation in 30 seconds! It’s saving me so much time.”

Gregory Musgnug, DPT

One user summed it up perfectly:

“I can’t even remember the last time I went to a physician and they weren’t glued to their computer. Being able to sit down, have a real conversation… that’s a win for the patient.”

Matt Foley, Upstream

Seamless EMR Integration

Comprehend’s ability to integrate directly with EMRs like PROMPT, WebPT, and others means less manual work, no copying and pasting, and better workflow continuity.

“It integrates directly into my EMR system without copying and pasting information over.”

Bethany Hainje, Team Rehab

“Comprehend PT has been a game-changer… significantly improved the efficiency and timeliness of documentation.”

Jay Schultz

HIPAA-Compliant and Audit-Ready

For clinicians concerned about security and compliance, Comprehend meets the highest standards.

“What sets this software apart is its HIPAA compliance, allowing it to safely record and process information throughout entire patient encounters.”

Erson Religioso

“It provides audit-ready documentation… making it a game-changer for both efficiency and compliance.”

Eric Manalansan

Bonus Benefits: Burnout Reduction, Staff Happiness, and Better Work-Life Balance

Comprehend isn’t just a documentation tool—it’s a culture shift for clinics.

“Everybody in the clinic is happier, so thank you for doing what you do!”

Shannon King

“I know it’s taken a ton of stress out of my work week and home life.”

Alan Savanapridi

“You would be foolish not to use this in your clinic.”

Emelia Brogna, Wayfinder VT
