Recommends 12 sessions. Patient feels better at session 4, stops coming. Pain returns in 3 weeks but they never come back because there's no follow-up system.
Home Exercises Never Done
"Do these exercises twice daily." Next session - patient forgot. Progress stalls, recovery slows, patient blames you. No systematic follow-up mechanism.
No-Shows Waste Treatment Slots
Patient books 45-minute slot, doesn't show up, doesn't call. That slot could've gone to someone in pain. Can't fill last-minute, revenue lost.
Doctor Referrals Don't Convert
Orthopedic sends patient with referral slip. Patient means to call, forgets. By the time they remember weeks later, pain worsened or they went elsewhere.
Post-Recovery Relapse
Patient recovers beautifully. 6 months later, same injury returns because they stopped maintenance exercises. No long-term engagement system to prevent relapse.
Package Confusion & Disputes
Patient buys 10-session package. At session 8, confusion about how many remain. Arguments about whether a session was "full treatment" or "quick check-up."

SESSION REMINDER
Hi Dmitry! Your physio session is tomorrow.
Date: Tomorrow, Dec 13
Time: 10:00 AM
Therapist: Dr. Mikhails (PT)
Location: PhysioPlus, Arbat
Before your session:
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing
- Avoid heavy meal 1 hour before

[Pressed: ✅ Confirm]
Perfect! See you tomorrow at 10:00 AM.
Quick tip: Come 10 minutes early for paperwork if it's your first visit!
24 hours before
SEQUENCE: Session Reminders
DAY -1 (24 hrs before): Send reminder with confirm/reschedule options
IF NO RESPONSE: Send 2nd reminder 4 hours before
IF RESCHEDULE: Trigger booking journey to select new slot
IF CONFIRM: Mark attendance expected
POST-SESSION: Trigger session summary + package balance update
How it works: 24-hour reminder allows rescheduling without slot waste. Preparation tips improve session quality. Simple CONFIRM/RESCHEDULE keywords make response easy. 2nd reminder catches last-minute no-shows. Reduces no-shows by 60-70%.
Workflow tip: If patient repeatedly reschedules (3+ times), alert therapist - may indicate low commitment.

Daily Home Exercise Reminders
SequenceStarter+ $29
Send daily exercise reminders with video guides - the key to better outcomes between sessions.
YOUR HOME EXERCISES
Hi Dmitry! Here's your exercise program:
DO THESE DAILY (Morning & Evening):
1. Cat-Cow Stretch
10 reps, hold 5 sec each
Video: [link]
2. Bird-Dog Exercise
8 reps each side, hold 10 sec
Video: [link]
3. Knee-to-Chest Stretch
Hold 30 sec each leg, 3 times
Video: [link]
IMPORTANT:
- Stop if sharp pain
- Mild discomfort is normal
- Do on firm surface (floor/mat)
I'll send daily reminders!
MORNING EXERCISE TIME!
Good morning Dmitry!
Time for your exercises:
1. Cat-Cow (10 reps)
2. Bird-Dog (8 each side)
3. Knee-to-Chest (30 sec hold)
Takes just 10-15 minutes!
[Pressed: ✅ Done]
Great job! That's 5 days in a row!
Consistency is key to recovery. Keep it up!
How did it feel today?
Daily
SEQUENCE: Home Exercise Program
AFTER SESSION: Send personalized exercise list with videos
DAILY 8 AM: Send morning exercise reminder
DAILY 6 PM: Send evening exercise reminder
WHEN "DONE": Track compliance, ask pain feedback
IF NO RESPONSE 2 DAYS: Send motivational message
WEEKLY: Send compliance summary to therapist
How it works: Video guides ensure correct form. Daily reminders drive compliance (studies show reminders increase adherence by 40-60%). "DONE" tracking creates accountability. Pain feedback (green/yellow/red) prevents injury. Streak counter motivates. Therapist sees compliance data before next session.
Workflow tip: Customize exercise sequences per patient. Tag by condition (back-pain-exercises, knee-rehab-exercises) for easy updates.

Treatment Dropout Prevention
CampaignStarter+ $29
Re-engage patients who stopped coming mid-treatment - bring them back before relapse.
WE MISS YOU!
Hi Dmitry! It's been a week since your last session.
TREATMENT STATUS:
Completed: 5 of 12 recommended sessions
Remaining: 7 sessions
I understand life gets busy, but incomplete treatment often leads to relapse.
The progress you've made (pain from 8/10 to 4/10!) is great - let's not lose it.
What's holding you back?
☰ Select Reason
📅 Scheduling conflicts
😊 Feeling better already
💰 Cost concerns
📝 Something else
[Selected: 😊 Feeling better already]
I'm glad you're feeling better! That's a sign the treatment is working.
However, feeling better ≠ fully healed. The underlying issue often needs more work to prevent recurrence.
Here's what I suggest:
Let's do 2-3 more sessions to:
- Strengthen the area fully
- Teach maintenance exercises
- Reduce relapse risk by 70%
Would you like to book a session?
We can reassess and decide together.
1 week since last session
CAMPAIGN: Dropout Prevention
TRIGGER: 7 days since last session + incomplete treatment plan
TARGET: Patients tagged "in-treatment" who haven't completed plan
STEP 1: Send re-engagement message with progress data
STEP 2: Ask reason (scheduling/better/cost/other)
STEP 3: Address objection with personalized response
IF SCHEDULING: Offer evening/weekend slots
IF BETTER: Explain importance of completion
IF COST: Offer flexible payment or modified plan
STEP 4: Offer easy booking option
How it works: Progress data shows value of continuation. Reason categories help address specific objections. Medical rationale for "feeling better" group (most common). Flexible options for cost concerns. Recovers 25-35% of dropouts. Prevents relapse calls 2 months later.
Workflow tip: If patient doesn't respond to first message, send 2nd after another week with "final reminder" tone.

Post-Recovery Maintenance
CampaignStarter+ $29
Stay connected after treatment completion - prevent relapse with maintenance tips and check-ins.
MONTHLY CHECK-IN
Hi Dmitry! It's been a month since you completed your back treatment.
How are you feeling?
Rate your current status:
Also, are you still doing maintenance exercises?
[Pressed: 🟡 Some Discomfort] [Pressed: ⚠️ Sometimes]
Thanks for letting me know.
Let's not let this get worse.
QUICK TIPS:
- Resume your exercises (videos attached)
- Check sitting posture at work
- Take stretch breaks every hour
If discomfort continues for more than a week, let's do a tune-up session.
Early intervention prevents full relapse!
Monthly after treatment
CAMPAIGN: Post-Recovery Maintenance
TRIGGER: Monthly, for patients who completed treatment
TARGET: Patients tagged "treatment-completed"
STEP 1: Ask pain status (green/yellow/red) + exercise compliance (A/B/C)
IF GREEN + A: Congratulate, send maintenance tips
IF YELLOW/RED OR B/C: Send intervention message
STEP 2: Offer tune-up session if needed
STEP 3: Resend exercise videos
GOAL: Catch issues early, prevent full relapse
How it works: Monthly touchpoint catches issues early. Quick emoji response is easy (higher response rate). Exercise videos resent as reminder. Tune-up option before full relapse (cheaper than full treatment restart). Positive reinforcement for green/A responses. Prevents "pain is back, starting from scratch" scenarios.
Workflow tip: Continue monthly check-ins for 6 months, then quarterly for 1 year. Prevents long-term relapse.

Within 2 hours of referral
JOURNEY: Doctor Referral Conversion
TRIGGER: Receptionist adds referral to system with doctor name + condition
STEP 1: Immediate outreach with doctor's name (builds trust)
STEP 2: Treatment overview with session estimate
STEP 3: Show available slots (tomorrow + day after for urgency)
STEP 4: Confirm appointment
STEP 5: Send reminder to referring doctor (maintains relationship)
STEP 6: Add to session reminder sequence
How it works: Immediate outreach (within 2 hours) captures motivated patients. Doctor's name builds instant trust. Treatment overview sets expectations. Multiple slots increase conversion. Flexible "other time" option. Referring doctor notification maintains professional relationship (they appreciate knowing patient booked). Converts 60-70% of referrals vs. 30-40% when patients call themselves.
Workflow tip: Weekly report to referring doctors showing how many patients booked strengthens doctor relationships.

After final session
SEQUENCE: Feedback Collection
TRIGGER: After final session of treatment plan
STEP 1: Send completion celebration + feedback request

IF 1-3: Ask what could be better, escalate to clinic manager
STEP 3: Thank for feedback
STEP 4: Send maintenance exercise reminder
STEP 5: Move to monthly maintenance check-in campaign
How it works: Completion celebration feels good (positive association). Progress summary reinforces value. Simple 1-5 rating gets high response. Google review link ready for happy patients. Unhappy patients handled privately (no public damage). Referral ask at peak satisfaction. Even 2-3 reviews per week = 100+ reviews per year = massive trust builder.
Workflow tip: Only request Google reviews for 4-5 ratings. For 1-3, fix the issue first, then request review later.
