Remote Therapeutic Monitoring, or RTM, extends your physical therapy care beyond the clinic. It allows your care team to stay connected to your recovery in the days between appointments — tracking your participation with your home exercise program, understanding how you’re responding, and helping you stay on track.
Our RTM and home exercise program are provided through Wibbi Vive. Accessible on any device, Wibbi Vive allows patients to access videos and instructions for their assigned exercises, mark exercises as completed and provide feedback about how they are feeling about each exercise.
Patients enrolled in RTM are assigned a monitoring therapist who helps navigate your home program and track your progress. Your monitoring therapist is available to answer questions, troubleshoot your exercises, make adjustments to your home exercise program, and communicate with your primary treating therapist between visits.
Physical therapy is about more than getting through each appointment — it’s about building the strength and confidence to return to the life and activities you care about. Your home exercise program is where a lot of that progress happens. RTM makes sure you’re never doing it alone.
Instead of simply being given a list of exercises to complete on your own, RTM allows you to have a team supporting and encouraging you through every step of your recovery whether you’re at home or in the clinic.
Access your personalized program through Wibbi Vive and follow the instructions and videos to complete your program as recommended by your treating therapist.
Record which exercises you complete each day and share how difficult those exercises were for you to perform so your care team has a better understanding of your progress between visits.
Your monitoring therapist communicates with you directly through text, email, phone, or through the Wibbi Vive chat — whatever works best for you.
If you’re having difficulty with an exercise, experiencing pain, or don’t understand part of your program, your monitoring therapist can help troubleshoot the problem. If something needs additional attention, they can communicate directly with your treating therapist, so everyone stays connected.
Your monitoring therapist is a real, licensed professional — not an automated chatbot or AI virtual assistant. They work alongside your treating physical therapist to create a circle of support around your recovery, so you’re never simply handed a list of exercises and left to figure it out on your own.
RTM extends your care between visits and give you another layer of support to help enhance your recovery.
At Seattle Rehab Specialists, we believe successful physical therapy is about more than what happens during your scheduled appointments. RTM allows us to extend our People First approach to care beyond the walls of our clinic.
Our goal isn’t to simply give you a list of exercises. We want you to understand your program, feel confident performing it, and have access to support when questions or problems arise.
The result is a more connected approach to physical therapy – in the clinic and at home.
RTM is available to Seattle Rehab Specialists patients regardless of insurance provider.
Participation is your choice.
Before RTM is activated, our team will explain the program, answer your questions, and discuss any costs associated with the service with you.
You’ll then have the opportunity to opt in or opt out.
Our goal is for you to understand exactly what RTM is and how it can support your physical therapy care so you can make an informed decision about whether you’d like to participate.
No pressure. No surprises. Just another way for our team to help support your recovery.

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring is an extension of your physical therapy care that helps your care team stay connected with your recovery between appointments. Through Wibbi Vive and communication with your monitoring therapist, we can monitor your home exercise participation, understand how you’re responding to your program, and help address questions or problems that arise between visits.
A significant portion of rehabilitation happens outside the clinic. We want our patients to have support during that part of their recovery too. RTM creates another connection between you and your care team so that questions, exercise difficulties, or changes in symptoms don’t always have to wait until your next appointment.
You are communicating with a real person – not an AI agent or automated chatbot. Your monitoring therapist is a licensed professional working remotely as part of the Seattle Rehab Specialists care team. They serve as a liaison between you and your in-clinic physical therapy team when you’re not attending PT visits. They can help answer questions, troubleshoot your home exercise program, and communicate directly with your treating therapist when needed. Technology helps us stay connected, but your care and communication come from real healthcare professionals.

Communication can occur through text, email, phone, or features within Wibbi Vive, depending on your preferred method of communication. Your monitoring therapist can also use Wibbi Vive to help you successfully complete and progress your home exercise program.
This is one of the reasons we offer RTM. Your monitoring therapist is a licensed and skilled professional who can help you troubleshoot your home exercise program.
