BloomText is HIPAA-compliant texting for physical therapy and rehabilitation clinics. Text patients from a dedicated clinic number — they receive secure links over SMS and reply from any phone, no app download. Your front desk, PTs, and clinic managers share visibility into patient conversations, and broadcast messaging reaches your full patient list for schedule changes and office announcements. Every message is logged, with a signed BAA on every plan.
Communication problems PT clinics deal with every day
Clinicians Texting Patients From Personal Phones
PTs and front-desk staff default to personal cell phones for patient questions, follow-ups, and scheduling changes. There is no audit trail, no shared visibility, and no way to separate work from personal life. When a clinician leaves, those conversations leave with them.
Patients Lost to Follow-Up After Discharge
A discharged patient should hear from your clinic a few weeks out — a check-in on how they are feeling, whether symptoms returned, or if they need another visit. Without a simple way to send that message, the follow-up does not happen and the patient does not come back.
Phone Tag for Appointments and Schedule Changes
Confirming tomorrow's appointments, notifying patients of a schedule change, and filling a last-minute cancellation means rounds of unreturned phone calls. A text gets read in minutes — a voicemail sits until the slot is gone.
How does BloomText help Physical Therapy practices?
Text Patients Securely — No App Required
Send appointment confirmations, follow-ups, and care updates from a dedicated clinic number. Patients receive secure links over normal SMS and reply from any phone — no app download, no portal setup, no patient onboarding. Works for every age group, including older patients who will not install another app.
Post-Discharge Follow-Up
Send a check-in message to patients weeks after discharge to ask how they are feeling and whether they need to return. Your team sends each follow-up when the time is right — a simple outbound text that keeps the patient connected to your clinic without requiring a phone call.
Secure Document Sharing
Share evaluations, care plans, exercise instructions, and intake paperwork through secure messaging. Patients receive documents as PDFs they can download and refer back to — encrypted in transit and at rest, with access controls for your compliance team.
Broadcast Messaging
Send office closures, schedule openings, and practice announcements to a group of patients in one broadcast. Import your patient list from a CSV, compose the message, and send — your front-desk staff trigger each send so you control the message and timing. Recipients who reply STOP are automatically blocked from future campaigns.
Broadcast Replies Stay Private
When a patient replies to a broadcast, their response lands in a private one-to-one conversation with your team — not in a group thread. No patient sees another patient's reply, and your staff can continue the conversation individually from there.
Shared Inbox for Front Desk and Clinical Staff
Patient conversations belong to your clinic, not one person's phone. Front-desk staff, PTs, and clinic managers all see the same inbox and can pick up any conversation. When someone is out, coverage continues without a hand-off.
After-Hours Auto Replies and Do Not Disturb
Set an automatic reply on your clinic schedule so patients who message after hours know when to expect a response. Individual staff can enable Do Not Disturb during off hours and PTO, so work messages stay at work.
No Annual Contract Required
See pricing on the website and start on a monthly plan — no annual commitment required. Your clinic can sign up and start messaging patients the same day, and scale up as patient volume grows.
