Osteopathy

Patient communication built for osteopathic practices.

Osteopathy patients want a practitioner who treats the cause,not just the symptoms.ExperClinic handles the recurring-visit reminders,the 90-day reactivation, and the reviews from patientswho finally felt heard about the whole picture.

ExperClinic is a patient communication platform for osteopathic practices. After every session, patients get an SMS with two options: leave a Google review or send private feedback. The same platform sends 24 and 48 hour appointment reminders, runs a 90-day reactivation window, and supports DOMP, M.OMSc, and DO credential attribution.

What it does

What osteopathic practices use ExperClinic for

Three jobs in a holistic, recurring-visit specialty.

1

Reviews from a holistic-health audience

Osteopathy attracts patients who care as much about the philosophy as the result. Their reviews are nuanced: "treated the cause, not just symptoms", "actually listened to the whole picture". ExperClinic sends a review request after every completed session with the 45-day per-patient cooldown that prevents over-asking.

2

Reminders for recurring sessions

Osteopathic treatment plans are typically weekly to bi-weekly for several sessions, then maintenance. Two reminders, 48 and 24 hours before each session, hold the cadence. Default-on for osteopathy. Patients can confirm or reschedule from the SMS thread.

3

90-day reactivation for ongoing care

Osteopathy patients on maintenance plans drift between visits. ExperClinic checks every day for patients past their 90-day window and sends a customizable SMS to bring them back when the gap was meant to be temporary.

The problem

Why osteopathic practices struggle with reviews and retention

Three problems specific to a holistic-health practice.

Discovery is word-of-mouth

Osteopathy is found through recommendation.

Patients new to osteopathy almost always come in because someone they trust recommended it. But before booking, they check Google reviews. A practitioner with 200 recent positive reviews wins where the recommendation gets them in the door and the reviews close the booking.

Maintenance drift

Patients on maintenance quietly stop coming.

Patients in active treatment come in weekly. Once they shift to maintenance, the visits slow to monthly, then quarterly, then they vanish. Without automated reactivation, the practice loses long-term relationships that should have been maintained.

Insurance ambiguity

Insurance coverage drops some patients mid-plan.

Osteopathy is partially covered or not covered by many insurance plans. A patient who hits a cap or has a coverage change drops mid-treatment. Without reactivation, they may not come back when their next year of coverage opens.

How it helps

How does ExperClinic help osteopathic practices?

Five capabilities, all included on every plan.

Automated review requests

Sent at the optimal time of day after every completed session. Personalized with the patient's first name and their osteopath's name. Two equally-presented options: Google review or private feedback. The patient chooses. The 45-day cooldown means weekly-session patients are not over-asked.

48-hour and 24-hour reminders

Two reminders per session. Default on for osteopathy. Each respects practice hours and patient opt-outs. Patients can confirm or reschedule from the SMS thread.

90-day reactivation

Tuned to typical maintenance-pause patterns. ExperClinic checks every day for patients past their 90-day window and sends a customizable SMS. Cadence is configurable per practice.

Two-way SMS for patient questions

"Should I move differently this week?" "Is the soreness normal?" "Can I bring my partner to the consult?" Replies land in a threaded conversation in your dashboard. Any practitioner or admin can respond.

DOMP, M.OMSc, and DO credential support

Osteopathy supports multiple credential pathways: DOMP for Canadian-trained osteopathic manual practitioners, M.OMSc for graduates of accredited Canadian programs, and DO for U.S.-trained osteopathic physicians. The review request SMS uses whichever credentials the practitioner has on file.

FAQ

Common questions from osteopathic practices

My patients come weekly. Will they get spammed with reviews?
No. ExperClinic has a 45-day per-patient cooldown on review requests. A patient on weekly sessions gets asked at most every 6-7 weeks. Across a 3-month treatment plan, that is roughly 2 review requests, which is the right cadence.
My credentials are DOMP, not DO. Are non-physician osteopaths supported?
Yes. Osteopathy supports DOMP (Canadian osteopathic manual practitioner), M.OMSc (graduate degree), and DO (U.S. osteopathic physician) as configurable credentials. The default for Canadian-trained osteopaths is "DOMP" with no Dr. prefix. The review request SMS uses whichever credentials the practitioner has on file.
How does the 90-day reactivation work for maintenance patients on a 3-month cycle?
A patient on a 3-month maintenance cycle who has not booked their next visit will hit the 90-day window right around when they should be coming in. ExperClinic sends a discreet reactivation SMS at that point. Configurable per practice; some clinics shorten to 60 days for active treatment and lengthen to 180 for stable long-term patients.
I run a solo practice. Can I still use ExperClinic?
Yes. The platform supports solo practitioners. The Starter tier ($129 CAD/month) includes 500 SMS/month, which fits most solo osteopathic practices. The dashboard is the same; you are simply the only practitioner record.
What about review-gating? Some platforms route negative reviews away from Google.
ExperClinic does not gate reviews. Every patient sees the same two options after every session: a public Google review or private feedback. The patient chooses. Review gating violates Google's review policy and the FTC endorsement guides. We will not build that.
What happens when a patient texts STOP?
STOP scopes to your practice. The patient is flagged as opted out and no further automated SMS is sent. The record stays in your list, just marked. Inbound STOP, START, and HELP are handled per TCPA convention.
Is patient data secure?
Yes. ExperClinic is PIPEDA compliant and built for Canadian healthcare requirements. We store patient names and phone numbers only, never clinical content. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Optional BAA signing is available for US providers under HIPAA.
