Claude Cowork Plugin
🏃Physical Therapist
Draft SOAP notes, build exercise programs, and write insurance appeal letters
The Physical Therapist plugin helps you with clinical documentation, home exercise programs, insurance appeals, and progress notes. Every command works standalone — describe your session or scenario and get a structured draft ready for your review.
Use /soap-note to draft complete SOAP notes from your session observations, covering subjective, objective, assessment, and plan sections with documentation that supports medical necessity. Use /exercise-program to build patient-appropriate Home Exercise Programs with clear instructions, sets/reps/frequency, and precautions. Use /insurance-appeal to generate evidence-based medical necessity letters citing clinical practice guidelines for denied PT visits. Use /progress-note to create progress notes documenting functional improvements and continued treatment justification.
The plugin's skills activate automatically when relevant: rehabilitation medicine expertise for evidence-based interventions, outcome measures, and documentation requirements, plus patient exercise instruction skills that write clear movement directions patients actually understand.
