How many therapists REALLY write out notes?
18 Replies
I'm curious to know how many therapists really write out SOAP notes for their clients. If you do take notes, how do you go about crafting a plan for your clients - is it even worth your time if…Continue

Hello Therapists, The Driskill Hotel in Austin would like to offer a short (5-10 minute) free massage to their cleaning staff, but only one of their therapists has volunteered (she happens to be my lovely wife). I think this is a great thing for a company to do and a small thank you to a generally overlooked staff. The Driskill needs 3 or 4 more therapists to volunteer 2 hours of their time to make this work. I am asking any therapists in the Austin area to write to me if they are willing to…See More
Jason Huie posted a blog postMassageCRM gets "Referrals"
Early this week, I got an excellent email from one of our new users. He nicely laid out some of the necessary elements to make MassageCRM truly useful. The best thing about this email is that our user has been working on a system of bookkeeping and documents to make his business entirely paperless - and that's EXACTLY what MassageCRM is hoping to help accomplish. As such, one of the features he was really interested in that is not easily done with existing software is the notion of…See More
Daniel Cohen replied to Jason Huie's discussion MassageCRM - Online SOAP notes and Scheduling in the group Massage Classifieds"Thanks, I just have a dumb phone and will check it out later. Today I have 8 hours booked straight, hope to have time soon to look. Hope you get the mobile version going soon."
Jason Huie replied to Jason Huie's discussion MassageCRM - Online SOAP notes and Scheduling in the group Massage Classifieds"hahaha...I think your second question is what is keeping a lot of therapists for fully utilizing notes. I'm glad you asked about the website on a smart phone. The answer to your question is that it performs quite poorly on a smart…"
Daniel Cohen replied to Jason Huie's discussion MassageCRM - Online SOAP notes and Scheduling in the group Massage Classifieds"It looks interesting and it would solve some problems I have keeping track of clients and appointments. Because of these problems I am considering upgrading to a smart phone. How does it perform with mobile browsers? Also how will I find time…"
Jason Huie replied to Jason Huie's discussion MassageCRM - Online SOAP notes and Scheduling in the group Massage Classifieds"Most definitely. In fact, I developed the website using a MacBook Pro, so it will probably look best on your computer. One of my favorite features is the body chart coloring tool that relies on an HTML5 capable browser. Pretty much…"
Therese Schwartz replied to Jason Huie's discussion How many therapists REALLY write out notes?"The notes I take are really helpful, as Jason suggests, in figuring out what clients like and don't like, what works and what doesn't work. That way they get sessions that are tailored specifically for them. I tell everyone…"
Lee Edelberg replied to Jason Huie's discussion How many therapists REALLY write out notes?"Hi Jason,
So you're suggesting that if I have a longer-term plan for a client then they might be more likely to stay?
That's a pretty interesting idea........I will give it some thought!"
Jason Huie replied to Jason Huie's discussion How many therapists REALLY write out notes?"Lee,
I totally understand what you mean about adding complexity with taking notes after each session - and I can see what you mean about not wanting the extra clutter of a computer in your studio. Taking notes might not fit for every…"
Therese Schwartz replied to Jason Huie's discussion How many therapists REALLY write out notes?"Hi Barbara! I do the same thing! Like you, my notes are better quality when I write them right away. I'm much more confident in what I felt in the tissues. When I can't remember, I write enough notes that…"
Lee Edelberg replied to Jason Huie's discussion How many therapists REALLY write out notes?"I don't mean to come across negatively, Jason. I see potentially great value for your product in other situations. A studio or practice that has multiple MT's for example, or someone who does a lot of medically-oriented massage…"
Lee Edelberg replied to Jason Huie's discussion How many therapists REALLY write out notes?"I spend a couple of minutes writing notes about each session on a form I created. It's not in SOAP format. I write enough so I can remember next time who the individual is and what I found. Anything memorable gets noted. Once I get…"
Barbara Helynn Heard replied to Jason Huie's discussion How many therapists REALLY write out notes?"Aloha Therese, I dont' always get my notes done right away. But my notes are better quality when I do. Once in a while I write "waited too long to write notes" in the observation section. I am however…"
Therese Schwartz replied to Jason Huie's discussion How many therapists REALLY write out notes?"They aren't long; it only takes me a short time to write them up. They aren't in a standard SOAP format. I've attached a PDF of my form I made. It's not perfect and I'm constantly tweaking it but for the…"

Aloha Jason, Thanks for your comment. I am passionate about finding ways to communicate in ways that open hearts. I will eventually create a "massage communciation advice column."
Aloha,
