QR codes for physical therapy, chiropractic and wellness clinics
A paper handout of exercises gets lost, and a stick-figure drawing is a poor stand-in for a demonstration. A code on the handout that opens a short video of each movement helps patients do it right at home.
Clinics can also use codes at reception for booking, forms and directions.
This is a dynamic QR code: $3 once, and you can change where it points at any time without reprinting. How that works
What should a clinic QR code open?
Keep it general and non-diagnostic.
- Videos of common home exercises, each under a minute.
- Online booking for follow-up visits.
- New-patient forms and what to bring.
- Clinic hours, directions and contact details.
Is it okay to put exercise instructions behind a QR code?
Yes, as long as the page is general guidance and your therapist's own instructions come first. Say clearly that patients should stop and call the clinic if something hurts, and keep each patient's specific plan in your own patient system, not on a public page.
Where should the codes go in the clinic?
On the exercise handout, the front desk, the treatment room wall and the appointment card. A code on the wall next to a treatment table can open a short explainer video for the person lying down looking up.
What about privacy?
The code only opens a web address, so the page behind it must not contain anything personal. Use your normal secure portal for records and messages.
Example signs
Each example code opens threedollarqrcode.com. Your code can open any page you choose.
Questions
Can I update videos without reprinting?
Yes. Edit the page or change the address in your edit link.
Do patients need an app?
No.
Can I use one code for many handouts?
Yes, with a page that lists the exercise sets.
Cost?
$3 once per code.
Can I use a code for each exercise?
Yes, or one code to a page that lists them all.
Does the code make medical claims?
No. The code opens whatever page you choose, so write general guidance and keep individual plans private.
