Compare Our Products With Our Competitors
We have tried to make these comparisons as objective as possible. Information is
based on company web site information and/or sales information or demos supplied
by the company as of January 2005. Information and available features may change
and you should be the final judge. We have not compared every single feature,
just some of the major items we feel may help you decide. We try to keep this as
up to date as possible, so if you feel there is an error or an incorrect item,
please let us know.

OTHER SOFTWARE PROGRAMS:
-
Many programs look attractive at the start. When you compare the price of their
program with equal content to our software, you will find you will save hundreds
or even thousands of dollars.
-
Based on cost per exercise our software is the best value.
-
Some sell and require extra hardware to be plugged into your computer. One
company charges $99 for this hardware just so you can have the privilege of
purchasing their exercise libraries. Do not be fooled - this "program module"
does not include any exercises.
-
None have search by muscles or muscle groups or a name search component.
-
Only Exercise Pro has a picture editor.
-
None have full page education handouts.
-
Most do not have password protection.
-
Many program won't let you add exercises or make text changes.
-
Most have less content and outdated exercise libraries.
-
Several do not print in Spanish. Or they may charge extra for the additional
language.
-
Most do not have pediatrics.
-
Not all work on a network. If you are considering a network
click here before purchase any other software.

Information compiled as accurately as possible from each manufacturer's
literature as of 1/1/05 and may be subject to change.
* Based on independent clinician subjective feedback.
** Based on purchase of "optional" libraries. Physio Tools and VHI have redundant exercises or
libraries meaning you pay two to three times for the same exercise. Divide VHI counts by 1/3, Physiotools by 3, for a more accurate count.
Exercise Pro does not "double count" exercises.
*** Based on purchase of "optional" libraries and Spanish language option if
available.
This is just a short list contact us by phone (800-750-2756) or
email for more information.
Network Pricing:
Exercise Pro is $1150 for a 5 concurrent
user network (Server/Workstation Systems). Exercise Pro may be installed
on as many workstations as you desire. Up to 5 people at any time may be using
the program. Additional licenses are only $175 each.
Now consider if you are to buy the
equivalent system from VHI you would have to buy each exercise library for each
concurrent license. In addition you have to buy a hardware key, which
provides no functionality to you, for $249. If you bought all of the
equivalent exercise libraries from VHI to match Exercise Pro for a 5 user
network it would cost $7,756.45. Exercise Pro costs $1150.
An additional license for VHI would cost
$1,501.30. An additional license for Exercise Pro would be only $175.
When your company grows Exercise Pro is
priced to grow with you. With pricing differences like this the choice is
clear.
Web Based Applications:
A)The biggest problem is exactly their main sales pitch. You don't have
to own the software. Sounds good?
These sites either charge per program or a monthly fee. And in 2 or 3 years of
paying all that money you have nothing to show for it.
Let's face it, sometimes it is just really nice to
own a piece of software. Who doesn't have their own word processor? For $499 you
can have Exercise Pro, your own exercise software that prints UNLIMITED
programs FOREVER. ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.
B) Access and download - Web based programs require high
speed internet both for the Therapist and the patient. However 1 out 4 people do
not even have internet access and only 2 out 5 people have high speed internet
access. These programs do not meet the need for all of your patients.
Using web based video your patients are forced to exercise in
front of their computer. With Exercise Pro handouts they can exercise anywhere.
C) System Integrity - Everyone is concerned about Patient Confidentiality,
right? The hackers got right into the big companies like Amazon, CNN, and EBay.
What is going to stop them from getting your patient's information? Do these
companies conform to the new HIPPA federal requirements regarding electronic
patient information?
When you own our software it is secure on your own
computer, PLUS, we have Password Protection for Client Information.
D) Features - No exercise defaults, No Spanish language translations, you can't
add your own exercises, searches are not intuitive, and you can't make permanent
text changes. Exercise Pro will link with almost any electronic documentation
system, something web based applications can not do.
E) Content - These databases do not compete with our 2700 plus exercises.
Only Exercise Pro meets the needs of all of your patients.
Other considerations:
We provide free code change update patches on our web site. We do
not duplicate exercises in our count. If we like an exercise proposed by you we
may add it for free. If you ever have to re-install due to a computer failure or
loading it on another, you do not have to wait for a new code or pay again.
Exercise Pro can be used with a handheld portable unit. Free tech support by
toll free number or by email or by fax.
WE HOPE THIS HAS HELPED YOU UNDERSTAND JUST A
FEW OF THE ADVANTAGES BY USING OUR SOFTWARE OVER OTHER SYSTEMS. WE URGE YOU TO
BE AN INFORMED CONSUMER. THERE ARE MANY HOME EXERCISE PROGRAMS ON THE MARKET AND
ALL CLAIM TO BE THE BEST AND MOST COST EFFECTIVE. WE HAVE PROVIDED OBJECTIVE
HARD FACTS, NOT CLAIMS. YOU DECIDE.
