Here at F.A.S.T., we are helping develop an app called Tortoise which is designed to provide ongoing support for your recovery journey outside of clinic appointments. Currently in the testing phase, Tortoise aims to enhance your recovery process and we value your feedback to help us achieve our goal of offering comprehensive support.
How does Tortoise work?
Simply download the app for free. You can set short-term steps (goals that you will aim to achieve soon which can be discussed with your therapist) and a finish line ambition (long-term recovery/performance aim) to celebrate small wins in your recovery journey. The daily check-in feature allows you to track how external factors like fatigue, mood, and physical activity impact your injury. The rehab section enables you to upload the rehab videos, monitor your progress, and track the difficulty of your exercises.
Additionally, the community section fosters a supportive environment where you can share your progress with others. You can also connect with your therapist, share your progress before follow-up appointments to help optimise your in-person sessions. Tortoise is completely free, and we are continuously updating the platform. Your feedback is crucial in helping us improve and support others on their recovery journey.
We hope that Tortoise proves to be a valuable tool in your recovery outside of appointments, assisting you in achieving your goals. Your feedback is highly appreciated as we strive to make Tortoise as beneficial as possible for your recovery journey.
