Introduction
Prehab Professional, built by The Prehab Guys, has made a name for itself with high-quality, DPT-filmed exercise content and a clean patient-facing interface. For therapists who want a polished pre-built content library, it’s an appealing option.
But for therapists who want to build their own branded experience, communicate securely with patients, record custom videos, and bill for Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM), AC-Health is in a different league. Here’s how the two platforms compare.
Custom Videos vs. Pre-Built Content:
Prehab Professional’s core strength is its library of 3,000+ exercises filmed by licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy. The production quality is high, and the content is clinically sound. For therapists who want to get started quickly with a reliable content base, this is valuable.
However, every patient sees the same generic videos and not their therapist. AC-Health flips this model: you can upload your own custom video demonstrations so your patients see you performing each exercise. This personal connection is one of the most powerful drivers of patient adherence, and it reinforces your clinical brand at the same time. AC-Health also gives you access to a comprehensive built-in exercise library, so you get the best of both worlds.
HIPAA Compliance and Secure Communication:
Prehab Professional does not offer built-in HIPAA-compliant messaging between therapists and patients. If you need to follow up with a patient between sessions, answer a question about form, or deliver updated instructions, you’d need to use a separate HIPAA-compliant tool.
AC-Health has HIPAA-compliant internal messaging built directly into the platform. Every conversation stays within the secure environment, keeping your practice protected and your workflow streamlined.
RTM: Bill for the Work You’re Already Doing
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) allows therapists to bill Medicare and many private insurers for remote monitoring and communication time between sessions. AC-Health supports all relevant RTM CPT codes (98975, 98977, 98980, 98981) with automatic reporting built in.
Prehab Professional does not offer RTM capabilities. For therapists and clinics looking to generate additional revenue while providing better between-session care, this gap is significant.
White-Label Branding
With AC-Health, your patients use an app that looks and feels like your clinic. Your logo, your name, your brand. This is especially important for growing clinics that want to build patient loyalty and stand out from competitors.
Prehab Professional does not offer white-label branding. Patients interact with the Prehab brand, not yours
Pricing Comparison
Prehab Professional starts at $19/month for individual therapists on a monthly plan. There is no free plan.
AC-Health offers a free-for-life plan for up to 5 patients, making it accessible for solo practitioners, new graduates, or anyone wanting to test the platform before committing. Paid plans remain affordable as your caseload scales starting from $14 a month for the basic plan.

Conclusion
Prehab Professional is a solid content platform for therapists who value high-quality pre-filmed videos.
