AI for Physiotherapy Practices in Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha)

Port Elizabeth — now officially Gqeberha — is home to a growing number of physiotherapy practices serving both private and medical aid patients across the Eastern Cape. Like practices everywhere in South Africa, most are losing patients to missed calls, slow follow-up, and manual recall processes that do not scale.

The Challenge for Physios in Gqeberha

Physiotherapy treatment is by nature long-term. Patients need multiple sessions, home exercise programmes, and regular follow-up. When a patient misses an appointment and no one follows up, they often do not return. Over 12 months, this translates to tens of thousands of rands in lost revenue per practitioner.

How Xtreme AI Helps Physiotherapy Practices in Port Elizabeth
