Clinics look for a WebPT alternative when WebPT is the most widely used physical therapy EMR in the US, and the reasons clinics give for leaving are about the whole stack: outages, documentation that takes longer than it should, separate modules for scheduling, billing, engagement and outcomes, and records that are hard to find by name or date of service. This page sets out where Capra is the better fit, where WebPT still is, and how switching works.

Notes on the table: WebPT's public pages describe scheduling, documentation, engagement and outcomes modules; online self-booking, self-serve rebooking and support quality could not be confirmed from public pages, so they are marked for you to check; the portal is marked partial because patient-facing features sit in a separate engagement module; integrations are a fixed set.
Migration is part of onboarding: a named lead imports your data, checks it with you and stays your contact after go-live. Most clinics run both systems side by side for a couple of weeks before switching the old one off.
Your onboarding lead takes the export of patients, appointments, notes, documents and invoices from WebPT, or pulls it with you, and maps it field by field into Capra.
You review the imported records against the originals, and the clinic can run both systems side by side for a couple of weeks before the switch.
Reminders, booking and the inbox switch on, the integrations you agreed are built and tested, and your onboarding lead stays your contact afterwards, in UK and UAE hours.
Defence in depth, from the first message to the last record. This is how we operate, not a badge.
Connections use current TLS with HSTS, and stored data is encrypted with keys managed by our cloud provider.
Permissions come from defined roles, privileged access needs multi-factor authentication, and rights are reviewed regularly.
Security-relevant events are recorded, retained and reviewed so unusual activity can be investigated quickly.
Critical data is backed up regularly and protected like production, with processes to restore service after a disruption.
UK clinics are hosted in the UK by default; deployment in other regions, including the UAE, is available on request with the same protections.
Capra connects to the record, calendar, accounting, messaging and claims systems you already run; integrations are built with you during onboarding.
Yes. Capra is configured for physical therapy during onboarding: scheduling with rooms and equipment, SOAP templates and body charts, outcome measures scored on the record, home exercise links, texting from a registered practice number with self-serve rebooking, and reporting per therapist and location.
WebPT has deep physical-therapy-specific documentation, outcomes tracking, reporting program support, a home exercise program, benefit verification and a billing service, and it serves large outpatient and hospital-based rehab organizations. A PT-only clinic that wants all of that from one vendor may stay.
One workspace with one patient record instead of separate modules, templates configured for your clinic, one account for multidisciplinary and multi-location practices, WhatsApp alongside texting, a portal that opens from a link, integrations built for you during onboarding and support from a named team.
Yes. Your onboarding lead takes the WebPT export of patients, appointments, notes, documents and outcomes, maps it into Capra and checks it with you before go-live.
Yes. Outcome measures are set up as forms, scored on submission and charted visit by visit on the patient record, with high-risk answers flagged to the therapist.
Most clinics are scheduling, texting and documenting in Capra within a few days of the import. Clearinghouse, EHR and accounting connections follow the onboarding plan agreed with your named lead.
Capra connects to your clearinghouse during onboarding and keeps insurance details and claim status on the record; practices that want a managed billing service keep that service and connect it.
Yes. Clinics commonly run both for a couple of weeks after the import: bookings and reminders move to Capra first, notes follow once the team is comfortable, and your onboarding lead checks nothing has been left behind before WebPT is switched off.
Consent records and contact preferences are imported with each patient and stored on the record in Capra. Opt-outs are applied through suppression lists from the first send, so a patient who declined messages in WebPT is not messaged by Capra either.
