Motion Doctor, "Physical Therapy" - iPad App

  
   The Motion Doctor, a $14.99 App from the Blue What Web Solutions, is like having a physical, real therapist which carefully analyzes your body and helps you protect yourself against physical harm (the only difference is that it is virtual). This app was created by Desirea D.Caucci, a Pennsylvannia Doctor who wanted to find a "portable" way to help people avoid self-injury and other undesirable wounds and to maintain body shape.

The Motion Doctor has 60 videos (which are updated every once in a while) which are "embedded" or "baked" into the app so an internet connection is not required to watch them. Each video has a "routine", which shows text, imagery, and detailed steps for that specific category of body problem. For example, if you got a stiff neck, you'd go to the "cervical flexion and extension" routine and video. The routine would say "Hold each position three second and repeat these five times a day". The rational of the routine, described by the very creator, was to maintain full neck flexibility, and to keep it out of painful cramps.

The routines are shown in colums beside their videos, and each group of routines, or a routine alone could be favorited for quick location in the future. The "favoriting" only works with routines, NOT videos. Also, "favoriting" allows routines to be separated into different genres, such as Elbows and Hip and Knees.

Lastly, Motion Doctor provides all sort of routines, exercise suggestions, and videos for Basketball, Baseball, Swimming, Golf, Tennis, Jogging, computer work, and various others for the body, like chest and hips. However, the Motion Doctor is, and will never be intended as a substitute for a real, physical medical professional. Mr. Caucci even suggested 

"If you are experiencing any unusual pain, shortness of breath or any other unexpected response when performing any of these exercises, you should discontinue using this app and contact a medical professional,"
