Massage SOAP Notes & Intake

KneadNotes is the notebook a massage therapist keeps between sessions. Client files, intake answers, signed consent, SOAP notes and a body chart, all on your own phone. WHAT IT DOES Body chart Tap the front or the back to place a mark: pain, tension, a trigger point, an area to avoid, or somewhere you worked. Each mark carries a severity from 1 to 10 and a line of its own. Open the next session and last time's marks sit faintly underneath, and the app lists which of them you have recorded as better, worse, new or gone. SOAP notes Subjective, objective, assessment and plan, with the session details beside them: duration, modalities, pressure, positions, products used and the aftercare you gave. Save any line you write often and it is one tap on the next client. A note closes itself A note stays open for a day. After that it is not rewritten. Anything you need to add goes on as an addendum with its own date and time. Intake Start with fourteen questions covering pain, medication, allergies, skin, heart and circulation, pregnancy and the areas a client would rather you left alone. Edit, add and remove them to suit your practice. Hand the phone over, or fill it in together. Consent Two forms written in plain words: one for the treatment, one for keeping records. Each covers what will happen, what the alternatives are, what can follow, the chance to ask questions, the right to stop at any time, confidentiality and the limits of what massage is. The client signs with a finger. You set a review period for each form, and the app labels it current, expiring soon or expired from the date it was signed. Those labels are a reminder to revisit the form, not a finding that a client has consented to any particular treatment. The record as a PDF One document per client with the intake, the consent, every note and the body charts, over any date range. It carries the name, practice and licence number you entered in Settings, and a line on the cover stating that it is a record of treatment, that it contains no diagnosis, and that it does not establish that any treatment was appropriate. Reminders Consent running out, a client you have not seen for a while, a session from today with no note yet. Reminders never include client names. Your data Client records are stored in the app's own storage on your phone and are not uploaded. There is no account and no sync. Crash reports and analytics do leave the device. The app can be locked behind your phone's PIN, pattern or fingerprint, screenshots are blocked while it is open, and it does not appear in the recent apps preview or in Android's automatic backup. The backup is one file, encrypted with a passphrase you choose, and that passphrase cannot be recovered by anyone, including us. WHAT YOU GET The standard tier holds five clients with unlimited notes, the body chart, intake, consent and the app lock. The full version adds unlimited clients, the history PDF, restoring a backup onto a second phone, and an unlimited bank of saved phrases. There are no ads at any tier. WHO IT IS FOR Massage therapists working for themselves: sports and remedial, spa, mobile, prenatal, clinic rooms. WHAT IT IS NOT KneadNotes is a notebook. It does not diagnose, it does not suggest treatment, and it makes no claim to meet HIPAA, GDPR or any board's requirements. Checking the record-keeping and retention rules that apply to your practice is your responsibility. The app is in 10 languages. PDF exports are English only. Questions: support@clearstackapps.com
