The Prompt
You are an expert exercise rehabilitation specialist with 11 years of experience in Healthcare creating physiotherapy support exercise sheets for personal trainers working alongside physiotherapy clinics and sports medicine practices. Help me write a physiotherapy exercise sheet so I can build a sustainable coaching practice by providing high-quality support materials that strengthen my referral relationships with local physio clinics.
My situation:
- My name, coaching business name, and the client population I primarily work with: [e.g., James Colton — ColtonFit — post-operative and injury-recovery clients referred from two local physiotherapy clinics in Manchester]
- The specific injury or condition this exercise sheet addresses: [e.g., post-ACL reconstruction rehabilitation — clients are typically 10–16 weeks post-surgery and have been cleared by their physiotherapist for gym-based progressive loading]
- The exercise equipment available to clients at the facility where they train with me: [e.g., cable machine, leg press, resistance bands, balance board, TRX suspension trainer — no single-leg press at this facility]
- The physiotherapist's specific exercise restrictions and progression criteria for this client group: [e.g., no full squat depth below parallel until week 16 — no impact or jumping until physiotherapist written clearance — progressive loading only — weekly pain score must stay below 3/10 before adding resistance]
- The format and usage context for this sheet: [e.g., A4 one-page document — handed to the client at the start of each training block — also shared digitally with the referring physiotherapist to maintain clinical alignment]
- My current exercise sheet quality and why it is limiting my referral relationships: [e.g., current sheets are handwritten or basic Word documents — referring physiotherapists have commented that the sheets lack progression logic and do not reference the clinical clearance milestones they use in their own notes]
- The clinical terminology level appropriate for this document: [e.g., semi-clinical — must be clear to the client but also credible to the physiotherapist — include standard rehabilitation terminology where it aids clarity without overwhelming the client]
Deliver:
1. Write a 12-exercise progressive rehabilitation program structured in 3 phases of 4 exercises each — phase 1 (neuromuscular control), phase 2 (strength foundation), phase 3 (functional loading) — each exercise must include sets, reps, tempo notation, equipment, coaching cue, and the clinical clearance milestone required before progressing to the next phase.
2. Write a pain monitoring protocol — a simple 3-step system the client uses before, during, and after each session to track pain scores and determine whether to proceed, modify, or stop the session — formatted as a decision tree the client can follow independently.
3. Write a physiotherapist alignment note — a 100-word document formatted as a brief clinical summary that I send to the referring physio after each 4-week training block, covering exercises performed, pain scores recorded, and any movement quality observations requiring clinical input.
4. Write a client-facing exercise rationale card — a 60-word explanation for each of the 3 program phases that tells the client in plain language what the exercises in this phase are doing for their recovery and why the sequence matters.
5. Write a red flag symptom list — 6 specific symptoms the client must stop the session for and contact their physiotherapist about immediately — formatted as a wallet card the client keeps with them during training.
6. Write a referral partnership one-pager — a 150-word document I give to physiotherapy clinics explaining my rehabilitation support service, how my exercise sheets align with their clinical protocols, and what the referral process looks like — designed to increase the number of clinics that refer post-rehabilitation clients to me.
7. Write a client consent and scope of practice statement — a 100-word declaration the client signs before beginning training with me that clarifies my role as a personal trainer supporting physiotherapy rehabilitation rather than providing physiotherapy treatment.
**Write all outputs as complete professional clinical-adjacent documents — the exercise sheet and physio alignment note must be credible enough that a registered physiotherapist would be comfortable sharing them with their patient as part of the clinical rehabilitation plan.**
💡 How to use this prompt
Start with output item 6 (the referral partnership one-pager) before building the exercise sheet itself. Your referral relationships with physiotherapy clinics are the primary business driver for this entire document — having a professional one-pager that explains your alignment with clinical protocols gives you a reason to contact the two clinics you currently work with and every new clinic you want to approach, which directly expands your sustainable client pipeline.
The most common mistake is writing the physiotherapist's exercise restrictions as a list of what the client cannot do rather than the progression criteria for what they can advance to. Write "client may add resistance once pain score stays below 3/10 for two consecutive sessions" rather than "no heavy loading until cleared." The AI builds a progressive exercise sheet around advancement criteria, not restriction lists — the distinction changes the clinical credibility of the entire document.
Gemini's real-time web access gives it an advantage for this task — use Gemini to pull current evidence-based ACL rehabilitation protocols, standard progression timelines from sports medicine literature, and physiotherapy association guidelines that make the exercise progressions clinically defensible. For the final copy polish on the client-facing rationale cards and the referral one-pager, paste Gemini's draft into Claude for cleaner professional language.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is this Gemini prompt used for?
This prompt generates a complete physiotherapy support exercise sheet package for personal trainers working with post-rehabilitation clients. It produces a 12-exercise progressive program, a pain monitoring protocol, a physiotherapist alignment note, client-facing rationale cards, a red flag symptom list, a referral partnership one-pager, and a consent and scope of practice statement.
Can I use this prompt for a different injury type such as lower back pain or shoulder impingement?
Yes. Replace the ACL reconstruction field with your target injury or condition and update the physiotherapist restrictions field with the movement limitations specific to that condition. The 3-phase rehabilitation structure — neuromuscular control, strength foundation, functional loading — applies broadly to most post-physiotherapy exercise progressions with condition-specific exercise selection.
Is this prompt suitable for a personal trainer who does not currently have any physio referral relationships?
Yes — output item 6 (the referral partnership one-pager) is specifically designed for this situation. Use it to initiate contact with local physiotherapy clinics before you have any referral agreement in place. The one-pager demonstrates your clinical alignment and professionalism, which is the primary factor physiotherapists consider when deciding whether to refer clients to an external trainer.
Do I need a physiotherapy qualification to use these exercise sheets with clients?
No, but you must always work within your scope of practice as a personal trainer. Output item 7 (the consent and scope of practice statement) is specifically designed to make this boundary explicit to both the client and the referring physiotherapist. Always ensure the client has written physiotherapy clearance for gym-based loading before beginning any session based on these sheets.
Gemini vs Claude — which is better for physiotherapy exercise sheet prompts?
Gemini is better when evidence-based rehabilitation protocols, current sports medicine guidelines, and clinical progression timelines need to be integrated into the exercise sheet to make it professionally credible. Claude is better for the client-facing language — rationale cards, the referral one-pager, and the consent statement — where professional tone and precise plain-language health communication matter more than research access.
