    Help us keep PhysioDock free

    All content on PhysioDock is free – but it costs to keep it running.

    ​

    PhysioDock is built to be an open and accessible platform for physiotherapists, students, and patients alike. Here you’ll find articles, measurement tools, exercise libraries, diagnostic resources, and professional materials – all completely free.

    Behind the scenes, however, there are hundreds of hours of work: research, writing, development, design, maintenance, testing, and updates. We do this because we believe in open knowledge and better health information.

    ​

    If you’d like to support our work and help us continue developing and improving PhysioDock, we truly appreciate everyone who:
    – subscribes to a PhysioDock+ membership
    – uses and recommends PhysioDock in their work or studies
    – shares PhysioDock with others

    ​

    Every contribution makes a difference – and helps us keep the platform open to everyone.
    Thank you for supporting PhysioDock!
