Physiotherapist shortage · DACH 2026
therapists missing by 2030.
Projection from the 2024 Austrian Ministry of Health demand analysis · WHO Health Workforce forecasts. Sources open on the Tech page.
Solution · Hybrid instead of in-person by default
More patients per hour, in-person stays where it works.
Beyond Motion shifts routine sessions into an asynchronous setting. The therapist prioritises via the dashboard, the patient gets clear, guided instruction at home. In-person appointments stay where they matter: at the start, at the turning point, at the plateau.
The point isn't less care, it's redistributed care: the literature shows that supervised plus home training works better than unsupervised home training alone — and it's exactly that supervision we make possible asynchronously (home-training meta-analysis — evidence base).
