Exercise, Supplement & Biomarker Libraries
When you build a protocol you're not typing exercise names into a blank box. Ready Practice ships curated libraries behind the protocol builder, so a movement, a supplement or a biomarker comes with its details already attached — and comes back identically the next time you or a colleague reaches for it.
That consistency is most of the value. Two clinicians who both type "shoulder press" from memory produce two different things; two clinicians who both pick it from the library produce the same thing, and a client moving between them sees one plan rather than two.
The exercise library
Roughly 140 exercises, each carrying what you need to prescribe it properly:
- Difficulty — beginner, intermediate or expert
- Equipment — or none, which is what you want for anything a client does at home
- Primary muscles
- Instructions — how the movement is performed
- A demonstration video, where one exists
It also records how the exercise is measured, which decides what the client actually sees in their app:
| Measure | What the client gets | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Reps | Sets × reps | Most strength work |
| Time | Sets × duration | Circuits, intervals |
| Hold | Seconds per set | Isometrics — planks, wall sits |
| Cardio | Duration only, no sets or reps | A run, a row, a walk |
Getting this right matters more than it sounds: an isometric hold prescribed as reps asks the client to do something that makes no sense, and they will either guess or skip it.
You can set a default demonstration video for an exercise across your whole organization, so everyone prescribing it points at the video you'd want a client to watch.
The supplement library
Around 375 supplements, organized by category — vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, antioxidants, adaptogens, nootropics, hormones and more.
These are deliberately generic, not branded. The library holds "magnesium glycinate", not one manufacturer's version of it. That's the right default for a clinical recommendation: you're prescribing the compound, and where the client buys it is a separate decision — one that stays theirs, and one you can route through Fullscript if you dispense.
Branded product lookup is available separately when you need to reference a specific product rather than a compound.
The biomarker catalog
The biomarkers you can attach to a protocol to track whether it's working. Assigning a biomarker to a protocol is what turns "we tried this" into "here's what moved" — see Labs for how results arrive and Clinical Protocols for attaching them.
Drug interaction checking
Atlas can check a list of medications for known interactions.
The interaction check works from a maintained set of drug-class rules. It is there to make you look twice — it is not a licensed pharmacological database, it will not catch everything, and nothing it says replaces your own check or a pharmacist's. Treat a clean result as "nothing flagged", never as "nothing there".
Your own libraries
The shipped libraries are a starting point, not a constraint. Your organization keeps its own catalogs alongside them — exercises, supplements, medications and meal templates — and anything you add there appears in the picker next to ours.
This is where a practice's actual character ends up. The movement progression you've refined over years, the compounded formulation only you dispense, the meal templates that match how you coach: those belong in your library, not retyped into every protocol. Meal templates are created under Databases → Meals and then selected when you build a plan.
Anything you prescribe can still be edited for the client in front of you. The library fills in the details so you're adjusting something rather than building from nothing.
Standardized outcome measures
Separately from the clinical libraries, Ready Practice ships a set of validated outcome-measure questionnaires you can add from a library rather than rebuilding from the published paper:
- Oswestry Disability Index — low back
- Neck Disability Index
- Pain Numeric Rating (0–10)
- Patient-Specific Functional Scale
These are public-domain instruments, which is a deliberate limit: a licensed instrument can't be shipped to every organization, so where one is licensed we include a public-domain equivalent covering the same ground instead. If your practice is licensed to use a specific instrument, build it as your own questionnaire.
Add them from Programs → Questionnaires → Add from library, and they arrive with their published scoring already configured. See Recurring Questionnaires for how scoring and repeat schedules work.
Next steps
To use them, open Clinical Protocols — the libraries are behind the activity and supplement pickers in the protocol builder.
To track whether a protocol worked, attach biomarkers and see Labs for how results come in.
