Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from the SOAP note generator?
- This tool builds a blank template for you to fill in by hand — no AI involved, it works instantly. The SOAP note generator takes a description you write and produces a finished note for you. Use the template when you want a consistent structure to complete yourself.
- Why does the template change with modality?
- The Objective section adapts to the work you're doing — deep tissue prompts you about adhesions and pressure tolerance, prenatal prompts about positioning and trimester, sports about range of motion. It keeps the parts that are common and swaps in prompts that fit the modality.
- Can I use this template in my practice?
- Yes. Copy or download it and adapt it however you like. Check that it meets any documentation requirements from your licensing board or professional association.
- Is there a faster way than filling this in each time?
- Yes — that's what the full TouchTrace app is for. Instead of a blank template, you speak your notes and get a structured SOAP draft saved to the client's history automatically. A free account gets you there.
