The Creator was rebuilt in September 2026. Your own exercises now live on the My Exercises tab of the library panel. See What's New in the Creator for a summary of what changed.
Alongside the Rehab Guru library you can build your own exercises, using your own images and video. There are two ways in: create one from scratch, or duplicate an exercise from the library and adapt it.
Finding your own exercises
Open Creator from the sidebar and click My Exercises in the library panel on the left. The buttons at the foot of the panel are Create exercise, Request and Exercise Tags. On the Search and Favourites tabs you only see Create exercise and Request.
Finding the buttons on the My Exercises tab
Create exercise makes an exercise in your own account. Request asks the Rehab Guru team to film one for the main library. See Requesting a new Exercise be added to the Library.
Creating an exercise from scratch
Click Create exercise. A panel opens on the right with three numbered sections.
1. Details
Give the exercise a name, add Tags so it can be found by the library filters, choose a Difficulty (Easy, Medium, Hard or Expert), and write the instructions your client will follow. The name, Difficulty and instructions are all required. The Generate button drafts the instructions for you from the exercise name, which you can then edit, and the eye button previews them.
Naming a new exercise and generating its instructions
If none of the existing tags fit, make your own. Click the + button next to Tags, or Exercise Tags at the foot of the My Exercises tab. Enter a Tag Name, pick a Group or type a new one, and click create. Your tags are listed underneath, with buttons to edit or delete each one. Custom tags can only be applied to exercises you have created.

2. Media
Add up to ten images, in JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF, up to 15 MB each. Drag the files in or browse for them, and use the arrows on each image to set the order they appear in.
For video you have a choice: Upload video takes an MP4, MOV or WebM file up to 100 MB, and Use hosted video lets you paste a YouTube, Vimeo or Dropbox link and click Check link. A hosted video stays with its provider, so if it is moved or deleted there it will stop playing in Rehab Guru.
Adding images and video to a new exercise
At least one image or video is required before you can save.
3. Access
Team permissions control whether colleagues can view the exercise, and whether they can edit and delete it. These are set by your team manager, so they may be locked.
Tick Exercise media contains patient details if the images or video show a real client. A Select client box appears so you can choose that client (or create a new one). This associates the exercise with them and stops it being reused for anyone else by accident.
Setting team permissions and flagging patient media
Click Create exercise at the foot of the panel and it appears on your My Exercises tab, ready to add to a programme like any other.
If Create exercise is greyed out, something still needs filling in. The message at the foot of the panel tells you what is missing, for example Enter an exercise name. or Select a difficulty.
Checking what still needs filling in before creating an exercise
If the page refreshes before you have saved, the name, instructions, difficulty and tags you typed are kept and come back when you next open Create exercise, with a message saying the details were restored. Images and video are not kept, so you will need to add those again.
If you click Cancel after typing anything, you are asked to confirm. Discard changes throws the draft away; Cancel takes you back to the panel.
Duplicating a library exercise
If a Rehab Guru exercise is nearly what you want, duplicating it is quicker than starting again. You keep the original images, video and instructions and change only what you need.
On the Search tab, click the ... menu on the exercise and choose Duplicate. The same menu also offers Expand and Add to favourites (or Remove from favourites).
Duplicating an exercise from the Rehab Guru library
The copy lands on your My Exercises tab, where you can edit it. The original library exercise is untouched.
Editing, favouriting and deleting your exercises
On the My Exercises tab, the ... menu on each card offers Expand, Add to favourites, Edit and Delete.
Opening the options on your own exercise
Edit opens the same three-section panel you used to create it, headed Edit exercise, with everything filled in. Change the name, tags, difficulty, instructions, media or permissions, then click Save changes.
Editing one of your own exercises
Deleting is permanent. If you delete an exercise you created, you will have to make it again.
Sharing several exercises at once
To change team sharing on several of your exercises together, click Select at the top of the My Exercises list and tick the exercises you want. Click Sharing in the bar at the foot of the list, choose Allow viewing and Allow editing, and click Save. Click Done to leave select mode.
Selecting your exercises to change sharing
Changing an exercise inside one programme only
If you only want to reword something for one client, you do not need to edit the exercise itself. Add it to the programme, then use the ... menu on its row to Edit title or Edit description. That change applies to this programme alone.
If you decide you want to keep the edited version, choose Save to my exercises from the same menu and it becomes one of your own exercises.
