Excting Announcent:

I have created CMMSProAI which will launch soon.

The Story Behind CMMSProAI:

When Judy Colditz created the Casting Motion to Mobilise Stiffness (CMMS) Technique, she gave the world a framework — one that changed how we understand joint stiffness, movement, and recovery.

Over 25 years of practice, I’ve refined, researched, published, and taught the CMMS Technique — transforming it from a remarkable idea into a global movement that therapists can now apply with clarity and confidence.

But knowledge this deep doesn’t belong hidden in files, hard drives, or isolated platforms.

It deserves to live, breathe, and evolve.

That’s why I built CMMSProAI — not as artificial intelligence, but as a living, intelligent extension of my clinical reasoning.

It brings together everything I’ve created — the CMMS Course, CMMS Club, case presentations, and mentorship frameworks — into one dynamic, interactive platform that makes knowledge instantly accessible and applicable.

You no longer have to go searching through your notes from a course, or a social media post or a journal article to help you apply the technique.

CMMSProAI is the vehicle that carries accurate scientific information, my experience, my frameworks, and my logic to the fingertips of every therapist who wants to give their patients the best opportunity for a successful outcome.

Because real progress happens when expertise is shared — and wisdom is amplified.

What Makes CMMSProAI Unique?

CMMSPro.AI combines the precision of artificial intelligence with the clinical mastery of years of hard work, grounded in the pioneering CMMS Technique by Judy Colditz.

It’s your intelligent co-pilot — built to refine your reasoning, amplify your judgment, and elevate your clinical decisions.

Helping you think sharper, decide faster, and treat smarter. Not by prividing answers, but by asking the right questions. It does not make you lazy.

Within CMMSProAI every conversation, every case insight, every algorithm — is shaped by over 25 years of clinical excellence, 6 years of CMMS mentorship, and the combined wisdom of therapists across the globe.

This is my legacy.

To help me price this right - because affordability is key - please complete the survey https://form.jotform.com/253102179279560 and stand a chance to win a special prize. The winner will be announced on Friday.

Introducing CMMSPro.ai — Your Clinical Strategist to help you treat the Stiff Hand

CMMSPro.ai is the first AI-Powered Mentor for stiff hand rehabilitation.

The CMMSPro.ai is not a chatbot. It’s a thinking partner. A strategist.

A clinician’s guide.

Built exclusively from the mind and mentorship of Robyn Midgley — educator in the Casting Motion to Mobilise Stiffness (CMMS) technique — this tool is the first AI system trained solely on trusted content, not the web.

What Makes It Unique?

Over 6 years of clinical case data from:

72 CMMS Club mentoring sessions

100+ therapist mentorship journeys & data

All of Robyn's lectures, clinical experience & clinical reasoning

Data of hundreds of patient outcomes

Every interaction is shaped by Robyn’s clinical frameworks, cast designs, decision trees, and movement pattern logic. It doesn’t guess. It doesn’t scrape. It reflects what works — and how Robyn thinks.

What the Strategist Helps You Do:

Diagnose movement patterns (Intrinsic Plus or Minus) and apply them to real casting decisions

Select and adjust POP cast designs based on patient movement, MCP positioning, and safety principles

Navigate case progression with precise timing cues, wear-ratio tips, and change triggers

Receive mentorship prompts that build confidence, not dependency

Integrate supportive tools, techniques & modalities such as:

Tuning forks & Spectrochrome laser

Hand therapy modalities & techniques

Understand patient education, contra-indication signs, cast hygiene, and POP safety protocols.

Match your case to the correct Playbook from the CMMS library — instantly

Link to the Mentoring YouTube video so that you can learn from a previously mentored therapist & patient.

All in Robyn’s signature tone: calm, clear, clinical, encouraging. You’ll feel like she’s guiding you every step of the way.

CMMSPRO.AI does not replace formal CMMS training.

It provides the essential mentorship that is needed after formal training.

CMMSPRO.AI is here to provide immediate access to expert opinion and guide you with your difficult cases. Should you still need more help, please schedule a 1:1 mentoring session with Robyn Midgley or join the CMMS Club.

CMMSPro.ai guides your clinical reasoning

— not by giving answers, but by asking the right questions.

The Legacy member waiting list will open soon.
