PhysiotherapyLlama for physiotherapy
Meta's natively multimodal, open-weight Mixture-of-Experts family (Scout and Maverick), free to download and self-host.
Llama is not on our list for physiotherapy. Usable for general work, but first look at the options we recommend for physiotherapy.
- GDPR profileOur summary of what the provider itself publishes about your data: EU hosting possible, no training on your data for business use, and self-hosting available. Caution applies to a model with a documented problem, such as an investigation by a regulator. How we measure
- GDPR: Caution
- QualityQuality from blind duels on LMArena: users choose between two anonymous answers. A difference of about 20 points is noticeable, a few points is noise. How we measure
- –Elo, independent
- Editorial scoreOur own assessment on 10 of suitability for professional work, price and privacy. This is a judgement, not a measurement; that is why it always sits alongside the Elo. How we measure

What Llama does in physiotherapy
- Generate consultation reports and SOAP notes automatically
- Drafting and monitoring home exercise programmes
- Patient communication and appointment management
- Looking up clinical guidelines and evidence-based information
- Open weights, fully self-hostable
- Fine-tunable on your own data

- GPU-efficient (Mixture-of-Experts)
Llama has a concrete GDPR concern. The Llama 4 Acceptable Use Policy prohibits the multimodal models for businesses headquartered in the EU. Dutch businesses therefore may not install the multimodal Llama 4 models themselves under the licence. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in physiotherapy.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionPatient data is special category personal data (GDPR). Use only solutions with EU hosting and a data processing agreement; consultation audio recordings must not be sent unencrypted to external servers. A therapist remains ultimately responsible for the content of the record.
Self-hosting gives full data control within your own EU infrastructure, a strong GDPR argument.
