Adjusting your Measurement System Preferences

Practice Better allows you to enter and track client measurements using either the imperial system (lbs, inches) or metric system (kg, cm).

The measurement system you choose applies to all clients in your account. Team members in a team account will also be required to use this system to track client measurements.
