Better care early in someone’s pain journey helps them recover through movement and lifestyle changes, while avoiding unnecessary and costly interventions like imaging or surgery.

Digital MSK solutions like Hinge Health make this conservative treatment convenient and engaging. It starts with technology that can enable fast, easy access to treatment. Hinge Health members can start their personalized exercise program immediately after joining. On-demand sessions let members choose when and where to do exercise therapy (most opt for times outside of traditional clinic hours).

To achieve outcomes with conservative care, people must stick with treatment. While adherence to traditional physical therapy is low,¹ Hinge Health focuses on habit formation. Our research shows that people who reach a “habit point” (six therapy sessions in two weeks) are much more likely to stay consistent in their program.²

How does digital care reduce healthcare utilization?

When people do exercise therapy regularly and work with a care team for holistic pain relief, it leads to a proven reduction in surgery and opioid prescriptions compared to people who receive traditional PT care.
