Dear Provider,

Hinge Health is a personalized digital rehabilitation program that includes exercise, health coaching, and education. It is designed to help manage musculoskeletal pain and encourage lasting lifestyle changes that center around movement. The Hinge Health program is delivered through a mobile app and is supported by physical therapists, health coaches, and orthopedic physicians. We encourage members to use Hinge Health at least three times a week. 

Convenient Exercise Therapy

Each member in the Hinge Health program has access to their own physical therapist who creates a personalized exercise program for their specific needs, goals, and abilities. Physical therapists monitor each member’s progress and adjust their program accordingly to build muscle strength, flexibility, and mobility while reducing musculoskeletal pain. Members benefit from the convenience of accessing therapy through a mobile app while receiving invaluable personalized guidance from an experienced physical therapist. 

Expert Behavioral Support

Physical therapists are available to members via messaging and video visits to discuss issues that contribute to their pain and create customized care plans to help improve pain and function. Members also work with a certified health coach for additional support. Coaches are behavior change experts who help members build healthy habits, overcome obstacles, achieve personal goals, and stay consistent with exercise. Consistency with exercise therapy is linked to greater improvements in musculoskeletal pain.

Empowering Education

Members receive educational content about their condition to build knowledge, promote healthy habits, and get practical behavioral strategies. Improving health literacy in this way empowers members to overcome their pain.

While programs vary depending on a person’s symptoms, progress, and goals, the general outcomes are similar. On average, our members experience approximately 70% reduction in pain in their first 12 weeks alone. If you have questions about Hinge Health and your patient, please do not hesitate to contact your patient's physical therapist.

In good health,

The Hinge Health Clinical Care Team
