- Your Hinge Health Roadmap
Welcome to Hinge Health! We’re excited to support your journey to reduce pain and feel better with our proven program — designed by our clinical team of orthopedic and pain management doctors, physical therapists, and behavior change specialists.
Have some questions about what’s next? We thought you might, so let’s talk.
How Do I Get Started?
Do your first exercise therapy session. Signing in is easy — just use your cell phone number or the same email address and password you used to access this article. The app will guide you step by step through your first session, which will take about 15 minutes. As you progress in your program and complete more sessions, you’ll receive helpful tools to support your journey, such as resistance bands, a phone stand, and a yoga mat. For more details on how to log in and navigate your first session, read Getting Started With Your Hinge Health Program.
Be consistent. Our physical therapists recommend completing at least three sessions in your app each week. (If you can do it daily, even better.) Research shows this is the best way to build a habit and see results. This will help reduce your pain and return to your favorite activities.
Each Hinge Health session includes a 10- to 15-minute playlist: a gentle exercise therapy routine + a short educational article.
Your Hinge Health care team will be there to support you for every step of your journey. So let’s meet the team.
Who’s on My Care Team?
Your physical therapist is a musculoskeletal and movement expert who customizes your exercise program, oversees your care, and helps you relieve pain, recover from injuries, and move more easily.
Your health coach is a behavior change expert who helps you set meaningful goals, build exercise routines, manage lifestyle factors like stress and sleep, and stay motivated to reduce pain and improve symptoms. You can learn more about what a health coach does here.
The members of your care team will work together to support you and help you stick with your program. Remember: Consistency is key!
We recognize that using a digital tool to treat your pain may be new, but it works. Hundreds of members tell us every day how Hinge Health has relieved their pain and changed their lives. Our data shows that members on average experience a 68% reduction in pain and a 58% decrease in depression and anxiety.
You’ll hear more from your care team soon. If you need support before then, message them in your app using the My Care tab. In the meantime, get ready to start feeling better — by making Hinge Health your habit.
