The Hinge Health™ app makes the Virtual Muscle and Joint Health Program conveniently accessible. It provides personalized access to care for:

Musculoskeletal, or MSK, pain prevention
Short-term and long-term pain
Surgery preparation and recovery
Exercise therapy for pelvic floor strength

Personalized care at your fingertips

Dedicated support from a specialized care team, including physical therapists and orthopedic surgeons
Live access to board-certified health coaches by text, phone or video chat
Stretching and exercise sessions, condition-related education and other resources

After creating your account, you'll need to answer a few short questions about your muscle and joint health. This will help determine your eligibility for the program and whether you’ll receive a tailored care kit. This custom kit is meant to fit your needs with materials like a yoga mat, wearable device to manage pain, phone stand or exercise bands.
