Impressive, motivation & modification
I have always known I needed to do daily PT exercises on my own to help my pain and balance but, I was never motivated to do them, never could remember what to do and afraid I would do them wrong causing more pain.
This app has motivated me to daily stretches every morning with a reminder text, planned program and with the sensors, I am more confident that I am doing them correctly. Plus I know there are therapists monitoring me. They send me feedback and communicate with me weekly via texts and emails. I also sent them feedback when the side bends were causing me pain flareups and they were able to substitute that exercise with another that does not cause pain.
I also enjoy reading the various topics on healthy habits and retraining my brain. There are also many member chat groups that I have joined for advice from other members on a variety of topics like diet and recipe ideas. I am very impressed with this program and thank my insurance company for introducing me to Hinge. And I thank Hinge for making this an easy motivator to keep me moving. Use it or lose it!Show lessMetalsqueenBee

Hinge Health was a god send when it was mentioned and offered to me. It helped me to work on my hip through physical therapy type exercises online, and I was even partnered with a coach. It helped me to get tone, balance, and functional use back into my daily life. Hinge Health focused and layered it’s exercises for my specific situation. I have made improvements and have even gained strength and stamina back enough to return to the gym, as well as to hiking and basic everyday productivity. The greatest benefit for me has been avoiding hip surgery, and I credit Hinge Health for that accomplishment.
My only complaint is that it has run out of new exercises since I have started as it only has 40 lessons and now just repeats the last lesson for me. The other comment is that they did an upgrade that wasn’t an upgrade, but rather seems like a down grade because the achievement and recording part that charted accomplishments have never been upgraded or back online again, even though it keeps saying it will be done soon, it never yet has been back, and it has been months. It was a motivating component that now is lacking.
Overall, Hinge Health has been a very helpful program to me and I am very thankful for Hinge Health, and my Hinge Health coach.Show lessB. Ilima

My employer provided this app as a way to get healthy for those of us who suffer pain associated with a back injury. I fall in this category. Over one and a half years ago, I began the app. The stretching and position holds really helped alleviate back pain but also improved flexibility (think being able to sit on floor with legs stretched out in front of you). My back issue (previous tailbone dislocation and 2 herniated disks in lumbar region) improved tremendously. It worked better than the epidural blocks and chiropractor treatments in about 12 weeks of stretching a few minutes each week. I was able to return to regular exercise and have lost about 11 lbs. Now I am an infrequent user but every time I do the Hinge Health stretches I think why not do it more! A tool that gives achievable goals and helps improve flexibility and balance. You will not be disappointed if you keep at it.Show lessladyofmac

I have Rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. I have been VERY pleased with this app. The exercises are short and really have helped with my posture and shoulder pain. The coaches are soooo encouraging! They will text you to check in and see how you are doing. You can be completely honest with them and they will help and encourage you. I have yet to be able to do all 3 sessions in a week and they say that even if I can make a goal to do one of the exercises 3x a week that that would be a great start if that is all I can do. If you need extra help, they have physical therapists that will help to personalize your exercises even more if the given exercises are not working for you. I also started using their Enso (like a tens unit without cords attached) and it is amazing!! I control it with my phone and It connects with the hinge app. It is maybe 1in x 1in and attaches to the patch. I use it at work, home, while driving, etc. it has given me a lot of pain relief. Next I will work on my back so I can gain ab strength to help support my back.Show lesslet God transform you

It’s amazing with Hinge Health I can’t believe just how great I feel after stretching. Prior to this I would jump out of bed and start doing manual labor and constantly being paying for the cost of the day. Now that I find the time to spend only 15 minutes a day before finishing my morning coffee I find I have so much more energy. I remember when I was going to a physical therapist I always feel younger because I always had more range of motion. With Hinge Health I am taking control and I am doing my exercises at least three days per week.
Thanks to the amazing staff that follows my progress and chimes in every time I have a question. I have created a motto for them. Good better best never let it rest until the good is better and the better is best. On a sidenote as a result of not feeling the pain and being able to do more in the cost of the day I’ve actually lost 25 pounds since I started with hinge I want to give them credit for that as well.Show lessZippy2685

This is my 4th week. I have been consistent about following the exercises and I can notice the difference. I am meditating, doing the therapy, and using an elliptical. All this is really helping me to overcome my tension and pain. Brandon, my coach, is in contact all the time. In the beginning, I thought it was a computer answering back, but now I know I have a real person on the other side asking questions and providing answers to my needs. It is a great option to do my therapy. I do not have to drive or schedule a long time to do it. I can do it at any time. The sensors help to make sure I am moving correctly.
All I have to say is really positive things about the program.Show lessMERCKroa
Back pain managed!
I was experiencing a lot of back pain and discomfort as well as shoulder pain. I think it’s from sitting at my desk all day plus my posture was not great. I started noticing company emails about hinge health and decided to learn more about it; it was the best decision! I’ve been doing the exercises consistently for a few weeks and seen a huge improvement in my pain levels. My coach also checks in and provides encouragement. They are also very willing to modify the plan. For example, my initial plan was for back pain only and I told my coach about my shoulder and they added those exercises as well.Show lessSully MN
Great Results
Hinge Health has helped me reduce pain and regain function after a movement-related injury didn’t resolve on its own. The app has been an essential tool during that time and ongoing enhancements have proven useful. I had been been told by my physicians to expect joint replacement of a hip and knee within a year due to previously unrecognized osteoarthritis, but that anniversary is almost here and it doesn’t appear that will be happening anytime soon. The ongoing encouragement and practical advice from my HH coach has been highly beneficial and been supported by a designated physical therapist when needed. If a specific exercise was inaccessible to me with typical modifications, they were there with good suggestions that helped me eventually accomplish it. I have resumed many activities that had been curtailed, including some that had slipped away without me recognizing it. Being able to work in HH’s structured PT program for a sustained period vs. a short term more typical program has been key.Show lessBunny7071

Best regards, Jess from Hinge Health SupportGreat for beginners and reminder to STRETCH
I started a program with Hinge Health to improve pain in my body. I’m fairly active so I set the reminders to be 5 days a week. They sent me everything I needed to do a full workout and yoga set at home. I strategically set my daily routine to what is usually my lunch time. I really like that it will text me to remind me to do the program and that makes me do it. I coupled this program with another short daily program I do so when the first alarm goes off, I put my game face on. The sensors they send you are very sensitive and the charge lasts a LONG time. Easy to set up and use hardware and the app is intuitive too. I like that it links my progress to my Cigna for points on my wellness program through work. That means I get a discount on health insurance after a certain amount of time on the program. I’ve had two “ health coaches” reach out to me for feedback and possible adjustments in the routines I’m getting. They are quick to respond by text and very friendly. I would recommend EVERYONE do this. Perfect program for ALL AGES.Show lessSwimminbird

I had to stick with it at least a month to feel the pain really go fully away. I try to do the exercises at least 5 times a week. They are short and very helpful! I went from holding onto a table to pull myself up with pain to bending without pain. The exercises don’t seem like much since they don’t take a long time and are not difficult. But they really worked for me! I never would have thought I could replace my chiropractor with an app! They also have suggestions for modifications which is nice.Show lessSantefegirl
