Critical in my recovery

Recovering from MPFL so the only feature I’ve used has been the flexion calculator. It’s been more consistent with its measurements than my pt, and helps me know my morning flexion as well as warmed up. Seeing the numbers move slowly but surely has been critical for my mental health over these long months. Before I found this app I would wait desperately between pt appointments wondering if my body was even doing anything.

Journaling for PT for my left knee
Walked today deliberately pens

TKR recovery while traveling.

The app provides the exercises and guidance I needed to recover from total knee replacement surgery while traveling. I find the chat feature especially helpful when I have questions about my recovery.

Very much worth it!

The exercises are clear and easy to follow along. I took a 1 yr subscription and got a free consultation with Dr Nirtal Shah. I got a few customisations for the exercises and I’m seeing improvements with my 1 week’s use so far. Also, the in app Q&A support queries are responded in time. I was looking for a long term physio routine for strengthening and and rebuilding my muscles. This suits perfectly.

Response from developer

Thank you very much and it was a pleasure working with you during your Video Physiotherapy session. It’s great to work with people like you who are so motivated to recover. I appreciate you purchasing an annual subscription and I hope that the app helps you continue with your ACL rehabilitation and recovery. As always please feel free to reach out to me via our in-app chat and a physiotherapist will answer any questions that you may have. All the best, Nirtal Shah, Physiotherapist

Great tool

I had an MPFL reconstruction and, while I’m doing in person PT and don’t need exercise guidance, the ability to track my pre/post exercise flexion at home has been incredibly helpful. I would be more inclined to use the other features of this app if the ACL wasn’t the only option for a ligament injury.

Recovery from Knee Surgery

I find Curovate very helpful. I decided to do my own PT for the first two weeks before I start outpatient. Curate walks me through the exercises with an easy check off list and I can see where I’m making progress as well as understand how I’m supposed to be doing the exercises, One of the only things that I Find fault with is the glute exercise, which says to lie on your stomach.. I kept getting bleed through from my incision, because of doing it on my stomach, so instead, I do those standing up and that solves the problem.

Good program, wish app worked a little differently

I just had ACL surgery recently. A friend had suggested this app after I complained that my physical therapist I’d seen for prehab was not giving me a structured program of exercises to follow and every session was random and felt like a waste of money and time. Curovate has filled that void and I’m glad to have it. But I do have one big issue with the UI/UX. If you don’t mark all your exercises completed, then when you open the app the next day, it takes you to the last incomplete day. This makes is so that you yourself are responsible for keeping track of what day of what section you should be on, and you have to lie about what you did in order to have it go to the correct day on its own. I want to be able to see that I didn’t do everything on a certain day. Maybe my pain was worse that day so i backed off. I would expect this app to work more like fitbit or myfitnesspal and open to the day you’re on and show your variation in adhering to the plan. Instead it’s more like a learning app where you would have to complete everything in one unit before moving on.

Ok, but has bugs

I got this after I had TKR and started the first set of exercises. When I changed the orientation of my iPad, it reset the timer for the exercise. I was halfway through so had to kind of figure out my own timing. Useful,but hopefully more stable in other functions.

Also, does not seem possible to change the exercise intensity and duration to what my doctor prescribes, only what they designed into the program, which is different.

Excellent help

After my ACL reconstruction I started using this app since day 1. I am now at day 20 and this app has taken me through all stages, providing adequate plans, way of keeping track of the progress and physiotherapist feedbacks and suggestions. It s the best thing I could have done in such a struggling time! Thank you!

Knee replacement

I’ve been using this app for about two years first prepping then rehabbing two knee replacements. It has been an incredible resource.

Good for rehabilitation

Response from developer

I’m glad that you are finding the app useful for your rehabilitation.

Amazing

After having MPFL, ACL and meniscus done and really struggling to make improve my flexion and extension and just progress in general. This app really helped me keep to schedule and make sure I did all my workouts. You do have to pay for the app but it is well worth it, you can speak to a physio who does reply fairly quickly and gives better advice then my hospitals physio! Also being able to track your flexion and extension, amazing app well worth paying for. 100% recommendation anyone who’s had this injury and needs help keeping up with their excerises !

Great app

Have used this app for rehab pre and post ACL operation - really compliments and extends my physiotherapy, super happy with it

Great for prehab and rehab

I started doing exercises with this program a few weeks before my knee replacement and continued to use it for the next several months. now 3+ months and I’m still using it. It’s a wonderful program and the tech-support is readily available if you need it.
I bought a year’s subscription with one consultation and it was a very beneficial consultation. my physical therapist here was impressed with how far I had come when I started in person physical therapy two weeks after the surgery.

Great app powered by a PT

I highly recommend Curovate for anyone looking for guidance outside of traditional in-person physical therapy for strictly ACL injuries. Nirtal is always available via the app if additional advice is required.
