Hinge Health for Positive User Reviews
✓ Staying healthy with Hinge HealthI am happy that this program had been offered to me after seeing a Orthopedic Doctor for my back pain. In December of last year I could barely walk. After 3 sessions of physical therapy, I was better and could walk much better, but I found it hard to stick with the 3 redundant exercises. I received an offer to participate in the Hinge Health program at no cost through my Health Insurance. I am so glad that I accepted the offer! I am exercising my back on a regular basis (at home, takes just a small amount of time, at a convenient time for me and my schedule, and at NO COST) I am mostly pain free every day. I have several exercises that I can do on my own without equipment when I start to feel back pain. I also have a consultant that checks in on me and my progress daily. She is there to offer support and always cheers me on when I complete the daily exercise program!.Version: 1.131.0
✓ Hinge Health Physical Therapy ProgramI have been participating in this program for almost a year now. I have seen and felt my progress since starting this program. I have been working on range of motion and rebuilding muscle after having both knees replaced. This program has been a great opportunity to continue PT at home on my time, and most importantly with active support from physical therapist. The PT’s regularly check in with me especially if I have noted a problem I was or am having. I definitely recommend Hinge Health Physical Therapy Program to anyone who needs physical therapy. I have improved ROM, I can walk three miles without pain in my knees due to doing this program. The exercises play list are gentle and short to complete. I am very thankful that my spouses employer offers this free service to us..Version: 1.139.0
✓ Small steps add upIn 2020, I had my first knee surgery: a partial replacement. I was told my other knee would probably need surgery in 2 years followed by total knee replacements in both knees and a high probability of a wheelchair late in life. I didn’t like that picture. We downsized our home and bought one with a pool. Utilizing it regularly helped. When Health Hinge was offered at work, I decided to add it to my routine. At first it didn’t seem like much, and yet I could feel some discomfort after completing the exercises. I persisted and saw my body strengthen. I can tell the difference when bending; I am stronger. That second knee surgery isn’t needed at this time (a year past the predicted timeline). My hope is by continuing to participate in these exercises, a wheelchair will never be required…time will tell. In the meantime, I am enjoying the improved movement..Version: 1.139.0
✓ Love itI had a back injury due to work for a year in a half. I have been just ok with pain and taking pain medication to get through the day when I return to work. My husband told me about Hinge which he was recommended by his job. He had done Hinge for a 6-12 month which help his neck and shoulder discomfort. When saw that it worked he signed me up through his job. I was skeptical and not sure what to do but the discomfort was unbearable so I a gave it try. It’s been 6 weeks and I am moving easier, sitting, standing and bending easier. Now….I do have tenderness but the article are very helpful after each session explaining about movement with pain and how to move to help with discomfort. I would recommend this to anyone with chronic pain because it works. Down side are the sensors. I use them during the sessions to targets the right moves to make. The difficulty in use is the connection and positioning. It makes your movement looks like you are not doing well…. even though if you are. It makes it seem as though you are moving well. The PT team are great I communicate my needs and they make adjustments to help the discomfort. The Hinge is great! Give it try what can you loss…do it because pain free..Version: 1.141.0
✓ My back pain is all but goneI had dealt with lower back pain for years. I herniated a disc and have degenerative disc in my L5. I sit at a computer for my job. While I would get up and walk around a bit to help the pain was always there. I just figured this is just how it is going to be. I received an email offering the hinge program. I thought why not. I love that not only did it give you suggested exercises and stretches, you also check in by logging your pain, and then there are short articles about managing your pain and other helpful things. The best part has got to be a couple months into the program I realized that I had gone several days without even noticing the pain. I had increased my core strength and supporting muscles as I diligently completed my exercises 3 times a week. (That was my goal) I can honestly say that hinge has changed my life. I recommend it to all of my coworkers and have told my doctors about it! Hinge is amazing..Version: 1.136.0
✓ Leaps and boundsI had been thinking about doing some kind of regular exercise for a while to help my back and ankle pain that are the result of mild scoliosis and psoriatic arthritis. After an intense bout of back pain I knew I had to do something or give up. I had received flyers in Hinge Health but never followed up - I didn’t know what it was. Well, it is a mild, app-driven exercise program targeted to GRADUALLY get your joints stronger. The exercises start slowly and easily and appeared to be tailored to your age and ability. I have been doing the exercises each week - at least three days a week (I usually do more) for a month and although I still have some very mild pain the difference between before and now is incredible. I wish I would have started sooner. I highly recommend Hinge Health. It had helped me so much! The articles are mostly interesting and the staff that you can send messages to respond well..Version: 1.128.0
✓ It is better than going to PTI have gone to physical therapy and down hinge health. In my opinion, hinge health is much more personal and custom than attending a physical therapy clinic. For me, it is very stressful to drive, interact with strangers, do exercises in front of other strangers in a large PT area. I think plhusical therapists are the nicest people, but I have GAD, and I hate going to any appointments. They take up a lot of mental, emotional, and physical energy as well as money and time. I like doing my hinge health in my pajamas at home. I can talk to my coach any time, and my coach is very nice. Even though I get stressed out by talking on the phone, it was not bad at all, and then after that we were able to talk via text and email mainly, so it is much less stress for me. She also gave me alternative exercises when I was struggling with one of the exercises. Overall, I think it’s a wonderful program and when I stick to it, my pain is much decreased..Version: 1.64.1
✓ Hinge HealthHinge 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..Version: 1.122.2
✓ I love Hinge HealthI am a walking advertisement for Hinge Health. I have been doing the program for three months and I tell everyone who has back problems that at 60 I feel 10 years younger. I can do a lot of things that I had stopped doing such as lifting, squatting down to investigate plants and insects, and biking. My mental health is better than ever, and the fear that I had of injuring myself has subsided. My coach, Holly is phenomenal and checks in, provides encouragement, and recently recommended a meditation app, which has also helped a lot. A few years ago I just assumed that down the road I would eventually have to have back surgery as I have a family history of back problems. I intend to continue the program and hopefully will never have to have surgery. Thank you! This program is great!.Version: 1.140.0
✓ Best After PT helpI came across Hinge Health while still on my companies health plan. I’ve suffered back issues since my early 20’s and I’m now 65. I’ve been thru PT multiple times, have been doing their exercises almost religiously for years and quite frankly wasn’t getting any improvement. Finally got some X-rays a yr ago and found I have a significant curve to my back now and a significant slipped disc. Now I know why I hurt so bad! Anyway…I decided to try Hinge Health with their motivational coach, nearly 30 weeks ago, and I get better relief from doing their exercises, than I did with going and paying for PT!! I highly recommend corporations integrate this with their health plans as a benefit for their employees. It would be even better if Hinge Health was available to the public for a small fee. Doing my daily, ever changing exercises (mo boredom here) have made my life so much better. Thank you for making my life more tolerable..Version: 1.136.2
✓ Life changing with small stepsHinge health came into my life about a year ago. I began the program along with other activities including physical therapy. Then last June I moved and messed up my ankle in the process. I could not or would not do much and I moved back to square—well, not 1 but square 2 or 3 for sure. I decided to revisit HH. I cannot say enough about the good support this app provides, all of the professional assistance, and the coaching. Daily reminders keep me mindful that if I can do nothing else I can squeeze in 10 min a day. I’m not going to escape without surgery, I feel. But if I can put it off at least 3 years I’ll be so grateful. It’s been a little over a year and my ankle is almost well. I’m also on a medication that is supposed to help my mood and my joints. I think it is working. Bottom line, though, I’m doing so much better because of the constancy of Hinge Health. One of the greatest uses of technology ever!!.Version: 1.131.0
✓ Life ChangingThis app has changed my life. There are so many things that has improved in my body. I used to not be able to get dressed without leaning on a wall because I had so much pain in my lower back. Now I’m able just to lift my legs and get dressed with no problem at all. I literally tried this thinking it wasn’t gonna work, but when I started noticing improvements, I continued on, completed the whole program and I still do it all the time. If I get busy and I’m not able to do it, I can tell that my body definitely needs me to go back and open up my Hinge Health app and do stretches. I’ve even screenshot it some of the movements and do them in between patients if I’m able to and while I’m cooking dinner anytime I get a chance that I’m just standing by myself I will stretch..Version: 1.139.0
✓ Actually amazingThis got added to my job’s benefit package so I have no idea how much it costs, but it’s literally perfect for me. I have diagnosed anxiety disorder/bi polar/adhd so public isn’t a real option for me in most cases and I’ve been wanting to add some form of stretching/yoga/tai chi to my life. I’m definitely stronger and more flexible and it absolutely helps when I’m overwhelmed/stressed out. Which is every day. So I use it every day. I was really surprised when the equipment showed up, everything is really good quality and I got a nice yoga mat included for free. I love being able to get a surprisingly good workout in without being stressed out about the people around me or what I look like doing it or anything. You get a real live coach which is really nice, if actually TOO communicative for me unfortunately. She was very nice though and really encouraging. And like, they don’t mind if you talk about things lol So yeah, I love it..Version: 1.129.0
✓ J MorganAfter cervical spine surgery, my therapy was due to start on March 12th 2020. Going to physical therapy wasn’t an option thanks to COVID-19, and I believe it really impacted my recovery. Hinge Health not only helped me as an alternative to PT, it was the reason I committed to exercising with regularity. It has provided me with the tools to help my neck and I rely on the stretches/exercises throughout the day even when I don’t use the app. But again - it was the catalyst that put me on the path to staying active, and for that I am beyond grateful. I’m more fit than I’ve been in the last 30 years, and I’m 50. Also - Coach Megan has been great not only with being so accessible with any questions I had regarding my neck regimen but also with providing me with routines to help with hip, lower back, core strength and others that I use on almost a daily basis. HH has improved my quality of life and has changed my lifestyle - thank you!.Version: 1.104.2
✓ Better than in person physical therapyI hesitated to start this program because I have been to physical therapy three different times with little to no success. Previous therapist rushed me out of therapy leaving me to deal with pain and lack of mobility. With three sprained backs, two bad knees, and a lifelong list of small injuries. I had my doubts. But I saw immediate improvement with Hinge Therapy. I was able to sleep through the night for the first time in almost 2 years. My knees have stopped randomly swelling and I have not needed pain shots I am now able to go back to doing crunches and situps after not being able to do them for years. I am back to kickboxing and doing some yoga as well as boxing and I feel like I I have gained years on my life Hinge Therapy was one of the best things that ever happened to me and I am more than certain you will feel the same way..Version: 1.140.0
✓ Life-changingAfter 3 reconstructive knee surgeries, I eventually became bone-on-bone with severe arthritis. My orthopedic surgeon told me I couldn’t do any weight bearing activities, weightlifting or even swimming. His advice for treatment was to wait till the pain got so bad I could not stand it and then he’d do a knee replacement. I was 38. Within a few months of starting Hinge, I had increased flexibility, was doing weight bearing exercises without pain and my daily pain was noticeably less. After 6 months, there was drastic improvement in mobility, strength and pain reduction. I have tried many different PT programs and exercises but there is something about the way this program is designed that led to different results. Even after falling off and not maintaining my therapy rhythm for a period, my pain never returned to what it was and I maintained much of my flexibility. But I’m back on the wagon again bc it literally has changed my life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!.Version: 1.133.0
✓ Love this program!This opportunity came very unexpectedly in the mail so I decided to check into it not sure what to expect thinking I had nothing to lose. I’ve had chronic daily headaches and neck stiffness for more years than I can count so it has just become part of me, but I am just so tired of never getting relief. I can honestly say the program and the incredible support (shout out to Jaime) I am receiving has made this a welcome part of my life every day. I have only missed a couple of sessions for the past month or longer and look forward to this every day. I do wholeheartedly believe I am making progress and the effort isn’t too much honestly. I would say give it a try! Also the articles I read after each “session” are empowering and give me the opportunity to think about changing how I feel about pain. I am thankful for this gift!.Version: 1.120.4
✓ Great for beginners and reminder to STRETCHI 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..Version: 1.118.2
✓ Great ResultsHinge 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..Version: 1.119.3
✓ Impressive, motivation & modificationI 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!.Version: 1.122.3
✓ Still going strong….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 in pain. Now that I find the time to spend 15 minutes a day before lifting heavy equipment 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 doing more exercises I was able to loss 25 pounds since I started with hinge I want to give them credit for that as well..Version: 1.139.0
✓ Hinge Health is ExcellentI have been using the Hinge Health app for several months. I have been dealing with back issues on and off for thirteen years. Hinge Health is one of the best tools I have found to address my issues. Each user can set their own goals for frequency of the exercise and flexibility “playlists.” Three sessions a week is a recommended minimum target but I am shooting for 7 a week. Making it a daily practice keeps my back and lower body flexible and capable for my daily tasks. I also enjoy the routine as a good start to my day. The audio and visually guided exercises are varied and increase in challenge and intensity over time. Wearable monitors that are Bluetooth linked to the app assist in tracking pace and range of motion. It’s like having a trainer in the room with you. I hear almost daily from a coach - that is clearly not a bot but an actual human in touch with my progress. Following each session’s routines there is a reflection or thought piece that encourages mindfulness, resilience and a deeper understanding of the mind/body relationship in pain and injury recovery. These are very helpful and I would think especially so for people who are just starting a journey of recovery..Version: 1.114.1
✓ Having a partner along the way!The Hinge Health app and program are a wonderful way to just spend a few minutes a few times a week to work on those nagging pains. I have spent the last nine months methodically moving through the guided program with the help of the Hinge Health coaches and therapists. The coaches are there in the background monitoring your weekly activities and providing encouragement. They are always available for consultation if needed. They help with adjusting your program and making sure you are able to stay on track. The app is a constant companion in delivering the guided program. The app also provides a weekly wellness articles to help answer common pain questions and to dismiss many myths around exercise. Best of all, when you have completed the program, you continue to have access to all the exercises in the program and the articles..Version: 1.130.0
✓ Great appThis app is amazing! While it’s me at to help folks with severe back pain and issues I was not in that category. My issue was general tightness and discomfort in my back which I could not stretch away. The app with the guided workouts that progress as you do the work has been great for me. My back feels much better and I have been introduced to some new things like balance exercises. That’s something I never did before and frankly i struggled the first time it asked me to do a wood pecker but little by little I have improved on those meaning my balance and posture are better. There is a coach assigned to you for motivation and questions. This can be great for people that need it. The work is usually under 15 minutes so very easy to work into your schedule There are also great articles on everything well being like meditation. Lastly the app itself works great on all my devices so no issues there..Version: 1.106.0
✓ Great but wish it would continueThe Hinge neck program has been great. I first thought that the easiness of the exercises was because they don’t know the degree of your injury or chronic pain, but it’s really just to get you moving and progressing. The exercises never really got too much harder but they certainly worked the supporting muscle groups so my neck and back feel stronger and my chronic pain is greatly reduced. The program has 40 levels and you can get through a level in a few days. I wish the levels advanced beyond 40 but my coach said you just need to go back and repeat some. This is less motivating than trying to complete a level. I suggest they offer a way to generate Levels 40+ that would mix and match exercises from levels 30-40 and then you just keep going as long as you want to. Otherwise, this has been a great program and I thank my employer for making this available for free..Version: 1.80.1
✓ Great Way to Work on Problem AreasI have been having trouble with my knees more and more as I age. I found I could barely squat and cannot do it fully yet, due to sore, stiff knees. Once I committed to doing the Hinge exercises specifically targeting my knees, I find I can climb stairs with my arms loaded much easier. And those squats? Well I keep getting lower and lower as I work out. Change is not instantaneous- but working with hinge has helped me change the way I am able to move through my everyday life - with much more ease and much less pain. And Hinge is done in the privacy of your home. You can do the exercises when you travel ( if you get wifi service). I was able to get my husband to try it for his painful back. He is still using Hinge now, too. I highly recommend Hinge for those suffering as I was..Version: 1.130.0
✓ Has no idea help was possible!My neck was hard to use. Hard to lift my head from a looking downward position and had to help lift it up with my hand. In much constant debilitating pain, I took medicine regularly for relief and to function. It was hard to look side to side, look overhead, sit, and stand. After about ten weeks on the program my skepticism ended when I was able to more freely lift my head and then within a few more weeks I was amazingly functioning with better movement, strength, and confidence. I have been on the program now for at least eighteen months and hardly ever need medication. My pain stays manageable when I stay consistent with completing my playlists. This is the perfect program for the busy person, and it delivers true and lasting results. The quality of my life has improved greatly with my Hinge Health experience. I’m grateful beyond measure!.Version: 1.125.0
✓ Review from a 57 year old lady.This program has giving me aValuable tool that I use daily to help me first of all get strong and second part stays dry. The more I put in to my exercises the more I get out of them. For example, gardening that used to be very hard for me because of my lower back pain, it still hurts just not as much and not as soon. I’m able to stay longer in the garden Garden I’m not as afraid of pain as much as I was before now I believe there’s things I can do to control the rate of pain. in my circumstance, I will be living with pain forever. However, I think I have a lot of influence on how much pain I will have. My coach has been a vital part of this, she seems to have figured out what I need physically and mindfully, and it’s been a positive influence through my whole journey. Never too pushy never disappoint it just gentle encouragement and understanding when I have fallen short my own set goals my coach is always there to answer questions..Version: 1.123.0
✓ Makes you strongerI’m using this to strengthen my back. Point based workouts allow you to work your way up to gradually more challenging workouts. My invitation to use this app came with two Bluetooth sensors that measure your movement and can tell you when to start and stop each exercise, and if you are doing the exercises correctly. You also get useful information about your body and how your pain system works. And you get matched with an online coach to help you along. I wish there we a way to add workouts for other parts of your body. I recently injured my shoulder and went to PT. I’m not at 100% so it would be nice if this app could give rotator cuff exercises. It would also be nice if you could reset yourself to a lower level If you suffer a setback/injury that prevents you from picking up where you left off. I was up at level 14 and then crashed on my bicycle and had to take 10 weeks off for my ribs and shoulder to partially heal. I took myself back to level 7 but I’m still accruing points, and the app just moved me to level 16 - there’s no way I could do the level 16 exercises. Just a few minor tweaks would make this an excellent app for providing exercise guidance. I really like that it remembers all the exercises - you just do what it tells you..Version: 1.65.2
✓ My New NormalI started Hindge Health in 2022. At that time my back wasn’t in great shape. I had had a physical therapist tell me I had significantly lost a lot of my range of motion. I couldn’t afford to go through physical therapy twice a week nor could I take the time off work. I started Hindge Health hoping for a miracle and boy did I get one. I’ve learned so much about dealing with pain. I have almost no pain now. I was off the program for a few weeks due ti work demands. I put my back health on the back burner. I could tell a big decline in my mobility, stiffness and balance and the pain was starting to creep back into my daily activities. I’m back on the program and I hope I never stop practicing what I’ve learn. My coach Hyla has always been there in a non pushy way and I’m so grateful for her. This program really works trust me. I’ve since fallen and broken a vertebrae. It was severe enough to require surgery and I’m completely mended now. I am trying to get back into my routine with my exercises and other daily habits. I’m confident I will succeed..Version: 1.123.0
✓ Just another piece of paper in the mailWhen I found out about hinge health, it was because I received a flyer in the mail. Almost threw it out until I decided to read it because it said free on it with my insurance company. I’m glad that I did read because I have been set up with a wonderful program that’s going to assist me with becoming stronger and hopefully having less pain and not having to have surgery, I love working with the staff to set up my exercise program to make me stronger. The feedback from the staff is always great. The articles that they give me to read are empowering. I am just glad that I did not throw that paper away. I called and salt help for knee pain, and as I have come to learn, wear and tear and deterioration of our knees is normal, whether we experience an accident or not with knees, we don’t have to be limited in our motions. We can become stronger and learn to live and move with less pain but it doesn’t have to be intense pain if we strengthen our muscles. I feel blessed to have a coach and work with a physical therapist to get into better knees. Awesome Program!.Version: 1.118.2
✓ Coaches are very responsive.Provided through work benefits. It’s a great program, and you’re actually working with people who respond and truly cater your program for you. A coach to motivate you, even if you only respond maybe 1/8 times. And a PT that adjusts the workouts to your need. When I injured my ankle, they adjusted my plan to still get a target workout on my issue, Hip, and work my way back up to my feet. When I ghosted and fell off the wagon and stopped doing the exercises; no qualms. No beef. When I logged back in and did a work out. They were back. When I realized I needed to start back in the beginner workouts, and my ankle is still a little loose; boom, workouts set back to beginner, and modifications or different ways to stretch the same muscle that are nicer to my ankle. Highly recommend..Version: 1.130.0
✓ Highly recommendI started PT via Hinge Health after finishing my in person PT. I was not feeling 100%, constantly in pain but intensity was very low. I was skeptical in the beginning but video instruction are very helpful. Sensors are helpful but you can decide not to use them. After 6 weeks of stretching, my pain was nonexistent. I liked the program because of the personal coach. They will check your progress, keep in touch and send you encouragement. Coach also advised and adjusted/added different stretches depending on my input. After finishing my first session, I have started another session with them. I had video conferences with the Physical therapist and decided to start a new regiment to help me strengthen myself. I am celebrating my five month anniversary with them. Anyone who is on fence about online PT should give it a try, 15-20 minutes a day, words of encouragement , It’s worth it.Version: 1.130.0
✓ From daily hip pain to occasionallyI was to the point of having severe nightly hip pain, burning pain! I would wake up several times a night due to that burning hip pain. My insurance offered to pay my full pt bill, so i figured if they were going to pay in full, there must be something to it. Signed up with Hinge and started immediately. The exercises were never difficult or painful, in fact I first thought they wouldn’t do any good because they were so easy. Working a week, I noticed a substantial decrease in pain, and was able to get through the night without the burning hip pain. My hip still ached, daily, but no where near the pain I was having. I went from an intolerable pain, to a manageable pain of which I would not go for surgery. After a few months of exercising every other day, I felt pretty good and slowed the days of exercising down to 2-3 a week, well before I knew it, I was getting that burning pain again. Started back on the other day routine, and within a couple of sessions, I was back on track and pain level was minimal. I can’t recommend Hinge Health more!.Version: 1.131.0
✓ More helpful than expectedI started this app because I was having so much pain in my hips and knees that I didn’t want to do things. I was also worried that I was going to need knee surgery and was willing to try to this to avoid surgery. I am fairly regular with the exercises and have most definitely found pain relief. The exercises are moderately challenging and about the time I start to get bored, they change. The articles are either good reminders of things I do know or an interesting take on something I didn’t know. My only complaint is that you can no change your focus area once you select on without deleting the app and starting all over again. Luckily for me, there is a lot of cross over between the exercises for your hips and for your knees. I have recommended this to several people including my husband who recently had a knee replacement..Version: 1.140.0
✓ Getting better!My neighbor and I talked in January about our New Years resolutions. We both experience daily neck or back pain. Listing mine I started to say I wanted to be free of pain. I had to “do something.” He told me he had just started Hinge and how he was improving his range of motion and getting a lot out of it. He said Hinge inspires him to do a bit more stretching after doing the short exercises from the program. Every time I see him now I thank him. Pain was the first thing I thought about every day. Neck pain was making every day tasks harder to do. The simple exercises help ease the pain and get things moving. When I am hurting, my tendency was to lay down with a heating pad and ibuprofen! Hinge exercises and the self care article following it, really have made a difference. The coach check in makes me accountable..Version: 1.86.1
✓ Helps loosen me up each morningHinge Health eases you into exercises in a gentle manner, but even the shortest exercise playlists help loosen the joints and muscles for the day when done in the morning. I love the communication with my health coach and the accessibility of my Physical Therapist. When I start to get stiff or feel pain throughout the day and can’t get away from my desk, I’ll do just a couple of the seated exercises and feel some relief until I’m able to get up and go for a walk. Many of the articles are helpful, too. In the beginning, I felt like they were just a ploy by the insurance companies to convince a person to avoid surgery, but now I feel like they were there to encourage me to keep going and not give up. They’ve also gotten much more concrete in the advice given, so I no longer groan when they pop up and instead, I actually seek out information that relates to my situation. You have to be committed to getting better so that you complete your playlists on a regular basis (at least 3 times per week, I’d say), but if you can add it to your morning or bedtime routine, it really will help reduce your pain..Version: 1.131.0
✓ Great app, needs considerations for exceptionsI have been using this app for over a month. Everything was going well and I had less pain and better mobility. I hit a small snag in my training and could not progress in my daily workouts. My PT told me to skip the daily playlists and go back to lower levels for a few days while healing. Sadly, the app does not take this into account. If you don’t use the daily playlist, you get no credit for your activity streaks or achievements. I wish that there was something in place to credit your daily work, even if it is not the daily playlists. Otherwise, I love this app and this program. EDIT: I found a way to change the levels on your daily playlist shortly after writing this review. Now my only minor wish is that that slider for your pain level would be a bit more precise. Maybe put numbers on it? SECOND EDIT: After taking time off due to a setback, I wanted a way to restart the program at day 1. The app does not account for this. *PLEASE* fix this! I’ve had a few people at HH give me ‘workarounds’ that don’t really help, so adding this feature would be incredibly useful..Version: 1.127.0
✓ Well guided workout with good resultsI have been using the app consistently for a few months. I’m doing the “neck” workout. The workout is 5-8 exercises, guided by a rhythmic tone. I start the exercise and close my eyes to follow the tones. Becomes almost meditative for me. This is not a cardio workout- but focused on flexibility and targeted muscle strengthening for the neck and upper back. Includes educational readings. I find this to be a well constructed program that has helped me physically and gives information worth thinking about. Importantly- the program is working for me. My arthritic neck and shoulders hurt less and my range of motion has increased. I am staying with the program because it doesn’t take long, I’m feeling better, and I learned I can do something positive to minimize and manage my discomfort without reaching for the Tylenol 😀 About a year later: I stopped doing the Hinge program after a hip replacement limited my mobility for activity for a number of weeks. After 3 months I recognized that I missed the program - my old symptoms of stiffness and limited range of motion were creeping back into my neck and shoulders. Feeling better back on the program..Version: 1.135.0
✓ Encouragement is amazing!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..Version: 1.120.2
✓ Tiny steady improvementI had knee pain every day, which lead to ankle pain and then hip and back pain as I compensated for the troublesome knee. My insurance sent an email and then a brochure about Hinge, so I applied. A few weeks later my insurance was approved and I committed to spending 3 days and 10 minutes a day to improving my knee. I did the program every day for months and slowly and steadily I had more confidence in my knee’s ability to carry me through the day. First there was less pain and now with pain so infrequent that it isn’t worth mentioning. My coach is very helpful. Exercises I struggled with were replaced and reintroduced slowly. The program changes exercises after a certain amount of points earned so you don’t get tired of one routine. The sensors and video representation of the exercises keep you on track for proper form. I have run with my dogs and walked up hill and played golf and badminton. Theses are things I thought were in my past when I started on steroid shots in my back. The program has all my confidence..Version: 1.71.2
✓ Great App - still on it even after 1 yearI had a severe Lowe back problem and almost about to go for a surgery for “Herianated L4 disk”. Joined this program for back and it proved really helpful. In 15 weeks of 5-day routine, I was able to feel so much better with my back; I even able to lift 5 Gal water bottle from car trunk to garage. This Hinge program is absolutely great and guaranteed to relieve back pain if done without quitting in the middle. From week 2 itself it proved to relieve the pain. The article are so good and highly motivating. I am impressed so much with the program and its benefits that I am keeping it doing even after reaching maximum level 40. I crossed 40 week continuous stretch and committed to keep doing in order to keep my back strong. One feature would make this app much more useful - “Switching sides in the routine should be announce clearly in spoken language instead of a small beep”.Version: 1.103.0
✓ It helped a lot with my ligament teared knee painIt was a great way to get my leg and knee to be functional normally after my long lasted pain due to ligament tear in my past. Overall i was feeling i am not doing anything other than walking with my leg which had ligament tear and i often feel my legs look like chicken legs but now after continues exercises using hinge my legs are moulded and getting to perfect healthy condition. I can’t wait to continue further on this and i never had to do any heavy leg workouts to have my legs look healthy and in good shape. It was a bit of wait and motivation required and took about 4-6 weeks continues efforts to get to an understanding that it is working for me. So don’t loose your hopes until you do it at-least 4-5 days a week and 6 weeks then analyse your hinge program what it did for that whole time..Version: 1.135.1
✓ Excellent Hinge Health Exercise ProgramI am a 63-year-old male. Former national champion, weightlifter and power lifter. I am also a law-enforcement officer. I have had numerous surgeries, knee issues, spine issues, but it has never stopped me from getting into the gym. In the past couple of years, my knee issues have degraded my ability to do some of the things that I love to do. Hinge Health came along as a result of my spouses healthcare program, and I decided to embrace it just to see what could happen. I can say honestly that I believe the various programs the Hinge Health professionals have designed for me have been very beneficial and I believe are a serious component to the fact that my pain level has gone from a constant seven or eight to an occasional two. I admire the fact that they have actual live human beings at the end of the phone line, and are exceptionally responsive about designing & offering alternatives to some of the program movements. I highly recommend this program..Version: 1.136.0
✓ Hinge HealthThis is a great app for physical therapy. I got the benefit from the company I work for and it’s been awesome to use. Basically, you choose a program for the pain you are experience and it will develop an exercise plan around that. It starts off easier and slowly gets harder. Also they have real PTs you can set up meetings and a health coach that checks in. If the workouts are too long or you aren’t seeing results, you can just message them and change it up. I’ve been doing it for 4 months and I’ve seen a lot of progress with back and neck pain (headaches). It’s really nice where instead of going to a PT office, you can do quick workouts at home that fit into your schedule and provide results. It’s just like anything though, in order to see results you need to stay consistent and build habits..Version: 1.140.0
✓ Best Back Care AppMy 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..Version: 1.140.0
