If you need help with reducing pain in your knee, hip, back, shoulder, neck or hand you may be eligible. We’ll ask you to fill out a questionnaire which only takes a few minutes. We use your information to create your account and make sure the Joint Academy program is a good fit for you. Second, a physical therapist will have a video call with you to determine you’re a good fit. You might not be able to join if your questionnaire or insurance information is incomplete, or if you are restricted from or need physical support to exercise.

We have treatments that specialize in osteoarthritis of the knees, hips and hands as well as pain in the lower back, neck and shoulders.

When you download the app, you will answer a few questions. Based on your answers, you will be connected to one of our licensed Physical Therapists, or be referred to another care provider. Together with the Physical Therapist you will review your symptoms and medical history to ensure that our treatment is suitable for you.
-
The program officially starts the day after you complete your registration and you have been assigned to a physical therapist. You may choose to begin your daily exercises and lessons before your initial phone consultation.
-
When you start your treatment, you will be connected with a Physical Therapist who will help you get started with your individual exercise program. You then will have regular follow-ups as your Physical Therapist supports you throughout the treatment. Together, you set goals for your pain improvement and can track your progress each week. Your Physical Therapist is available for questions every day of the week in the app.
-
During your program, you will receive two easy exercises with video instructions every day in the app. They take 5-10 minutes to perform. After completing an exercise, you report to your Physical Therapist how it went. If necessary, your Physical Therapist will adapt the exercise according to your pain and your physical ability. Initially, the exercises will be of a simpler nature so that you get used to the movements and find the right technique. The exercises will gradually increase in difficulty as you become stronger, have less pain and feel safer. This is guided by your Physical Therapist and your feedback in your regular follow-ups.
-
Program length varies depending on your unique health needs and goals, but success with your personal lifestyle goals will determine the program duration. In addition, regular communication with your Physical Therapist will help guide this timeline.
