Combat pain with Hinge Health
Oct. 2, 2024
A sore back, achy knees or a stiff neck can affect all parts of your life. Musculoskeletal pain that hinders your joints, bones and muscles can make it difficult to do everyday tasks like getting dressed or going up and down the stairs. It can also prevent you from engaging in your favorite hobbies and physical activities. Musculoskeletal pain can even affect your mood and mental health.
If you are struggling with musculoskeletal pain, there is help available through your HealthSelectSM medical plan and the Hinge Health program.
What is Hinge Health?
Hinge Health is a digital, physical therapist-led musculoskeletal care program. Hinge Health is available at no additional cost to eligible participants. You will have access to the Hinge Health mobile app and a care team, including a board-certified health coach and physical therapist.

- interactive education to teach you how to manage your specific condition, treatment options and more.
