Illinois Tech is continuing to offer a new back, knee, hip, neck, shoulder and other joint pain program to you and your eligible family members at no cost (click here to sign up). Once enrolled in the program, Hinge Health will create a customized care plan just for you. From there, your personal health coach or physical therapist will guide you through exercise therapy in the Hinge Health app. Plus, it takes only 45 minutes per week, so it easily fits into your schedule.

How does the program work? Hinge Health will assess your condition and match you to a care team to help personalize your treatment to you. Depending on your treatment plan, your care team could include a physical therapist and a health coach. You will keep the same care team throughout your experience. Each program is designed to meet the unique needs of the member—from prevention, to acute, chronic and pre/post surgery care, all from the comfort of home. When needed, programs include PT video visits, specialists, health coaches, and advanced technology.

It’s as easy as:

1: Join here. It takes about 10 minutes.

2: Receive kit. HH will send everything you need to your doorstep.

3: Start sessions on your schedule. Only have 10 minutes a few times a week? You can still conquer back and joint pain, and reduce pain by nearly 70%.

Don’t wait a moment longer if you’ve been dealing with pain, stiffness, or an injury. You can sign up here or give Hinge Health a call at (855) 902-2777 with any questions. Eligible family members (dependents age 18 and over who are also covered under the IIT plan) can join at no cost too.
