Sword Health 17+

I’m not sure where I would be without this program. I recently had surgery on my knee after an injury resulting in a meniscus tear and a fracture. I also travel for a living. Immediately following surgery I was able to go to physical therapy at the ortho clinic, but I also needed to return to work. That’s when Sword was recommended to me. What a game changer!!

I would not be where I am in my recovery right now without this program. It is simple to use. It’s convenient and I can use it anywhere. I can communicate with my therapist both by text and video if I need help. The exercises are specifically tailored to my needs. The entire concept in genius.

I have just finished my third week of therapy using the program and traveling. I can’t imagine where I would be physically if I would have had to return to work and travel without any therapy or having to try and figure it out on my own. I’m thankful that I don’t have to imagine that and I can’t spend time thinking about what I’ll be doing when I’m back to 100%!

The best thing about physical therapy is the therapist, who can create a safe and effective routine for you to practice at home. The worst thing about physical therapy is that you can’t take that therapist with you—and it can be hard to follow that routine correctly/safely without the PT there with you to guide and monitor you. The SWORD program allows you to practice your PT routine on your own turf and on your own schedule. Even better, the SWORD software corrects you in real time if your form is NOT as perfect as you think it is—which means there’s a lot more opportunity for adherence and a lot less opportunity for injury. You can flag any exercise which causes concerns—which can later be addressed by a human PT who follows your progress remotely. You are able to message this PT or even meet on phone. My PT is very responsive to any questions I may have and is very supportive of my journey.

The program was just exactly what I needed. The Physical Therapist listened to me on our first chat and set up a program for my specific needs, low back. And because I had other physical issues she made it so I could do it. And she was available for any needs or changes I needed to make to the program. There were a few equipment issues but were resolved. I liked having PT constantly and not be given a few exercises and sent home to do them. Plus there was not a cap on the money I could use for PT. This was much better for me. I got stronger and my range of motion has improved during the period of time I’ve been doing this program. I continue to use the program on maintenance, and even now my PT is available to make changes to the program or for any needs I may have. Overall this program and my PT deserve five stars.
