THE PROBLEM
Musculoskeletal conditions are the #1 healthcare cost in the US
Musculoskeletal issues can't be ignored. Not only is their dollar amount costing you more than any other category, the alternatives of surgery and medication dependence don't fix the problem.
Financial Costs
At $317B per year, MSK care costs employers more than mental health and cancer combined.

Human Costs
Lack of accessible MSK solutions are contributing to the opioid epidemic and wasteful surgeries. And it's only getting worse.

Digital Therapist
Movement is medicine, but poor form can dramatically slow–or even reverse–relief. Sword's Digital Therapist uses sensor technology to deliver real-time feedback. All the movement data is then shared with the PT, who adapts the program based on actual performance. Data over guesswork.
Only Doctors of Physical Therapy
We only use licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy. That means your members speak with clinical experts 100% of the time. No waiting on hold for answers. Greater connection to clinical resources means better outcomes for everyone.
Bespoke Rehabilitation Protocols
Each program is designed specifically for the individual. After each session, the data received from the sensors is reviewed by the PT, who takes into consideration the level of effort, performance and difficulty of the exercise. They then adjust the following sessions for optimal recovery. No one does customization like us.
Holistic Patient Care
We know that by removing pain, we can remove barriers to other parts of life. That's why we deliver more than just best-in-class physical therapy programs. We built our Academy and CBT program because improving access to educational resources help members stick to goals and develop healthier habits for the future. Knowledge is power.
