Hinge Health Is Included in Your STRS Ohio Coverage

Hinge Health is a digital exercise therapy program that is included in your STRS Ohio prescription coverage at no additional cost. You can join by calling Hinge Health toll-free at 855-902-2777 or by email.

Hinge Health provides personalized exercise therapy to help you alleviate back and joint pain, prevent injuries, assist with rehabilitation after surgery and stay healthy and pain free. You can complete the guided exercise videos from the comfort of your home using a smartphone or tablet. You can also connect with your health coach or physical therapist through the app, text, email or virtual visits.

Once you are accepted into the program, Hinge Health will customize your care plan and provide the tools needed including support from your personal care team. While most people are accepted into the program, some medical conditions, such as recent surgeries, cardiac disease and cancer, require physician approval to participate. Less than 1% are denied access for clinical reasons.

Many retirees have contacted STRS Ohio to compliment the program. See what they have to say about Hinge Health.
