Who it’s for

  • People finishing physical therapy or recovering from orthopedic surgery
  • Adults 45+ living with joint or back pain
  • Anyone with a cardiac or higher-risk health history

Please note

We coach — we don’t diagnose or treat. We work alongside your doctor or physical therapist, and ask for medical clearance when your history calls for it.
