THE FUTURE

Building better health care

Easy to implement
Greater access.
Taking time off work, finding transportation, and even getting an appointment is difficult for most Americans. We’ve built a solution that fits in the palm of your hand and matches your lifestyle.
Experienced, qualified experts
Expert quality care.
Many health-tech solutions give users coaches that fill time and space but are not licensed to answer the real needs of people in pain. We provide you with only the most experienced and qualified experts.
Equal healthcare access for all
Real health equity.
Rural and lower-income populations are less likely to have access to clinical support and treatments and are more likely to receive opioids for pain relief. We believe every individual deserves the same expert care.
Testimonials

Human impact

I battled a shoulder injury for years and even had surgery in 2017, but I was still in pain. With Sword, I am pain free with a full range of movement that I didn’t have before!

I really do think that movement is medicine. Sword was instrumental for my knee pain. Had it not been for Sword, I might not have made it.

Movement is medicine
You have the power to get out of [pain]. It’s a very isolating feeling, and this journey has let me be so much more present. I’m excited I get to do this with my kids.

Enjoy activities with your kids
[Sword] helped me stay away from obesity ... and it helped me find my path as a father so my kids have a good role model. Being able to move is a blessing.
