Movement as Medicine: A New and Better Approach for Digital MSK Care
May 8, 2024
Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain and injury costs US companies billions of dollars in medical, disability and workers compensation spending. MSK conditions also take a huge toll on worker productivity and their quality of life. The severe shortage of physical therapy resources, and the lack of focus on injury prevention and early intervention make the problem much worse. People who have MSK conditions rarely complete their home exercise and other rehabilitation tasks. They also often have other complicating chronic conditions such as diabetes and obesity. These factors contribute to a high rate of reinjury among those with MSK conditions.
Somatic is reshaping the employee MSK care experience with our engaging MSK health platform that combines a 3D AI assessment, on-demand early intervention, and customized home rehabilitation programs to reduce injury and ensure faster recovery.

Somatic’s AI-enabled platform is the first digital health system that combines prevention, early intervention, and patient engagement to avoid injuries and accelerate recovery for MSK and associated chronic conditions for employees and their family members.
The Somatic “virtual + clinic” model is based on scientific evidence showing that clinician-led treatment augmented by precision digital technology creates a more engaged employee patient experience, leading to demonstrably improved outcomes, lower MSK-related cost and reduced incidence of workplace injuries.
