As members of the Concordia Health Plan, you have access to a phenomenal digital PT program called Sword Thrive that allows you to do PT from the convenience of your home or wherever you are.

Sword Thrive members achieve a 30% improvement over conventional PT and reduce pain levels by 70% in just eight weeks. Here’s what health plan members had to say about their experiences using Sword Thrive.

“I really like the flexibility and the way the program makes it so easy to do. I also like how you [Sword Thrive] are able change my prescription from the feedback received from my sessions. I am very happy with it all.”

“I want to thank you [Sword Thrive] for all your help and guidance. It is a little victory but I’m going to take it. Tonight, for the first time in nearly a year I was able to bend my leg up to my hip to put on my sock! I had to lift it with my hands to get it on the bed, but I haven’t been able to bend it in that way for so long. I usually had to sit on a chair or my bed, cringing as I leaned forward, and slide my foot back while keeping it on the floor and lift the toes, slide on the sock part way, then lift the heel to slide it over the heel. Thank you!!!”
