A daily movement coach or a relationship with a physical therapist?
A short daily session can sit inside very different services. Look beyond the minutes on screen to who reviews your symptoms, adjusts your exercises, and follows your progress.

| Feature | Joint Academy | |
|---|---|---|
| Type of support | AI movement coaching. | App-based physical therapy with a licensed physical therapist. |
| Starting point | Check in about how you feel. | Questions followed by a therapist review of symptoms and medical history |
| Personalization | Daily check-ins inform movement guidance. | Your therapist adapts exercises using feedback and follow-ups |
| Session format | Movement guidance organized around your day. | Its U.S. pages describe daily video-guided exercises, typically taking 5-10 minutes |
| Access and payment | Review the offer in the Loosn app. | U.S. coverage is checked in the app; insurance participation and personal costs can vary |
| Cost and access | Check the in-app offer for your region, including the price, billing period, and any trial terms before subscribing. | Joint Academy's U.S. coverage page asks users to verify insurance in the app. It also describes out-of-network documentation and a seven-day trial for uninsured users. Confirm any ongoing self-pay rate, copay, or deductible before beginning; this is not a universal no-cost offer |
How to decide
The clinician relationship is the key distinction.
If you need a treatment plan, ask how the therapist will assess you and how follow-ups work. If your goal is an everyday movement habit, ask whether coaching provides the support you want. Similar-looking exercise screens do not mean equivalent care. [1]
