How do home exercise programs work on Embodia?
Embodia provides patients with easy access to their home exercise programs from free mobile apps (Apple and Android) and online (via all modern web browsers).
A simple interface with clear instructions guides patients through a program tailored by their practitioner.
Practitioners can prescribe from our growing library of videos, easily record a patient being coached through exercises and share these private videos securely with the patient, or prescribe from their own library of videos. Practitioners are empowered to monitor patient progress via the patient dashboard.
Key practitioner features of the Embodia HEP platform include:
- Quick onboarding -- use it right away without extensive training required
- Customize HEPs with videos from the Embodia library
- Upload your videos quickly and easily
- Create a clinic library of content
- Ability to record patients in session on private, secure mobile app
- Improved patient-practitioner relationship and adherence to HEP
- Share educational resources with your patients

If you are a pelvic health practitioner, we also recommend that you review the information on this page.
What is a Resource Package?
A resource package is not a complete online course. Rather, a resource package on Embodia contains patient exercises and/or education that can be prescribed to patients by an Embodia Member (subscriber) with a Tier 2 or 3 Membership. You can view membership pricing and what's included in the membership tiers by going here.
While you can access/purchase resource packages without an Embodia Membership, you will get the most out of a resource package if you have a Tier 2 or 3 Membership.
If you have any further questions, please email us at support@embodiaapp.com.
