At Movement 9, we see a world where movement data and comparative analytics are as available for personal movement rehab as they are for high-performance athletics. Data shows that those who adhere to their physical therapy home exercise program have better health outcomes. Our goal is to usher in an entire new era of at-home physical therapy adherence through gamification, driving better outcomes for patients, physical therapists, clinics, insurance companies... and the people that help to care for us.
Take a SurveyMovement 9 is developed by The Haptic 9 Co., a company dedicated to advancing human interaction through the power of touch and movement. Proprioception is an important part of the haptic sensory ecosystem. Movement 9 was created to address the challenges of adherence in physical therapy and movement learning. Our platform uses technology and gamification to help individuals better understand and improve their movements, whether they’re recovering from an injury or building new skills. By bridging the gap between technology and human motion, Movement 9 empowers physical therapists and patients alike to achieve better outcomes with confidence and precision.
With The Haptic 9 Co.’s expertise in haptics and movement learning, Movement 9 stands as a testament to our commitment to creating tools that enhance lives through deeper connections to the body’s natural systems. Together, we’re making movement smarter, more accessible, and more intuitive for everyone.
