How it works

Your camera is the clinic.

No wearables. No sensors. No appointment. Flexa reads your movement through the phone you already own, then coaches you through a program built for what it sees.

01 · The assessment

Four photos. Six moves. Five minutes.

Prop your phone against a wall or on a stand, step back, and follow the prompts. Flexa takes a four-photo posture scan (front, back, and both sides), then walks you through six guided movements: a squat, a lunge, a step-over, a twist, a back bend, a toe touch.

  • No wearables, sensors or hardware, just your phone's camera
  • Done at home, in regular clothes, in about five minutes
  • Repeat it any time, so progress is measured against your own baseline

02 · The Neural Code

An engine that names the pattern behind the pain.

Your six movement assessments are read by the Neural Code, a pattern-recognition engine created by neuroscientist Dr. Sheila Nirenberg (Cornell, MacArthur Fellow) and licensed to Spiral Health for movement assessment.

It picks which of eight movement patterns best describes how your body is organized: the tilt behind the ache, not just the spot that hurts. Flexa then builds a program for that pattern, using your posture measurements as the baseline it compares against. Every session feeds back in, so the program keeps adapting.

03 · The daily work

5 to 10 minutes, where you already are.

Your program arrives as a short daily session of guided exercises. Video-led, coached in plain language, sized to fit a real life. Most people do theirs on a mat in the living room, before a shift or after one.

Miss a day and the program flexes. Flag a movement that does not feel right and it gets swapped. The point is consistency you can keep, not a perfect streak.

The coach is always on. The people are on your calendar.

Flexa's AI coach handles the day-to-day in chat: reminders, form cues, program tweaks, check-ins. All of it around the clock. When you want a person, you book a video session with the care team. Employer and Medicare members get an annual allotment of those one-to-one sessions.

Progress you can point to

Measured on the scales clinicians use.

Flexa tracks your progress on the same validated instruments used in clinical research, so "I think it's better" becomes a number you can watch move.

NPRSNumeric Pain Rating Scale, the standard 0–10 pain measure, captured at regular check-ins
ODIOswestry Disability Index for the lower back — we use the employment variant of item 10
NDINeck Disability Index, the reference measure for how neck pain limits everyday activity
QuickDASHQuick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand, for upper-limb function
HIT-6Headache Impact Test, for how much headache interferes with daily life
PHQ-4Patient Health Questionnaire, screening mood and anxiety — both track with persistent pain

Where a validated instrument exists for a region, we use it. Where one does not, we use our own ten-item function scales — hip, knee, ankle, lower extremity and upper back — scored the same way every time so your change over time is meaningful. We do not present those as validated instruments, because they are not: they are ours, and we say so.

A note on your camera

Flexa uses your camera two ways. The four posture photos become joint positions and angles, essentially geometry. The six guided movements are read by the Neural Code, which classifies how you move into one of eight movement patterns. Both feed the program Flexa builds for you. Full processing and retention details are in our privacy policy. Fully on-device processing, our "Privacy Airlock" architecture, is in active development and not shipping today.
