What’s
hurting you?
AposHealth® is supported by AposIQ®, a business unit that combines innovative technology, data science and over a decade of experience to analyze gait (walking mechanics), and develop personalized gait modification programs.
Apos Method
The AposHealth® clinician will assess your gait (walking pattern) using questionnaires and computerized gait analysis.
You will receive a personalized pair of shoes calibrated to offload the pressure from the painful area of your knee.
After the Apos shoes are calibrated, you will receive instructions on how to use them as part of your daily life.
An AposHealth® trained clinician will continue to monitor your progress regularly, including check-ups and recalibration, when necessary.

Overview of
AposHealth®
Quick facts about AposHealth®
The secret of joint pain
Most treatments ignore one of the most important aspects of joint function – the muscles. AposHealth® is clinically proven to increase walking speed43, step length43, muscular control45 and muscular coordination42.
Results of untreated pain
With or without intervention, people suffering from joint pain will often compensate by changing their movement patterns, which can cause injury and more joint pain.
Tailored to you
After your movement patterns have been identified, the AposHealth® trained clinician will calibrate a pair of AposHealth® shoes to fit your needs.
Addressing the body’s neuromuscular needs
As you walk, AposHealth® stimulates and trains your muscles, re-educating your body to adopt a healthier, less painful gait (walking mechanics). This improved muscular control and coordination causes a “carry-over effect” so that the positive effects remain even when not wearing the shoes.
Clinical proof
Clinical studies on AposHealth® have shown a significant increase in walking speed43 and mobility42, muscle coordination9, muscle control9, and temporary knee pain relief42.
Patient satisfaction
Out of 176 patients with knee osteoarthritis surveyed, ninety-eight percent said they would recommend AposHealth® to friends and family1.
Convenience
Rather than adjusting your life to therapy, AposHealth® fits into your life. AposHealth® transforms your ordinary activities into a positive and easy process.
Effortlessness
By wearing the AposHealth® footworn device for about one hour per day—sometimes sitting, sometimes standing—your body learns to maintain better movement patterns while you go about your regular routine.
Ongoing care
With AposHealth®, your progress is closely monitored and—in order to optimize your ongoing progress—your shoes may be re-calibrated and your program instructions modified.
Insurance Coverage
Many leading insurance providers cover AposHealth®.
Get better, get moving,
get your life back.
It couldn’t be simpler.
Non-invasive, no drugs,
all the benefits.
AposHealth® is a clinically proven, personalized treatment that shifts the weight off your painful joints & corrects your walking patterns, with just one hour a day.
How
AposHealth®
is unique
AposHealth® helps people with knee, lower back and hip pain live well by improving their gait42 (walking mechanics) and quality of life43. This is done by:
- Redistributing the weight on the painful areas
- Re-educating the muscles, and ultimately correcting the walking patterns
This dual-action process is what makes it possible to improve function and live better with painful conditions without invasive procedures.
Clinically proven results
A 2020 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that 92% of patients with knee osteoarthritis who were treated with AposHealth® reported more than a 30% reduction in pain while 83% reported more than a 50% reduction in pain42.
Clinical studies have also shown improvement in function42 and quality of life24,43, as well as a significant reduction in pain medication use among patients with chronic knee pain3. According to a patient satisfaction survey, 98% of patients said that they would recommend AposHealth® to friends and family1.
Why AposHealth®?

of candidates for surgery said they expected to delay or avoid surgery based on the initial results of AposHealth®2
reduction in OTC painkiller consumption while using AposHealth® compared to a control group among 58 patients with knee osteoarthritis3
Full plan and pricing
The AposHealth® program includes ongoing clinician care for a full year as well as cutting edge technology. Select insurance companies cover the costs of the program and in some cases, co-pay and deductibles may be included. In case you are not covered by insurance you can start AposHealth® with a self-paid option.
AposHealth® is available through a network of selected private physical therapy and multidisciplinary clinics that are qualified to deliver AposHealth®. The program is administered and monitored by specially trained AposHealth® clinicians.
The reason AposHealth® has helped so many people is that it is personalized to each one’s specific needs. The process begins with a full, in-depth clinical consultation of the patient’s problem joints, pain levels and day-to-day restrictions. This evaluation forms the basis of a personalized one-hour-a-day treatment program, which blends effortlessly into the patient’s daily life.
The AposHealth® program includes a personally-adjusted, footworn, biomechanical device that includes Pertupods – convex sole attachments under your forefoot and heel. Your clinician selects and positions the most suitable Pertupods to distribute pressure away from the painful areas of your joints and retrain your muscles.
AposHealth®’s unique approach is supported by the AposIQ unit, which combines innovative technology, data science and over a decade of experience in gait modification to determine the optimal way to adjust patients’ gaits over time.
