Measuring your hip motion (also called your range of motion) is SIMPLE, and something you can do on your own AT HOME!
Previously, you had to visit your physical therapist and have them use a tool called a goniometer to measure your range of motion. Now, using Curovate you can measure your range of motion as often as you’d like, in under a minute.
Follow These Steps:
- Open the Curovate app - if you don’t have the app follow the links for iOS or Android at the end of this blog.
- Select the menu - the 3 lines in the top left corner of your home page
- Select “Measurements”
- Follow the on-screen instructions and have your range of motion in seconds!
