Hinge Health and Midi Health announced a partnership to address the significant healthcare gap for women experiencing menopause. This collaboration combines Hinge Health’s expertise in movement-based menopause support with Midi Health’s virtual care clinic, catering to women navigating the wide range of symptoms brought on by midlife hormonal changes.
For women who experience musculoskeletal and pelvic health issues, the decline in estrogen during menopause can not only worsen existing symptoms but also trigger joint, muscle, and pelvic health issues, and worsen existing conditions. Seventy-one percent of individuals going through menopause experience joint and muscle pain, but these musculoskeletal (MSK) symptoms are frequently overlooked and commonly untreated by conventional medical care. A new review from the University of Central Florida School of Medicine highlights the need for greater focus on the array of MSK symptoms associated with menopause and coins a new term to elevate the discussion around them: musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause.
“Hinge Health announced the addition of menopause support to our program earlier this year because movement-based support effectively reduces menopause-related pain and discomfort,” said Arielle Slam, Principal Product Manager, Women’s Health, Hinge Health. “We’re partnering with Midi Health to bring our members additional evidence-based options, including hormonal and non-hormonal prescription medications. This partnership will create a wraparound care experience for women with a wide range of menopause symptoms, including the often-overlooked musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause.”
“Partnering with Hinge Health allows us to extend our reach and provide comprehensive, personalized care to even more women going through menopause,” said Midi Health CEO and Co-founder Joanna Strober. “By combining our strengths, we can ensure that women receive the personalized, holistic support they need, whether that’s movement-based therapies or prescription treatments such as hormone therapy, or both.”
If they are in-network with Midi Health, Hinge Health members receiving menopause support will benefit from access to Midi Health’s personalized menopause treatment protocols, which include visits with prescribing clinicians who have deep expertise in menopause care. Hinge Health care teams will also highlight Midi Health access where clinically appropriate, ensuring members are aware of the full spectrum of available menopause care options.
