The company noted that the global musculoskeletal diseases treatment market is expected to reach US$ 5.7 billion in 2025 from US$$3.8 billion in 2017, according to a report by The Insight Partners. The musculoskeletal diseases treatment market is estimated to grow with a CAGR (compound average growth rate) of 5.3% from 2018-2025.

MSK disease affects the joints, bones and muscles and also back pain, and more years are lived with musculoskeletal disability than any other long-term human condition.

eWellness Healthcare is the first physical therapy (PT) telehealth company to offer real-time distance monitored assessments and treatments.

Its PHZIO platform allows employees and physical therapists to cut the cord from the old-school, wait in line, brick and mortar clinical experience to an immediate response digital, in-home PT experience.

The group noted that nearly 100% of all PT assessments and treatments can now be done on an employee’s smart phone in the privacy of their own home, and pointed out that digital MSK treatments are “clearly the next upgrade the industry needs to make”.
