Here's what Marvell employees are saying about Sword:
I’ve struggled with pain for years after breaking my foot in 2017. After 2 surgeries, months of recovery, and “failing out” of in-person physical therapy due to a lack of time, I gave up on ever returning to my prior activity or comfort levels. 5 years and one 12 week Sword program later, I can honestly say Sword has changed my life! Being able to pursue a full physical therapy program at home, on my own time, has resulted in vast improvements both in my pain levels, and in my ability to engage in activities I previously thought were out of my reach. I saw improvements after just a few sessions, which motivated me to stick with the program and push through the tough days. I went from limping out of bed on cold mornings to jogging on cold mornings by week 8 of my 12 week program. Thank you to Sword for making physical therapy accessible, and thank you to Marvell for bringing this program to employees!

I started experiencing pain and tightness in my wrists that crept-up slowly but began preventing me from doing normal activities in my life, like my fitness routine or even holding a shopping cart at the grocery store. I attempted traditional physical therapy through my insurance but it wasn't working out between the paper handouts and trying to complete exercises on my own that I didn't fully understand. Sword made physical therapy simple: The video technology and sensors let me see exactly how I needed to do the exercises and was easy to follow along. It was a commitment, I dedicated 30 minutes 5 days per week to the exercises, but I started feeling relief in my wrists within the first week which motivated me to continue. I've now completed my 12 week program and am back to my normal lifestyle, pain free.
