Why We’re Different
We focus on root cause medicine and whole person health.
We believe better outcomes are the result of stopping symptoms at the source. Our solution is built on the idea that small changes to patients’ lifestyles can lead to powerful results.
Our Approach
More than just RPM technology.
By combining innovative technology with one-on-one coaching and patient outreach, our full-service protocol helps patients reduce pain, improve mobility, and decrease weight through simple changes to nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle.
Why Prescribe FIT for Orthopedic Patients?
Address the root causes of knee, hip, ankle, back, and joint issues while improving overall health with our at-home lifestyle coaching program prescribed and monitored by your orthopedic doctor. We help patients feel better and live better lives.
Testimonials from participating patients and partner providers
Shawna O.
Patient Testimonial
“Dr. Crawford at JIS Orthopedics agreed to do my knee replacement but suggested I lose 30lbs before the surgery. I have struggled with being overweight my whole life and have always done some type of ‘yo-yo dieting’ but Prescribe FIT has totally changed my life! Before Prescribe FIT, I was miserable, depressed, hopeless, no energy, in pain constantly, and short of breath just walking in my house to the bathroom. Now I feel great! I am able to walk around the block, or play in the yard with my granddaughter, or go do different activities with her that I wasn’t able to do before. As of today, I have lost 106lbs with Prescribe FIT.”

Patients shouldn’t wait to address the root cause of their orthopedic issues.
In America, an increasing number of patients are visiting orthopedic clinics with pain, mobility, and other musculoskeletal issues related to their lifestyle, diet, physical activity and weight. Over the past 20 years, multiple studies have shown a clear connection between how we live and the health of our joints and muscles:
The odds of sustaining an MSK injury are 15% greater if overweight and 48% greater for Class III obesity. NIH
Weight loss is a top recommendation by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons for mitigating osteoarthritis of the knee in patients with BMI greater than or equal to 25. AAOS
Every 1 pound of excess weight causes an additional 4 pounds of pressure on the knee joint, 6 pounds of stress on the hip, and 10 pounds of pressure on the lower back. Mayo Clinic, WebMD, HSS, & Harvard
A patient with obesity is more likely to experience the following complications after surgery: infection, poor wound healing, difficulty breathing, blood clots, or pulmonary embolism. AAOS
Prescribe FIT expands your resources to help patients transform their lifestyle and get healthy – for good.
