How OneStep works
Why OneStep works
Moving to a virtual model of physical therapy may seem like a recent development, but it is rooted in the emerging field of gait science. Traditionally, gait analysis could only be performed in a motion lab using specialized equipment. OneStep’s first-of-its-kind technology changes that, delivering lab-level motion analysis from any smartphone.
Now, studies show that virtual PT is as effective as in-person therapy, and in some cases better, improving on in-person therapy due to superior communication between therapist and patient and ongoing motion analysis monitoring to determine short and long-term progress facilitated by the OneStep app.
While other solutions require wearables, OneStep only requires the user to download the app and keep it in their pocket as they move throughout the day.
The OneStep platform is so effective because it was designed with both patients and providers in mind. For patients, convenience, motivation, and actionable feedback on performance are built in. Traditional PT sees as high as a 70 percent attrition rate after three visits compared to OneStep, where seven in ten users complete their full course of care and 93 percent successfully achieve their therapy goal, report reduced pain, increased mobility, and a better overall life.
For providers, the OneStep app collects and analyzes the patient’s gait data continually, providing easily-generated progress reports about any patient, at any time, available through the app or web. These progress reports allow providers to view a patient’s overall recovery trajectory and share this analysis with patients to make long-term clinical decisions together that provide better outcomes for the patient.
Of OneStep’s track record of success, physical therapist DeShano Wakeman says, “OneStep is the only remote patient monitoring platform designed for functional outcome measures that has the potential to identify the needs for specific interventions and motivates patients to walk more and walk better.” In other words, when it comes to virtual physical therapy, OneStep is the leader in app-based care.
OneStep is not only for older adults recovering from surgery or looking to regain mobility they may have lost. It’s ideal for any person at any age looking to live a healthier, pain-free lifestyle.
According to a recent study, more than half of Americans 18 and older suffer from musculoskeletal conditions, such as arthritis or low back pain, and could benefit from the science-based physical therapy OneStep provides.
Unfortunately, we can expect these numbers to rise, as sitting in front of a computer all day can lead to tendonitis, repetitive strain injury, lower back pain, and other conditions.
Through gait analysis, daily exercises, and personalized care, OneStep is already a crucial intervention improving the health and wellness of many.
“You’d think walking unhindered by disease or injury would be instinctive,” explains OneStep user, Peter, who was looking to improve his overall health and wellness, “but the gait analysis information reported by OneStep enabled me to monitor and focus on certain aspects of my technique, which has improved markedly, becoming faster, smoother, more efficient and less tiring. The OneStep app has motivated me to walk more, and we all know how important exercise is to our health and well-being.”
Who can benefit
App-based virtual physical therapy is the solution to better health outcomes now and in the future, and OneStep is the leader at maintaining the important aspect of human interaction while leveraging technology to connect patients and providers for lasting, positive results.

The old model of physical therapy – in person at a clinic once or twice a week – was rarely questioned until recently. We took time to commute and sit in a waiting room for sessions of guided exercises and manual adjustments.
Never mind the growing evidence that suggests regular physical therapy should be part of everyone’s self-care and wellness regimen – if we wanted to recover, either after an accident or surgery or due to chronic pain, in-person PT was the only option.
The founders of OneStep, the revolutionary smartphone app that puts the power of a clinical-grade gait lab right in your pocket, saw PT differently.
They recognized that physical contact and manipulations aren’t always required to provide excellent patient care when appropriate technology is introduced to support the clinical analysis and treatment.
Why visit a clinic when OneStep can pair you with a licensed physical therapist who can conduct a clinical evaluation of your medical condition and deliver effective, personalized recovery strategies virtually that you can do on your own time, wherever you are?
OneStep provides you 24/7 access to licensed PTs online as well as daily exercises and real-time progress updates to help you persevere in your wellness journey.
OneStep is the better way to recover from an injury, surgery, or to improve posture and reduce chronic pain for all of us who spend too much of our day at home, sedentary, working on screens. Using OneStep consistently can also help build up strength, increase range of motion, and may assist in postponing or avoiding the need for surgery.

This physical therapy app’s innovative tech helps you feel and move better

True progress comes from daily activity. OneStep’s highly personalized recovery plans break down traditional physical therapy sessions into bite-sized daily exercise routines that you can do anytime, from anywhere. The first step is as simple as downloading the app and signing up for your 14-day free trial. After signing up, the app will instruct you to walk around the room with your smartphone in your pocket so that OneStep’s patented technology can evaluate your walk, or what is professionally known as “gait.”
In 30 seconds, you’ll have a comprehensive assessment of your walking pattern, a key component when recovering from a hip or knee replacement, undergoing neurological rehabilitation, battling chronic pain that limits your mobility, or seeking relief from the aches and pains of everyday work-from-home life.
Next, OneStep pairs you with a licensed physical therapist for a free consultation during your free-trial period. This isn’t just a one-time consultation; your OneStep personal physical therapist gets to know you and your goals and tracks your progress, together with you, during your recovery.
After reviewing your OneStep walking, or gait, pattern, your therapist will create a personalized plan broken down into short daily exercise routines designed to help you reach your recovery and wellness goals.
“Each time my patient records a walk, I have a window into their daily function,” says Stephanie DeShano Wakeman, D.P.T and OneStep Clinic Manager. “The technology from OneStep delivers gait data that allows me to make informed, personalized decisions about exercise prescription and objective outcomes of the treatment plan.”
Your personalized recovery plan is accessible anytime on your smartphone, paired with instructional videos and real-time feedback. Far from being hands-off, your therapist is available to you 24/7 as they continuously adapt your plan based on your progress.
