How to Sign Up for Curovate: The One-Click Sign Up Method
When you open Curovate, you can use Apple, Google or Meta (also known as Facebook) as a one-click method to create an account with Curovate. These three one-click methods make it easy for you to start an account with Curovate using an existing account. The advantage of this is that you don’t have to remember another username and password to log in to Curovate!
- For Apple, you just need to enter your Apple ID and password to create an account with Curovate.
- For Google, you will need your Gmail address and password.
- For Facebook or Meta you will need your Facebook ID and password.
Curovate keeps your health data safe
You can rest assured that even though we offer these one-click sign in methods, Curovate is committed to keeping your health data safe. We do not share your data with Apple, Meta, or Google, nor do we sell, trade, or share your data with any other company.
Alternative registration method: Create a Curovate username and password
If you prefer not to use Apple, Meta, or Google to sign in to Curovate, you can create an account using your email address and a secure password. To sign in using this method:
- Enter your email address. A verification code will be sent to this email address.
- Verify your email by going to your email inbox, finding the verification code that was sent to you, and entering the code into the Curovate app. If you don’t receive an email in your inbox, check your “junk” “spam” and “social” folders, as the verification code may be mistakenly classified as junk.
- Once you verify your email address, you can create a new email address and password specific to your Curovate account.
- You will be asked what injury or surgery you are recovering from or what body part you are trying to strengthen. For example, if you had a knee replacement, select “total knee replacement” from the surgery options.
- You will then be asked to select the date of your surgery and the date of your injury. It is important that you enter the most accurate information about your surgery as this will be used to place you in the correct physiotherapy exercise phase in the app. When you are in the correct exercise phase, you will be able to complete exercises and rehabilitation that take into account your current abilities.
- After entering your surgery or injury date, it will take a few seconds for Curovate to load your rehabilitation protocol. This rehabilitation protocol consists of daily exercise videos, progress tracking of all your exercises, the ability to measure your knee or hip range of motion, the option to ask a physiotherapist questions via our in-app chat or book a 1-on-1 physiotherapy appointment.
- On the Curovate home screen you can see which stage of your recovery you are in.
- Select “play day 1” to see the exercise list and videos needed to complete that day. Review the phase goals and daily exercises to make sure they are appropriate and not too challenging. We have a great video to show you how to use Curovate if the exercises in your beginning phase are too challenging. We also have a video to show you how to use Curovate if the exercises in your beginning phase are too easy.
Watch the video below for a step-by-step guide with a screen capture directly from the Curovate Physical Therapy app, showing you how to log into the Curovate app.

How many days of training are in each Curovate phase?
Each phase has seven days. In the seven days, the exercises are the same. Each day, you will be given a list of equipment that you will need to complete the exercises. You will also have access to a concise exercise program in case you do not have enough time to complete the entire exercise session. Each exercise phase contains different exercises. Only phase one (1) has one day of exercise, all other phases have seven days. You must complete each day in full so that the app can move you to the next day. After you have completed all seven days of exercise, the app will move you to the next exercise phase.
How do I play all the exercises assigned to me within a practice phase every day?
Selecting ‘Play All’ will play all the exercise videos in a session. A session can be morning, afternoon and evening. Some phases have 3 sessions and some have 2 or just one per day. If you complete all the assigned exercises within the day, the app will mark all your exercises as complete and you will move on to day two. Completing all the assigned exercises regularly will help you progress in your recovery journey, so do your best!
The Curovate app gives you guided exercises, rehab reminders, progress tracking, and can even measure your range of motion, all from your phone. To get started, simply download the Curovate app for iOS or Android from one of the links below.
