Back to Health App

The virtual back pain app. It has a scanner to see your own posture and sends you personally prescribed exercises to address misalignments.

After subscribing, you can reach exercises and classes to improve your posture, strengthen your core and prevent any more damage. There is also a rich array of easy listen and easy watch Pain Management materials. From brain train exercises to how pain work, podcast series with a whole host of real, practical advice and educational videos about your body.

This app has everything that could possibly be provided to help with back pain virtually. It should be done alongside medical and healthcare advice and does not replace it.

You can see and understand your body and your pain in a whole new way, learn about anatomy, pain and your own alignment and then start a whole new specific movement programme to make changes to muscles and tendons that will help you for the rest of your life.

This is a gentle app, designed to soothe, support and help people with back pain. It offers real, structured advice and guided videos and audios along the way.

The app promotes a "bio-psycho-social" approach to Pain Management and has content to help you tackle your biology (your body), your psychology (your mind) and your social situation, including a Community with links to find others and podcasts to help you get back in control of your pain.

There is a class to teach you to move around safely, if you're in pain, without making any damage any worse. There is a series of classes for people with back pain to strengthen your core without hurting your back. There is a Posture class for people who work from home or sit too much. These help to tackle the biological elements of back pain.

Then to help you manage the pain psychologically, there are Brain Train meditations that teach you about pain and give you practical ways to manage the experience of pain. There is a podcast series that covers topics ranging from talking to your family and friends about how they can help you with your pain to the different types of pain to helping you regain control and not letting it ruin relationships; in fact, how you can deepen a relationship even through pain experiences. There are anatomical videos to educate and explain each part of the spine and how it is meant to be aligned, how it can become out of line and what this means. This information underpins the exercises that have been prescribed for you personally based on the results of your scan. If your head is pulled forwards and your ear is in front of your shoulder, you will be prescribed exercises to help pull it back again, so that you don't develop neck, shoulder and upper back issues or a hunch.

The Community section encourages people with back pain to explore the social options available to them. There are links to organisations that offer advice, groups, ways to meet online and in person, to share experiences and support one another.

This app has been designed by an expert, qualified team of clinical, technology, research and extensively tested with users and patients. It will continue to evolve, to offer more and more and to help with the UK's health crisis, giving GPs and patients with back pain interventions to use from home.
