“As a Consultant Physiotherapist, I have worked to pilot the implementation of the SelfBack App in a range of clinical services in our Integrated Care System. I am confident that the app has been rigorously tested in a randomized controlled trial and is safe and effective to offer our patients. We engaged our patient partners to test the app before we started using it, and they said, ‘It was like having a friend in my pocket.”

"For the past year, I’ve been using SelfBack, and it has made a world of difference. As a Consultant Ophthalmologist, back pain has been a persistent challenge, but thanks to SelfBack, I’ve been able to manage it effectively while continuing my work. The app doesn’t just remind me to do my exercises—it intelligently tailors them based on my pain levels and discomfort, ensuring that each session is both effective and manageable. What I love most is how simple the instructions are, making it easy to stay consistent. I couldn’t be happier with how much this app has improved my day-to-day life."
