How do I know if Backto is right for me?

The Backto consultation will ask you questions to help you find out if your back pain is likely to be lifestyle based and is totally free to use.

Please note: our consultation tool does not offer medical advice and is no substitute for seeing a doctor.

Backto is great for anyone suffering from any lower back-pain not caused by an underlying medical condition, recent impact, injury or illness.

If you are in good health, but your bad back is stopping you from sleeping, hurts in the morning, if you sit still for long periods of the day, or you have ‘chronic’ back-ache not linked to a medical condition, Backto could be the perfect solution.

why does it work?

The vast majority of lower back pain is caused by a number of factors that have no relation to an underlying medical problem. It’s either the muscles, the vertebrae, nerve irritation or a combination of any or all of them. To find out more please visit our know your back pain page.

In short, it doesn’t matter how healthy your diet is or how many painkillers you take. The bottom line is: you need to sort out what’s causing the problem and adapt your lifestyle.

A therapist will ‘hands-on’ work those problems for you, but it is perfectly possible and simple to do this work yourself, it’s just a question of knowing how.

Backto creates a personalised programme of therapeutic stretches and exercises. These exercises are delivered one at a time, so you're not overwhelmed. The first phase of your programme will stretch out your muscles to target the pain. The second phase strengthens the muscles needed to prevent the pain returning.

how tough are the exercises?

Don’t worry – you don’t need to be fit. As long as (in normal circumstances) you can get up from the floor unaided, then you can use the Backto programme. And thanks to Backto’s AI algorithm, your programme will instantly adapt if you’re finding it too tough.

what equipment do i need?

To begin with absolutely none.

At some point in your programme, you may require a couple of inexpensive items, but we'll always give you enough time to buy them in advance.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

It's FREE to sign-up, do the consultation and get your first pain relief stretch.

After that we have different programme options. To find out more, please visit our pricing page.
