Two essential smartphone apps for stretching to help relieve back pain
Our team is aware that innovative, home-based therapy may be critical in helping to relieve your back pain. This is why we recommend you check out two essential smartphone apps for stretching that may help you relieve your back pain.
The first app we recommend is the Kaia app developed by Kaia Health. This app is available for both iPhones and Android phones, and it was created using advice from physiotherapists, pain management physicians, orthopedic surgeons and other medical professionals. The goal of the Kaia app is to help you find stretches that help you self-manage back pain. The app works toward this goal by using built-in artificial intelligence to create a stretching routine for you. These routines are based on more than 120 approved stretches. The app also uses your phone’s motion tracking technology to ensure you’re performing stretches properly.
The second app our team recommends that may help you relieve your back pain is WebMD Pain Coach. The app is available for both Android phones and iPhones, and it’s brought to you by the same team that brought you the popular WebMD website. WebMD Pain Coach is primarily designed to help you find out more about chronic pain conditions like back pain. It also helps you set achievable goals for pain reduction. The app also provides you with access to almost 200 doctor-approved tips and more than 370 articles about chronic pain. All of this information may help you manage chronic pain by addressing areas of your life such as eating habits and rest requirements. It may also help you find exercises and stretches to help you relieve your back pain.
Our Excel Sports and Physical Therapy team knows apps like these can be powerful tools for your back pain. We also know there are a variety of physical therapies that may help you relieve back pain at home and in our offices.
