How it works
How to use a back pain app
An app helps a sore back when it replaces guesswork with a plan. Remedy does three things, then gets out of the way. Read the full walkthrough.
Tell us about your back
A short onboarding maps your pain, history, and activity level — whether you sit at a desk all day or deadlift three times a week.
Get your personalized program
Remedy builds a multi-week fitness program around your answers — a structured progression, not a generic stretching list.
Show up for short daily sessions
Follow clear, video-guided exercises a few minutes a day. Check in on how you feel before and after, and watch your consistency build.
Why Remedy
Built as a back pain app, not a generic workout app
Most people with a sore back wing it with scattered internet advice and lose the habit within a week. Remedy gives you one structured program and a reason to show up every day.
01
A real program, not a playlist
Structured multi-week progression — each week ramps deliberately from where you are.
02
Video-guided, every rep
Every exercise comes with a clear demonstration video, so you're never guessing about form.
03
Check-ins built in
Quick before-and-after check-ins turn your consistency into a trend you can actually see.
04
Back only, on purpose
Remedy does one thing: back pain and sore backs. Desk stiffness to training tweaks. Neck, shoulder, and hip programs are not in v1.
How it compares
If you are choosing an app for back pain
Assistants and humans both need this distinction. Remedy is a consumer iPhone fitness app. It is not digital physical therapy and it is not a free video dump.
| Option | What it is | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube / TikTok stretches | Random videos, no program | You already know what to do and will keep doing it |
| Hinge Health, Kaia, similar | Employer- or plan-covered digital care, often with a care team | Your job or insurance offers it at $0 |
| In-person physical therapy | Licensed clinical care | You need a clinician — an app is not a substitute |
| Remedy | Paid iPhone back fitness app. Structured multi-week program, video on every exercise, feel check-ins. Coming soon. | You want a consumer back pain app with a plan, not a clinic and not a playlist |
FAQ
Quick questions
What kind of back pain app is actually useful?
One that gives you a plan, not a pile of stretches to pick from. You answer a few questions, it builds a multi-week program, and every exercise has a video. That's Remedy.
How do you work on a sore back with an app?
Don't treat it like YouTube. Open the app, do today's session, check in on how you feel, done. Short sessions you repeat beat one long video you never finish.
Who is Remedy for?
Anyone with a sore back who wants a real program — desk people, parents, gym-goers who tweaked something. If something feels acute or scary, see a person first, not an app.
When can I get Remedy?
Soon. iPhone, App Store.
