  • Lower back pain
  • Back and leg pain
  • Neck pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Ankle pain
  • Knee pain
  • Soft Tissue Lower Limb pain

You will be referred to the app by one of our GPs or Physio, or you can self-register via the GetUBetter website.

Please use an email address that is unique to you and select the  condition you need help to manage. You will then be sent an email with all the information you need to get started.

You can download the getUBetter app to your Smartphone for easiest access or use the Webapp.

If you develop another condition select your new condition from within the app and it will be added to your account.
