People with musculoskeletal (MSK) health issues affecting their joints, bones and muscles who are registered with a GP practice in Leeds can now use getUBetter, a new app designed to help people with MSK injuries and conditions manage their symptoms at home.
The free app gives users information, tips, advice, and exercises to help them recover and improve their health and lifestyle.
The getUBetter app offers people with joint and muscle issues:
•
24/7 support approved by your clinicians
•
Easy to follow exercises
•
Support to recover, live and work well
•
Help when on a waiting list
•
Advice on when to seek help from a GP
•
Access to local treatments and services
•
Support for managing persistent pain
The app is not designed to replace the care and advice people with joint and muscle injuries and conditions get from their GP practice and medical specialists, but to complement the care they already receive.
To download the app search ‘GetUBetter’ in your phone’s app store.
