End back pain on your PHONE?

According to the National Institutes of Health, upwards of 70% of older adults live with some type of BACK PAIN.

And no matter how “severe” the pain is, the mainstream solution to feeling better is a bottle full of pain pills.

But before you reach for yet another drug that only masks the pain…

Today I’ve got NEW solution to your back troubles that could make OTC drugs obsolete… and your pain DISAPPEAR!

And best of all, all you need is your smartphone!

Doctors and researchers in Norway have developed a new app called selfBack—which it helps users identify their specific back pain to create a long-term plan designed for each user.

Here’s how it works:

Once you open the app, it will explain back pain and then tailor advice into actions (like exercise, yoga, and other physical activities).

Then, after answering a series of questions about your sitting position, lifestyle, and your specific back issues, the app shares a customized plan that you can follow each week.

Sounds pretty cool (and easy), right?!

And get this… studies found that 52% of users reported feeling better after just three months of using the app.

The app is currently available for both Apple or Android smartphones.

Health Sciences Institute has no affiliation with selfBack or it’s developers. We’re sharing this science-based (and drug-free) tool that could help if you’re dealing with back pain.

If you’re currently on a back pain relief program with your doctor, be sure to discuss selfBack with him first before using it.

You can also talk with your doctor about other options like chiropractic care.

To a strong, healthy back,
