Back to Action 1.3

Back to Action is an innovative exercise application tailored for individuals with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). Developed by a team of physiotherapists collaborating with the National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society (NASS) and exercise therapists from Headley Court—who specialize in treating military personnel with AS—the app incorporates the latest findings from physiotherapy and sports medicine.

The application's design prioritizes clarity, ease of use, and engagement, making it suitable for both gym environments and home use as part of a daily routine.

Back to Action offers a comprehensive range of exercises focused on mobility, cardiovascular fitness, strength, flexibility, and breathing. It also provides supplemental information on other physical activities and sports, alongside resources for gym personnel regarding AS.
