Neck, Back, Joint or Muscle Pain

getUBetter

The getUBetter app is provided free of charge for patients registered at Grafton Square Surgery. It can be accessed on a smartphone via an app or as a website and guides you day-by-day through a sequence of exercises and tips to help you get better from a range of new or recurrent musculoskeletal conditions:

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

You will be referred to the app by one of our GPs or Physio, or you can self-register by going to: app.getubetter.com.

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 web app.

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

The app will also connect you to your local treatment healthcare providers or support services if needed (e.g. physiotherapy).

First Contact Practitioner

We host a First Contact Practitioner service at our Grafton Square site. This service is for patients who are suffering from joint or muscle pain. If you have a problem that affects your neck, back, joints or muscles you are able to directly see a First Contact Practitioner (FCP) instead of a GP. Appointments for this service can be made online or by contacting reception.
