Flok Health is the first NHS AI-run physiotherapy clinic, and it specializes in assessing and treating back pain and musculoskeletal concerns. These areas of health affect millions daily, yet many people face weeks-long waits before they can access the care or treatment they need. As the UK's first digital physiotherapy clinic, Flok Health does things differently with same-day, all-year, round-the-clock assessments, and a system that adapts to thousands of unique variables to deliver effective, highly individualized treatment plans—and at a fraction of the cost of traditional visits.
As part of a 12-week trial in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Flok Health treated over 2,500 patients and reduced back pain wait times by 55% and all musculoskeletal treatment times by 44%. What's more, just 2% needed to be transferred to face-to-face care with human practitioners.
