Tepy, a new App arrives that offers a “digital physiotherapist” for muscle pain that can be managed independently

A recent study conducted by Eurostat revealed that approximately half of Italians search for information online regarding their health or temporary problemswith a higher incidence among those aged between tbetween 45 and 55 years old. However, despite the increase in autonomy in searching for such information, what is available on the web, from video tutorials to advice provided by personal trainers or influencers in the fitness sector, is not always transparent and suitable for everyone, especially when it's about offering personalized treatments for muscle problems. Each person needs specific consultation.

In this digital age, artificial intelligence can be a valuable ally in improving well-being and health, especially in the fields of Physiotherapy and indeed fitness. In response to the lack of targeted and specific solutions found online to tackle exercises or manage pain through rehabilitation therapies, Tepy: an innovative application for iOS and Android featuring physiotherapy that was developed in the Marche region and has already achieved widespread success in 162 countries.

«Tepy was developed to offer an advanced alternative to the numerous often generic and poorly personalized rehabilitation videos available online. The app delivers free access to a wide range of content every monthincluding rehabilitation programs and physical activity support sessions, carefully selected by the Tepy team – he explains Luca SquadroniCEO of Tepy – it is essentially about the first digital physiotherapist in the world, capable of selecting exercises with precision and scientific validity, without relying on predefined lists, as happens with other solutions on the market. Tepy's AI system is constantly being improved by a team of over 15 healthcare specialists while the first clinical trials are underway at various physiotherapy universities. It is important to underline that in case of acute pain, it is always advisable to consult a qualified professional.”

Tepy represents a step forward in the independent treatment of minor muscle problems such as tension, back pain or joint discomfort, offering a reliable alternative to the often confusing if not dangerous approximate solutions found online. All you need is a smartphone and an internet connection.

Every time the user updates their symptoms, the app reconfigures itself to the new clinical situation.

Inside the app, in the section dedicated to physiotherapy, it is possible to learn techniques self-massage and follow rehabilitation exercise programs using specific tools such as trigger ball, foam roller And massage gun, whether at home, in the gym or even in the workplace thanks to the active break section. In the section dedicated to fitness, however, there are sections pre and post workout to best prepare and recover from the exercises included in the program. All the programs offered by Tepy are adapted to the user's lifestyle and symptoms, thanks to its clinical-IT intelligence and collaboration with numerous healthcare professionals.

It is the first solution to musculoskeletal pain that can be adapted to the user's needs, created by professionals in the sector to make quality physiotherapy care more accessible and to address problems before they become difficult to manage, thus alleviating the burden on the national healthcare system.”
