How it works
You pick the area that bothers you and give it a score from 0 to 10. Then you get one guided step with a short video from Rune Åbø's own self-treatment protocols, built on his experience of treating over 26,000 people. Afterwards you rate the same thing again and see for yourself whether anything changed. Later check-ins show whether the response holds.
Pros / Cons
Pros
- Concrete: one step at a time, with video
- You rate before and after, so you can see if it helps
- Free to start, no download needed
- Made by Rune Åbø, a hands-on therapist for many years, using his own method
Cons
- A new service with far fewer users than the big apps
- No App Store app yet – it opens in your browser
- Gives no diagnosis and does not replace health care
- If you take warfarin (Marevan), have lymph cancer or severe pain without a known cause, talk to a doctor before you try the self-treatment.
