15 minute sessions daily with 4 exercises
- Train with video, audio and text
- Get step by step guidance before every exercise
- Reminders on the correct execution of your exercises
- Training plans tailored to your back pain


Your feedback counts
- You give ViViRA feedback after every exercise and your responses determine the configuration of the next training
- You can exclude some exercises completely


Medical algorithm
- The medical algorithm of the ViViRA app individualizes your training contents daily
- Your feedback influences the algorithm: it determines the exercise selection, intensity and complexity
- As gently as possible, you are gradually pushed toward your limits with simple exercises


Your progression at a glance
- Your activity history shows you which goals you have reached
- Take a look at charts on pain, mobility, limitations on quality of life and fitness for work

3 days in & I continue to be disappointed. The UI is not great, e.g. videos aren't shown full screen. The UX is even worse as a continuous audio guide and countdown per unit would make things a lot more enjoyable and easier. It's standard in the most basic fitness apps. Instead the intro video keeps playing on loop. Feedback regarding completion and discomfort is asked after every exercise, but it's not taken into account as far as I can see, as I keep be presented with the same exercises.

The app is better than I could expect. After only 1 month I really see the improvement on my well being. I would suggest as an improvement the possibility to change the answers given on the app about pain after an exercise or on the journal: sometimes I added by mistake the wrong answer and it could not be corrected. I would also suggest that the days on which the mobility and strength test are done, it should not contain also the daily set of exercises. It's too tiring. All in all: awesome App

So so useful. An absolute godsend if you suffer with pain in any of these areas. It's fantastic knowing that the exercises that are recommended, are based on scientific information. Thank you to Vivira for also making it possible to use the app for free throughout COVID19 crisis.
