The Good Boost programme
Good Boost is an app-based therapeutic water exercise programme. It’s been designed specifically for people with limited mobility and musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. These include, among others arthritis and back pain, which cause pain to millions all over the country.
Good Boost technology aims to improve people’s lives by helping them to get moving with gentle exercise in a fun and social environment. Sessions are delivered on tablets and are individually tailored for participants.
Built by clinical experts, the technology supports people to reduce pain and improve mobility on land or in the pool. Good Boost sessions are suitable for a wide range of health conditions, including:
- Musculoskeletal conditions
- Osteoarthritis
- Before and after hip and knee joint replacement
- Hip and knee pain
- Rheumatoid arthritis

Getting referred to the Good Boost programme
We accept referrals from healthcare professionals as part of the exercise referral scheme or self-referrals.
New participants need to arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled session to fill in some details which will help the artificial intelligence create a personalised physical activity programme.
Sessions are supported by an exercise referral instructor who can help with any technical questions about the tablets.
