Your back pain has a type.
Your programme should match it.
The exercises you're doing might be making it worse. Fesera finds your exact pain type first, then builds a programme around it. Follow it on your own, or join a small coached group that keeps you going until the pain actually shifts.

Pain score improving
Week 4, down from 7 to 3The First of Its Kind
The first back pain programme that won't give you a single exercise until it knows your type.
Generic apps give everyone the same exercises. Fesera classifies your exact pain pattern first, then builds your programme around it, because the exercises that relieve one pattern can aggravate another. It's not you. Nobody ever figured out your type.
Better sitting, worse standing
Your pain eases when you sit or bend forward. Exercises focus on gentle forward movement and taking pressure off the spine.
Better standing, worse sitting
Your pain eases when you stand upright or arch back. Exercises focus on gentle backward bending and posture correction.
No clear directional pattern
No single position makes it better or worse. The focus is on retraining the deep muscles that support your spine.
Nervous system amplification
Your nervous system has become over-sensitive and is amplifying pain signals. The programme starts with education to calm it down before adding exercise.
Pain travelling down the leg
Pain, tingling, or numbness runs into one or both legs. Exercises gently free up the affected nerve alongside spine-specific movements.
One-sided, deep buttock ache
Pain comes from the joint connecting your lower spine to your pelvis. Exercises stabilise that joint and the surrounding muscles.
Spine "gives way" or "catches"
Your spine lacks the muscle control to hold itself steady. The programme rebuilds that deep control before adding any weight or resistance.
How It Works
Simple steps to a structured recovery.
Take the Assessment
A short clinical questionnaire, validated and evidence-based, identifies your specific back pain subtype, psychosocial risk level, and any red flags that require a doctor's attention first. Free to complete.
See Your Results, Then Decide
At the end of the assessment you will see your exact pain subtype, psychosocial risk level, and a projected recovery timeline. No payment needed to see your results. When you are ready, a one-time payment unlocks your full 6-week programme immediately.
Recover, Day by Day
Daily guided sessions, pain check-ins, and automatic progression on your phone. The app adapts when you need more time, so nothing is rushed and nothing is generic.
The Recovery Journey
Two phases to get you better. One to keep you there.
The 6-week core takes you from pain control to confident, controlled movement. After that, an optional continuation builds the strength that keeps the pain from coming back.
Pain Control
Reduce sensitisation, restore gentle range of motion, establish daily movement habits, and understand why your back has been hurting. McGill Spine Hygiene from Day 1.
Core & Stability
Subtype-specific loading begins across seven different tracks. Deep stabiliser activation, glute strengthening, and exercises tailored exactly to your pattern.
Functional Strength
Once the core 6 weeks have you moving well, the optional continuation builds real strength: squats, hip hinges, and loaded carries that make your back resilient, not just recovered. This is where relapse prevention lives.
Built into Every Session
The science, built in.
Fesera isn't a video library you forget after Day 3. It's a structured clinical programme delivered one day at a time, with automatic progression, pain monitoring, and evidence-based education woven into every session.
Never push through a flare-up again
Every session opens with a quick 0 to 10 check-in, and the programme adjusts to match. You never overdo it on a bad day or waste a good one, and your progress is tracked the whole way.
Stop guessing if you're doing too much
Using your pain data and the 24-hour recovery rule, Fesera decides when to push, hold, or ease off. You never have to wonder whether you're doing too much or too little.
Finally understand why your back hurts
One short lesson a day covering pain science, spine anatomy, mindset, McGill hygiene, and flare-up management. You learn not just what to do, but why it actually works.
Works Offline on Your Phone
Fesera is a Progressive Web App, so there's no App Store required. Add it to your home screen and access the full programme anywhere.
Licensed Physiotherapist
Built by a Clinician
Designed by Alao Daniel, licensed physiotherapist.
Good physiotherapy works. The issue is access. Sessions are expensive, the nearest clinic is not always close, and most people leave with a generic exercise sheet that does not account for what is actually driving their specific pain.
Fesera was built as a companion to close that gap. A structured, evidence-based programme you can follow at home whether you have never seen a physio, are managing between sessions, or have just been discharged and want to keep progressing. And beyond the exercises, it helps you understand your back properly. What type of pain you have, why it behaves the way it does, and what recovery actually looks like for your specific pattern.
Where Fesera Fits
Most of your recovery happens at home.
Already seeing a physio?
Your physiotherapist treats you once or twice a week. Fesera is what you do the other five days: the structured home programme that carries about 70% of the real recovery work, done properly instead of from a photocopied sheet.
Can't get to one?
There is roughly 1 physiotherapist for every 40,000 Nigerians. Fesera is your evidence-based starting point, and it opens with a red-flag screen that tells you the moment you need to see a clinician in person instead.
You've likely spent more on painkillers and balm this year than Fesera costs once. They quiet the signal. They don't change the pattern, so the pain keeps coming back.

Early clinical feedback
Reviewed by the people who know recovery best.
The structured progression is exactly how I would build a home programme for my own patients, and the home programme is about 70% of where real recovery actually happens. Fesera does that part properly.
I expected the assessment to be gimmicky. It is genuinely easy to use, and the subtype classification was clinically accurate. That is rare.
Patient stories go here next. We are collecting them properly, with real before and after pain scores from the founding cohort, not stock quotes. If you want your result on this page, the first places are open now.

Two ways to do it
Do it on your own, or do it with a coach.
Most people who try to fix their back alone stop within two weeks. Not because the plan is wrong, but because no one is keeping them going. So Fesera comes two ways. Both start with the same free assessment and the same subtype-matched programme. The only difference is how much support you want.
On your own
The full 6-week programme on your phone. Your subtype, your daily sessions, your pace. Best if you are self-driven and want to start right now, today.
- Your subtype-matched 6-week programme
- Daily guided sessions and pain check-ins
- Education built into every session
- One-time payment, no subscription
Free to start. Pay only to unlock.
With a physiotherapist
Seven days, a small group, and the physiotherapist who built Fesera checking your progress every single day. It is the first week of your matched programme done properly: daily sessions in the app, questions answered on WhatsApp, and someone who notices if you go quiet. Finish the week and you get first option on the supervised 6-week programme, with your ₦7,500 fully credited.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know.
Is the assessment really free?
Yes, completely. The assessment covers red flag screening, your pain profile, psychosocial risk scoring, and full subtype classification. You only pay if you choose to unlock your 6-week recovery programme at the end. No payment is required to see your results.
How is Fesera different from YouTube exercises or a generic app?
Generic programmes give everyone the same exercises. The problem is that back pain is not one condition. Exercises that relieve a flexion-biased pattern can actively aggravate an extension-biased one. Fesera classifies your specific subtype first, then builds a programme around that pattern, your psychosocial risk level, and your pain intensity. It also includes daily pain monitoring, automatic progression, and 42 short education modules across the 6 weeks.
Do I need any equipment?
No. Phases 1 and 2 require only a mat and floor space. Phase 3 introduces resistance work, but bodyweight alternatives are always provided so you never need a gym.
Is this safe to use without seeing a physiotherapist in person?
The assessment starts with a red flag screen. If any warning signs appear, you are directed to see a doctor before continuing. If the screen is clear, the programme is designed to be safe for self-administration. It was built by licensed physiotherapist Alao Daniel based on the same clinical frameworks used in professional practice and the real cases he has managed directly.
What if my pain gets worse during the programme?
Every session opens with a pain check-in. If your score is elevated, the programme reduces load and flags the issue. If your pain worsens significantly or new symptoms appear at any point, the programme tells you to pause and seek professional input. You are never pushed to continue through a flare-up.
What if I miss days or fall behind?
The programme does not expire and does not penalise missed days. Pick up where you left off. If you are in a flare-up, the daily pain check-in scales the session back accordingly. Nothing is time-locked or rushed.
What type of back pain is Fesera for?
Fesera is designed for chronic non-specific low back pain that has lasted more than 12 weeks and is not caused by a fracture, infection, cancer, or a condition requiring surgical management. The assessment screens for these conditions at the start and will tell you if Fesera is not the right fit for you.
What happens after I pay?
Your account is created during the assessment flow. Once your payment is confirmed via Paystack, your 6-week programme unlocks immediately. Access it from any phone browser. No app download required, no App Store, no waiting.
What exactly is the 7-Day Challenge?
It is the first week of your matched programme, done with supervision instead of alone. You get full app access, a small WhatsApp group of 15 people who all start together, and the physiotherapist who built Fesera reviewing everyone's daily check-ins. If your pain spikes, you get told exactly what to do. If you go quiet, someone notices. If your form is off, you send a video and get a correction within 24 hours. At the end of the week you have real data on how your back responds, and first option to continue into the supervised 6-week programme with your ₦7,500 fully credited.
Why is the Challenge paid if the assessment is free?
Because free groups don't finish. We ran the numbers honestly: when a place costs nothing, people skip days, the group goes quiet, and everyone gets less out of it. A small commitment means every person in your group actually shows up, and that group energy is a real part of why supervised programmes get better results than solo ones. The ₦7,500 is also not lost: it is fully credited if you continue past the week.
What happens after the 7 days?
Three options, no pressure. Most finishers continue into the supervised 6-week programme (the full recovery, same group format) with the ₦7,500 you already paid taken off the price. If you would rather continue alone, you can unlock the self-paced 6-week programme instead. Or you simply stop, keeping everything you learned and your first week of results. The continuation offer stays open for 7 days after your challenge ends.
Challenge or self-paced, which should I pick?
Honest answer: the research on programmes like this is clear that people with support finish at two to three times the rate of people going alone, and finishing is what produces results. If you have tried to fix your back before and stopped, or you know accountability is what you're missing, take the Challenge. If you are genuinely self-driven, have done programmes solo before, and want to start this minute, self-paced is the same clinical programme at your own pace. You can also start self-paced and join a Challenge group later.
Recovery Insights
From the Fesera blog.
Why Your Back Pain Keeps Coming Back
It eases for a few weeks, then one small bend brings it back. That cycle is not bad luck. It has three common causes, and all three can be fixed.
Should You Rest Your Back or Keep Moving?
One person says lie down, another says walk it off. Only one of them is backed by the evidence, and the answer changes how quickly you recover.
Is Sitting Really Bad for Your Back?
The chair gets blamed for everything. But sitting is not damaging your spine, and how your back responds to it is one of the most useful clues you have.
What Painkillers Can't Fix
Ibuprofen, muscle relaxants, opioids. They help for a while. Then they don't. Here is what each drug actually does, and what exercise does that no pill can.
Why Movement Beats Passive Treatment for Chronic Back Pain
Massage feels good. Heat helps. But neither of them changes the underlying problem. Here is what the evidence actually says.
