Currently it costs £7billion to treat the UK's 20 million people affected by musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, back and chronic pain.

This is Good Boost's key market and, in a bid to stem the misery, its NHS-certified technology harnesses artificial intelligence (AI) to create personalised exercise programmes and augmented reality games that customers are able to access on bespoke, waterproof tablets.

Now forecasting a £5million-plus turnover come 2026, the not-forprofit social enterprise, which launched five years ago, has been developed with £1.3m of social impact backing and is in the process of raising its first round of equity investment.

Its package, where costs are from £2 to £3 a session for customers, is one that's proving to be a multi-win.
