Today we're discussing AI-powered physiotherapy app from Flok Health which has seen widespread media coverage and has gained both CQC and MHRA approval, promising to slash waiting lists for back pain.

The goal is compelling: automate care for straightforward cases to free up human clinicians for complex ones. But what does the evidence really say?

In this 5-minute analysis, I break down:

- The core challenge of validating safety, especially around "red flag" screening.

- Why pilot studies on NHS staff, while promising, aren't enough.

- The specific, robust evidence needed to justify widespread adoption.

Is this the future of musculoskeletal care or a solution built on speculative claims? My verdict: Keep a Close Eye on This.

Listen to the full episode to understand the critical next steps for turning this promising idea into a trusted clinical tool.
