Problem
Most people only seek help for musculoskeletal issues after pain or injury has already occurred, making treatment reactive rather than preventive. Traditional assessments are often inaccessible, generic, or not grounded in current clinical evidence, leaving individuals without clear guidance on how to maintain strength, mobility, and joint health as they age.
Solution
Protero provides a prevention-first digital platform that helps individuals assess their musculoskeletal health and receive personalised action plans. The core offering is the Movement Age score, a single metric that compares the health of a person's spine, joints, and muscles to their chronological age, built entirely from peer-reviewed prevention research. Users complete a clinician-designed assessment that surfaces personal risk factors, then receive a clear breakdown of their risk profile with plain-language explanations. Based on this, Protero generates a tailored prevention plan of targeted movements and strategies. The platform also includes Protero Learn, a separate education arm offering comprehensive MSK and sports medicine training for UK clinicians, reinforcing the company's evidence-based, clinician-built approach.
Target Audience
Primary users are everyday individuals seeking to proactively manage their musculoskeletal health and prevent injuries, alongside UK clinicians and health professionals looking for evidence-based MSK education through Protero Learn.
