Immediate Release: 27.5.25

Health-tech innovator, DocHQ, has partnered with physiotherapy provider, First Point Physio, to extend its cutting-edge services to NHS patients across the UK. 

The partnership means that NHS patients registered at 160 GP surgeries served by First Point’s Chartered Physiotherapists can now receive AI leveraged treatment. This expands the availability of DocHQ’s services beyond private health practice, which has witnessed a transformation in patient recovery since its introduction. As well as the convenience of not having to travel to follow-up appointments, DocHQ’s interactive online treatment plans receive over twice the normal adherence rates (70-90%) and knock weeks off the average time it takes to discharge a patient. 

DocHQ uses AI and advanced computer-vision technology to support physios in assessing patient needs and delivering a choice of 600 preloaded workouts specifically designed for nearly 80 conditions. It works using any home device with a camera (phone, laptop etc) and collects data from 111 body points in real-time that physios can use to fast-track progress, fine-tune exercises and, ultimately, discharge patients.

Madhur Srivastava, Founder and CEO of DocHQ, commented: “This is a game-changer in offering personalised, patient-centric and engaging treatment plans at scale. You have immediate, real-time feedback, rather than waiting for in-person appointments and relying on photocopied exercises that are frequently ignored. So adherence rates are higher and recovery time lower, benefiting both the patients and the professionals treating them.”

Philip Dale, Founder and CEO of First Point Physio, added: “Our service is all about taking pressure away from overstretched resources. This now gives us a superpower. It speeds up the whole journey from injury to getting back to normal and avoids a lot of the waste we see with unnecessary in-person appointments.”

Notes to editor: Patient Testimonials 

  • Tim Jordan shares his experience using DocHQ for his neck pain, which had caused him difficulty sleeping: “Having real-time feedback made a big difference compared to traditional physio. DocHQ Physio kept me consistent, and the structure meant I actually stuck to my exercises. My neck pain has improved, and I now sleep much better. Highly recommend!” https://youtu.be/xvhDkzNpicU  

  • Loretta Finn shares her recovery journey with DocHQ for pain down her left arm: “What I love is the instant feedback, the clear on-screen demonstrations, and the feeling that I’m not doing this alone. It’s motivating too, if I drop from 99% to 90%, I push myself to improve. Unlike past experiences where I’d get a few paper exercises and be left on my own, DocHQ keeps me engaged, consistent, and progressing. I’ve even asked for more exercises!” https://youtu.be/Sbe2kbZg30c

  • David Moran shares how DocHQ helped him recover from knee pain: “I had pain in my left knee, normally it goes away in a week, but this time it kept giving out, and I was tripping over a lot. It got really bad. My Physiotherapist gave a set of exercises to do using DocHQ Physio. I’ve already told friends and family how great it is. It’s amazing.” https://youtu.be/6Y4sD8Uqmys
