"Paindrainers medical device has truly helped me create a more balanced daily routine and make conscious decisions to prioritize what is valuable for me and improve my well-being.

After just a week of using the PD Care app, I received recommendation to prioritize more sleep. Now, I've increased mysleep from 6 to 7 hours per night, which has really benefited me. In addition to sleep, the app made me aware that longer workout sessions were increasing my pain interference. As a result, I've adjusted my training to shorter sessions of no more than 20 minutes and added an extra training day per week instead,which suits me much better.”
