Company profile

researched Aug 2026

MoovBuddy is a digital health company offering an AI-powered physical health coaching application focused on musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions and postural problems. The consumer product begins with a short health quiz, produces a detailed health result and health score, and generates a personalized exercise plan created by the company's AI engine. The app includes personalized health tips, doctor's advice, daily stretching and breathing exercises, weekly challenges and a progress tracker, with exercise, sexual health and breathing content stated to be created by doctors and physiotherapists.

Alongside the self-guided app, MoovBuddy runs an online physiotherapy service. Users can book a free 15-minute pre-interview with a physiotherapist, then one-on-one online sessions covering assessment and a personalized exercise program delivered inside the app, with weekly meetings, progress monitoring and video-explained exercises. The service targets pain management (back, lower back, shoulder, knee, hip and other joint pain), chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, post-surgery rehabilitation, posture disorders including those caused by desk work, exercise counselling and movement restrictions.

The company also sells an employee well-being program to corporate buyers, positioning workplace physical health around productivity, employee loyalty, absenteeism and healthcare costs, with an enquiry form segmented by employer size bands from 1-99 up to 2,000+ employees.

Business model

MoovBuddy operates both B2C and B2B2C models. Consumers use the app and can purchase premium membership bundled with paid one-on-one online physiotherapy sessions, while businesses can buy employee well-being programs for their workforces.

Revenue comes from paid online physiotherapy packages sold with bundled MoovBuddy Premium membership — $99 for one session with 15 days of Premium, $179 for two sessions with one month of Premium, and $299/yr for four sessions with one year of Premium — plus corporate employee well-being programs.
