Physiotherapy guided by people. Made more powerful by AI.
AI-supported physiotherapy from a dedicated physiotherapist, delivered at home. Real-time movement guidance, continuous progress tracking, and a physiotherapist who adjusts your plan as you recover. No waiting list. No clinic visits. Covered by your private insurance or free through the SNS.
Your recovery doesn't take a day off
Most physiotherapy happens in short appointments, weeks apart. Between them, you're on your own. Sword works differently. A physiotherapist manages your programme from first assessment through to discharge, with clinical oversight that continues between sessions rather than pausing until the next one. Your progress is tracked every session, and your plan adjusts as you improve, not just when you next get an appointment.

Why AI-supported physiotherapy is more effective
AI-supported physiotherapy uses technology to make clinical care more continuous. In Sword's programme, AI tracks your movement during every session and monitors your progress between them, giving your physiotherapist an ongoing picture of how you are recovering, beyond what any single appointment can show.
In a traditional physiotherapy setting, your clinician sees you for 30 to 45 minutes and then has no visibility until you return. If something changes between appointments, such as a flare-up, a compensating movement pattern, a plateau, they find out when you mention it, at the next available slot. That gap is where progress stalls and people stop trying.
Your plan adjusts on the basis of what is actually happening, not what you remember to report. Changes are flagged to your physiotherapist before they become setbacks. In clinical research, 81% of people on a digital physiotherapy programme completed it in full, consistently exceeding in-person benchmarks.⁴ Closing the gap between sessions is a large part of why.
Your physiotherapist reviews the data, adjusts your plan, and is accountable for your care from the first session through to discharge. AI gives them a more complete picture. The judgement is theirs.
Why people choose Sword
People choose Sword because it makes consistent recovery realistic. Here's what that looks like.
Real physiotherapy, not just exercises
Your programme is built and managed by a dedicated physiotherapist. They review your progress, adjust your plan, and are available when you need them. This is clinical care, not an exercise library.
Consistency becomes possible
Sessions fit your schedule. No travel, no waiting room, no rearranging your week around a clinic slot. For most people, removing the friction is what makes consistent recovery realistic.
Your plan changes as you do
Your physiotherapist tracks your movement data between sessions. When something shifts (a flare-up, a plateau, a new goal), your plan shifts with it. You don't wait until your next appointment for that to happen.

What people say about Sword
Being able to do my treatment from home and on my own schedule is fantastic!
I can't see myself doing physiotherapy any other way. On a scale of zero to ten, I'd give Sword an 11.
I can do my sessions whenever I want and at whatever time I want. I love having this flexibility.
The constant support and full availability of my physiotherapist were the key to my recovery.
I gained a therapist available just for me. Someone who listened to me, pushed me, and genuinely cared about me.
I'm back to one of the activities I missed the most — caring for and carrying my youngest daughter!
Yesterday I walked for about 40 minutes. Two weeks ago this was unthinkable for me — let alone on my own and without crutches!
It far exceeded all my expectations — from the warm, professional, and seamless welcome to the efficient, timely, and motivating support.
