I’m a Believer
This app is so great, with the educational aspect paired with the hypnosis. I have suffered from back pain for many years and had spinal decompression surgery, but the pain persisted.
I did the 6 week program and I continue to do the hypnosis every day. Many times I do the hypnosis multiple times per day.
I love that the app just picks the hypnosis for you each day. Sometimes I get overwhelmed trying to pick a meditation out from the many options on YouTube or the Calm app. Less wasted time searching means more meditating and more relief!
I’d suggest a two tier price model for those of us who have completed the program and just want access to the hypnosis sessions. But it’s still worth every penny!

Finally some hope
I’ve lived with recurrent pains in my back for the last 30+ years. There’s never been a formal diagnosis, a major trauma or injury etc. I’ve paid tens of thousands of dollars over the years seeing various therapists – physio, chiro, osteo, massage. Was always just a revolving door of see you next week.
The simplistic education and calming Hypnos seem to be having a really positive affect on me. I’m only halfway through the program but have very high hopes for the future.

My special place
I would like a special place all for my self in real time. It’s so relaxing. And my pain dose die down a bit well I am listening to the program.
Avoid dealing with this company
I used this app last year but stopped using it at least 8 months ago. Two months ago I had a Visa charge for $249 for a company I didn’t recognize (Nerva). It was the parent company for this app. Without my knowledge or consent they charged me for an automatic annual renewal. I contacted Visa to dispute the charge. I also immediately contacted Nerva. They have refused to refund me my $249, stating it is not their refund policy. They did however cancel the subscription.
Unethical corporate greed trumps customer service. Avoid dealing wth this company.

Serious glitches every night - it won’t open
I paid $200 for this and every night after day three it doesn’t open no matter what I do. I cannot get the hypnosis part to open or any kind of audio. I sign out and sign in, sign out and sign in, sign out and sign in and eventually, I can get it to work. I was told to delete the entire app and reinstall it, which I did —same problem. Then I was told maybe there is not enough storage on my phone. I have plenty of storage and it does play after I sign out, sign in, sign out, sign in, sign out, sign in over and over. So for $200 this is not worth it. I’m still not sure what I’m gonna do. I did ask for a refund but the problem is it is a good app. It really is but it’s unusable. So I don’t know. I’ve got a ticket into them and I’m gonna see what we can do. Another thing I’m gonna ask them to do is stop with that AI email every day. There’s this AI response of one sentence saying “we’re still waiting to hear your answer” after I submitted a problem, and even when I have answered. It’s clear it’s AI and it’s really getting on my nerves. To be honest, I don’t think the customer service is that good. The answers are just those kind of answers you get like when you call Xfinity. Not once have they said we need to escalate this to IT.

Positive change
The Relio app and process has created a consistent and progressive change to my back pain. I have gone from 5-8 pain levels and annoying foot neuropathy and using ice daily to 2-3 pain level, using ice packs maybe twice a week, reduced fatigue, less tension, and a positive way to manage pain.
Rip off
$199 a year?!?! Wow! Ridiculous
Great stuff
I’m a long term chronic pain sufferer. The sessions are really calming, helping to slow down some pain signals after three weeks. I do two sessions a day, one being at bedtime, which calms me and helps in falling asleep. I’ve made a personal 90 day commitment.
Works
I have several herniated discs giving me pain. I was in and out of hospital, on all sorts of medication, ambulance runs. I started this, and it helped a lot. I fall asleep to the meditation every night. I finished 6 weeks along with physical therapy and I restarted the program. My pain is more manageable. If you want it to work, it will work.

Highly Informative, Excellent App.
I attended a Pain Clinic many years ago & this is by far much easier to absorb & understand. I’m reading all the 6weeks of info again to really grasp & integrate the importance of the brain & the pain system. I wish everyone could read this because the importance of understanding this connection is so great but something we are rarely ever taught. If you have any sort of prolonged pain, even if it’s a structural disability that’s incurable, you will still benefit greatly from the information provided here. Knowledge is power, & to feel more empowered regarding your body & pain you feel, can lift a lot of depression & confusion…& help you feel more in control of your circumstances. I definitely cannot recommend this App highly enough- even for all medical workers too, to explain to their patients & give them some self control, dignity & understanding… it’s a game changer. The Hypnosis sessions are well thought out & incredibly relaxing too. Thank you, it’s a 10/10 from me.

It worked for me!!
This 6 weeks program took my back pain from 8/10 to about 1/10 consistently. I saw real improvement in pain about 2.5/3 weeks in. It changed my life and my outlook regarding my chronic back pain. I now feel like permanent relief is very possible and probable. Thank you for creating this incredible app!

Stopped my chronic back pain!
I can’t recommend this app enough. After suffering chronic lower back pain for many years, using this app daily led to a great reduction in chronic pain. The app is easy and relaxing to use, and helped me learn a lot about how the pain system works in the body. Please give it a try and hopefully it works for you!

Excellent!
At first I was extremely sceptical about the Relio program. I have had neck and shoulder pain for 10+ years. But I was so surprised! This app totally transformed the way I thought about my back pain. In the past I would limit my movement in every way possible to prevent back pain but now I realise my back is actually strong and movement is the key to success. I am now running, lifting weights and living my best life. I still have flare ups but the app helps me to remember I am strong and this is a short term problem rather than my life. An MRI confirmed that I have no structural damage which means I can focus on my mindset and staying strong. Excellent!

Life changing
I found Relio when I was in a state of desperation. My back pain had returned with a n intensity that scared me. I was looking for a mindful meditation and found the Relio program. Their one week trial and low annual fee gave me the confidence I needed to believe that they really wanted to help. This program has helped me understand and equilibriate my entire mind body system. I’m only halfway through and excited for the next half.

Bad customer experience
I didn’t find this particular program helpful. Mindful meditation I definitely believe in for pain management, but I found the repetition to really take me out of it. I know it’s deliberate, but everyone is different, and their methods didn’t work for me. I also had a bad experience with their customer support. I asked them to honor their 6 week money back guarantee after giving it a try for the full 6 weeks, as they kept telling me to do. Well 6 weeks and 1 day later I emailed them asking about it and I got a response that seemed like they didn’t even read my email at all, just empty words about giving the program a fair shot. I emailed again and they wouldn’t honor the money back guarantee saying I was 24 hours late. I do not recommend.

Getting Results
This program was recommended to me. I have struggled with back and neck pain for several years. I was intrigued, mainly because there was no mention of pills or manual manipulation which I have found to be short term fixes.
I am very happy with the results after three weeks. The daily reading has increased my knowledge about the relationship between the back and the brain.
The therapy itself is relaxing and is definitely helping me to overcome my chronic pain and enjoy activities more knowing my pain during and afterwards can be managed.

perfect voice!
love the voice, the sessions instantly calm me down, research seems credible and i can tell that it’s probably going to work for me!
Fantastic!
Here is a happy revision to my review: They have added additional high quality hypnosis sessions and additional educational content. I now am completely satisfied with my $199 investment. I find Relio far superior to Curable because it’s structured in a straightforward manner, and it’s tone seems thorough and serious without being academic. ———- First the good: The clinical hypnosis sessions are excellent. The audio guidance is relaxing yet forthright. It isn’t “woo woo” with a singsong voice or spa music. The guidance directly addresses back pain and is far deeper than a simple guided meditation. I found the clinical hypnosis sessions to be far more powerful than the meditations in Curable. The information about pain science and back pain specifically was thorough and helpful. Could be better: I agree completely with an earlier reviewer that having only a total of 7 guided hypnosis sessions, which repeat each week is disappointing and repetitive. For this price point and length, it seems 14 sessions would be the minimum. I emailed this feedback and was told the repetition was intentional, but my feedback stands. Although the back pain science in the early part of the program was excellent, they then moved on to using very basic behavior change suggestions such as SMART goals and good sleep hygiene. This is self-help 101 and landed as condescending and simplistic from my perspective. Final conclusion: I did benefit greatly from this program. I appreciated the specific structure of 20 minutes a day. My pain reduced as a result of using it, and if I had it to do over, I would. Also given the choice between Relio and Curable, I’d chose Relio hands down.
