MSK origin
Physiotherapy, movement, recovery, early support.
ABOUT TRIGO
A simple idea. A bigger vision.
Trigo began with one physiotherapist’s belief that people achieve better outcomes when they are supported to help themselves. Today, that belief has become a digital platform for supported self-care, prevention and healthier participation at scale.
FROM CLINICAL PRACTICE
From clinical practice into a platform vision
For more than twenty years, Frode Skjelvan worked directly with people living with pain, injury and long-term health challenges.
As a physiotherapist, he saw that many people improved during treatment, but struggled to sustain progress once formal care ended.
The problem was rarely lack of motivation. People wanted to feel better, move better and live healthier lives. What they often lacked was support between appointments: confidence, structure, guidance and practical tools they could use in everyday life.
That insight became the foundation of Trigo.
OUR ORIGIN, OUR EVOLUTION
Built from MSK. Designed to go further.
Trigo’s first use cases came from musculoskeletal care because that was where Frode had deep experience and where the need was clear. But the principles proved broader.
Supported self-care platform
Prevention, wellbeing, behaviour change, participation, multidisciplinary support.
The same factors that influence recovery from pain also influence wellbeing, lifestyle change, resilience and workplace participation.

A PRACTICAL EXPRESSION OF THE BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL MODEL
Health is shaped by more than one factor
Trigo brings together biological, psychological and social factors into one practical support model.
Biological
Movement, capacity, health behaviours and resilience.
Psychological
Understanding, confidence, motivation and self-efficacy.
Social
Support, communication, access and participation.
Outcome
Supported self-care for better everyday health and wellbeing.
OUR VISION
Supported self-care at scale
Frode’s ambition was never to create another healthcare app. The vision was to build a platform that helps organisations deliver supported self-care in a structured, human and measurable way.
Trigo combines digital engagement, practical self-management tools and access to professional support. The platform helps professionals extend their impact, not by replacing human expertise, but by helping more people take part in their own health.
Talk to the person behind the vision
Trigo is the result of Frode Skjelvan’s belief that healthcare, prevention and wellbeing can work better when people are supported to take part in their own health.
