A systems-led way to understand, support and rebuild your back.
Back Pain Systems™ is the first live System inside The Body Systems™ App. One subscription gives you the whole System: the BPS RESET™ recovery pathway today, and every new pillar as it is finished.
Built by clinical biomechanist Dr Jo Abbott, PhD, on more than 20 years of clinical and research work.
Back pain is rarely one thing. So the support should not be one thing either.
Back Pain Systems™ helps you look beyond a single painful structure, exercise, posture or treatment. It gives you a connected way to explore the systems that may influence pain, flare-ups, confidence, movement and recovery.
See the whole system
Understand back pain through a whole-person, systems-led lens.
Start where you are
Begin with the route that fits your needs now, rather than one pathway forced on everyone.
Move as you change
Move between pillars as your capacity, confidence and goals change.
One System. Ten connected pillars.
Each pillar stands on its own and connects to the rest. When a pillar is finished it appears in your app, at no extra cost to members.
BPS RESET™
The foundation pathway, and where most people begin. A structured route for calming flare-ups, rebuilding confidence and reducing relapse risk.
BPS YOGA™
Movement, breath and body awareness practices for calmer physical confidence.
BPS THERAPY™
Understanding therapy options, hands-on care, self-care and when support may be useful.
BPS SUPPS™
Supportive education around supplements, recovery context and informed decision-making.
BPS LEARN™
Short learning resources on pain, movement, recovery and whole-person systems.
BPS DRIVERS™
The wider contributors that may keep back pain active, reactive or recurring.
BPS FOOD™
Food, recovery and whole-person support, beyond symptoms alone.
BPS LIVES™
Real-life context, stories and lived experience, so you feel less alone in the process.
BPS SPACE™
Environmental and lifestyle factors that influence how the body settles, moves and recovers.
BPS MOVE™
Movement support for building capacity, confidence and practical trust in your body again.
Start with BPS RESET™ when pain, flare-ups or fear are leading the story.
BPS RESET™ is the foundation of Back Pain Systems™. It helps you calm flare-ups, rebuild confidence, understand relapse patterns and move towards a more stable relationship with your body.
For people stuck in repeated flare-ups or symptom cycles
For people who want a calmer, more structured route back into movement
For people who want to understand the wider drivers of their back pain
Back pain is rarely just one thing.
Calm the flare-up. Rebuild confidence. Move, breathe, eat and live in ways that support the whole system, one pillar at a time.
Three ways to begin, one System.
Every route gives you the whole of Back Pain Systems™ in the app. The difference is how much of Dr Jo you want alongside you.

A web app, by choice.
Dr Jo deliberately built The Body Systems™ App as a web app (PWA), not an App Store or Google Play app. It looks and works like any other app, sits on your home screen and opens with one tap.
Instant updates: new content the day it is finished, with no app-store approval wait
Full health education, without app-store content restrictions
More privacy: fewer trackers and far less data harvesting
Works on any phone, tablet or computer, including older phones
