Because back pain is never just one thing.
Back Pain Systems™ gives you connected pathways to understand, support and rebuild your body — beginning with RESET™, the foundation pathway for calming flare-ups, rebuilding confidence and reducing relapse risk.
“Before pain, there was possibility. You didn’t worry about how to sit, stand or sleep. You just were. This app exists to help you get some of that space, peace and freedom back.” Dr Jo Abbott
A clinical, practical and whole-system approach to back pain.
Created by clinical expert Dr Jo Abbott, Back Pain Systems™ translates modern pain science, biomechanics, functional recovery and lived clinical experience into simple steps people can actually use.
The system was built because persistent and recurring back pain often involves more than muscles, joints or posture alone. It can include fear, flare-up cycles, movement habits, sleep, stress, strength, nutrition, recovery capacity and the confidence to trust your body again.
SYSTEMS™
It gives people a structured system, not random exercises.
Back Pain Systems™ helps people understand what may be contributing to their pain and gives them a clearer, calmer route forward. The app brings together education, movement, recovery strategy and whole-body support so people are not left guessing what to do next.
- Research-led thinking translated into accessible recovery steps.
- Pain-informed movement designed to reduce fear and guarding.
- Whole-system support across movement, lifestyle, food, therapy and drivers.
- A relapse prevention focus so people can recognise patterns earlier.
Because people need support beyond the clinic room.
I created Back Pain Systems™ to help people access structured, science-led back pain support wherever they are. The aim is to make recovery feel less confusing, less frightening and less dependent on isolated appointments.
- Reduce fear around pain and movement.
- Build confidence in the body again.
- Support consistency between appointments or after treatment.
- Make back pain education and recovery tools more accessible.
Choose how you want to use RESET™.
RESET™ is the foundation pathway inside Back Pain Systems™. There are two patient routes: you can use RESET™ independently inside the app, or you can choose RESET™ Coaching if you want human support alongside the app.
RESET™ Solo
For people with back pain who want to work independently through the Back Pain Systems™ App and follow the RESET™ pathway at their own pace.
- Self-directed app access
- Ideal if you feel confident working independently
- Work through RESET™ in your own time
- Supports long-term self-management and relapse prevention
RESET™ Coaching
For people with back pain who want support applying the RESET™ pathway. You still use the Back Pain Systems™ App, but you are guided through the first structured 12-week coaching block with support from a RESET Coach™.
- Six coached teaching and progression phases
- Support with app set-up, pacing and confidence
- Help applying RESET™ to your body and daily life
- Designed to reduce fear, flare-up cycles and stop-start recovery patterns
Become a RESET Coach™
For professionals who want to support people through the RESET™ Coaching pathway. RESET Coaches™ require specific training so they can support the programme safely, consistently and within their professional scope.
- Learn how to support clients through RESET™ Coaching
- Understand the six-phase coaching structure
- Support app use, pacing, progression and confidence
- Work within the Back Pain Systems™ framework
Important distinction
Find a RESET Coach™ is not a separate recovery pathway. It is how people choosing RESET™ Coaching can access support from a trained professional where available. RESET™ Solo is self-guided. RESET™ Coaching is supported. Become a RESET Coach™ is the professional training route.
Solo or supported — choose the route that fits your recovery.
Some people feel ready to follow RESET™ independently through the app. Others need more support, reassurance and progression as they rebuild confidence. Both routes belong inside the Back Pain Systems™ ecosystem — they simply offer different levels of support.
Four related routes. Different purposes.
RESET™ is the pathway. Solo RESET™ is the self-directed app route. RESET™ Coaching is the supported 12-week route. RESET Coaches™ support people through the process. Professionals train separately if they want to become coaches.
In simple terms: patients either use RESET™ solo or with coaching. Professionals train separately if they want to become RESET Coaches™.
Solo RESET™
For people using RESET™ independently inside the app. This is the self-driven patient route.
RESET™ Coaching
For people who want reassurance, accountability and progression through the 12-week coached RESET™ block.
Find a RESET Coach™
For people who want direct support from a trained RESET Coach™, face-to-face where available or digitally where appropriate.
Become a RESET Coach™
For professionals who want specific training to support people through RESET™ safely, clearly and within their scope.
Want to support people through RESET™?
RESET™ Coaching is not the same as simply recommending the app. Professionals who want to support people through the coached RESET™ route need specific training so they can understand the structure, language, progression and clinical reasoning behind the system.
Become a RESET Coach™
For clinicians, therapists and movement professionals who want to learn how to support people through RESET™ safely, clearly and within their professional scope.

- Support pacing, reassurance, progression and confidence.
- Learn how to work within your professional scope.
- Help people use the app with clearer human support.
