BPS RESET™ is where your back pain recovery pathway begins.
RESET™ is not a short-term challenge or a random exercise plan. It is a structured recovery pathway inside The Body Systems App, designed to help calm the pain system, rebuild movement confidence and reduce relapse risk.
Back pain is rarely just about one painful body part.
Back pain often involves the nervous system, breath, movement habits, load tolerance, fear, fatigue, sleep, stress, strength, confidence and daily-life patterns. RESET™ treats back pain as a whole-system problem, not simply a local tissue problem.
The aim is not just to give you more exercises. The aim is to help your body understand safety, movement and load again — so you can begin to move with less fear, less guarding and more control.
Calm first
RESET™ begins by reducing threat, guarding and over-protection before asking the body to load more.
Rebuild confidence
You are guided through movement, breath and body awareness so your system can begin to trust movement again.
Reduce relapse risk
RESET™ helps you understand flare-ups, pacing, progression and daily-life triggers so you can respond with more clarity.
Not sure whether RESET™ is right for you?
Before starting BPS RESET™, it is important to understand whether a self-guided app pathway, coached support or medical review is most appropriate for you.
The BPS RAG Screening Tool helps people, coaches and practitioners think this through using a simple Red, Amber and Green framework. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace medical advice. It is there to support safer decision-making, clearer referral boundaries and better use of RESET™.
Green
May be suitable for a self-guided or lightly supported RESET™ pathway, provided symptoms are stable and no concerning features are present.
Amber
May benefit from extra guidance, coaching, pacing, adaptation or professional support before progressing independently.
Red
Should seek appropriate medical assessment before beginning or progressing a movement programme.
Two ways to begin RESET™.
RESET™ Solo and RESET™ Coaching are built from the same Back Pain Systems™ principles. The difference is the level of support, guidance and accountability around you.
RESET™ Solo
RESET™ Solo is the self-guided pathway inside The Body Systems App, within the Back Pain Systems™ system. It is organised around four app-based RESET™ phases that you work through independently and at your own pace.
- 4 app-based RESET™ phases
- Self-paced and independent
- Accessed through The Body Systems App
- Best for people who feel confident following the app structure
- Useful as a long-term support tool after coaching
RESET™ Coaching
RESET™ Coaching is the supported pathway through RESET™. It begins with a 12-week coaching block, where a trained RESET Coach™ helps you understand, apply and integrate the programme with more guidance and accountability.
- 6 coached teaching and progression phases
- Delivered as an initial 12-week supported block
- Guidance, accountability and structured progression
- Best for people who want reassurance and coaching
- Option to continue coaching or return to RESET™ Solo afterwards
RESET™ Coaching: six supported phases through the first 12 weeks.
RESET™ Solo follows the app-based RESET™ pathway. RESET™ Coaching expands this into a supported 12-week, six-stage teaching and progression journey. The aim is not to promise a complete cure in 12 weeks. The aim is to build the foundations for safer movement, fewer relapses and more confidence in daily life.
RESET the Pain
Calm the nervous system, reduce fear, settle flare-ups and begin creating a safer internal environment for movement.
REPAIR the Patterns
Identify and unwind protective movement habits, breath holding, postural guarding and compensatory strategies.
REBUILD the Chain
Reconnect the feet, hips, spine, ribs, breath and brain so your body can move as an integrated system again.
RESTORE Strength & Stability
Build adaptive control, load tolerance, balance, strength and confidence without forcing the body too soon.
RECALIBRATE Daily Life
Apply RESET™ principles to sitting, sleeping, working, walking, lifting, training and everyday movement.
RESILIENCE & Freedom
Consolidate progress, reduce relapse fear, build self-trust and learn how to respond when symptoms change.
It gives your body a sequence it can understand.
RESET™ helps you work with the systems that influence back pain: the nervous system, breath, movement patterns, strength, daily habits, fear, recovery and resilience.

What happens after the first 12 weeks?
Back pain recovery is not always linear. Some people feel ready to continue independently. Others benefit from another period of support. RESET™ is designed to meet you where you are — not force you through a fixed promise or deadline.
Continue with RESET™ Coaching
Stay supported for another coaching block if you need more guidance, accountability or progression.
Move into RESET™ Solo
Use The Body Systems App independently as a long-term self-management and relapse-prevention tool.
Progress into another BPS pathway

RESET™ is designed to help people feel safer, stronger and more confident in their body again.
This is not about pushing through pain. It is about understanding your body, calming the systems that are protecting you, and rebuilding movement confidence one structured step at a time.
Important: RESET™ is designed to support education, movement confidence and self-management. It is not a replacement for medical assessment. If you have new, worsening, unexplained or medically concerning symptoms, please seek appropriate medical advice before starting any movement programme.
Start with the route that matches your body, confidence and support needs.
