Support for your back pain journey — with the right level of guidance.

Back Pain Systems RESET™ can be followed as a self-guided digital pathway, or with the support of a trained RESET™ Coach through the 12-week RESET™ Coaching pathway.

Why a RESET™ Coach?

Sometimes you need more than information.

RESET™ is designed to help people understand their back pain, reduce fear, build confidence, and begin moving again in a way that feels safe, progressive and personalised.

For some people, the self-guided digital pathway is enough. For others, having a trained coach alongside them helps them stay consistent, adapt the work to their body, and feel supported when symptoms, fear or uncertainty get in the way.

RESET™ is not just exercise.

It is a structured back pain support system that combines education, movement, reflection, confidence-building and progressive re-engagement with life.

A RESET™ Coach helps guide that process — not by forcing the body, but by helping the person understand where they are starting from and how to progress safely.

The two RESET™ pathways

Choose the pathway that matches the support you need.

Pathway One
1

RESET™ Solo

The self-guided digital pathway for people who want to work through RESET™ independently, at their own pace.

  • Access the RESET™ digital content directly.
  • Follow the four-phase self-guided journey.
  • Use education, movement and reflection tools in your own time.
  • Ideal for people who feel confident working independently.
Pathway Two
2

RESET™ Coaching

The supported 12-week RESET™ Coaching pathway for people who want guidance, accountability and personalised progression with a trained RESET™ Coach.

  • Work through the six-phase coached RESET™ progression.
  • Receive support from a trained RESET™ Coach.
  • Adapt the process to your symptoms, confidence and starting point.
  • Ideal for people who want more personal support and structure.
How support works

A RESET™ Coach can support you in two ways.

The best option depends on where you live, what support is available, and what feels most appropriate for your body, your confidence and your circumstances.

Face-to-face RESET™ Coaching

Where available, a RESET™ Coach may be able to support you in person. This can be helpful if you want more direct observation, movement support and practical guidance.

  • Useful for people who prefer in-person support.
  • Allows the coach to observe movement and confidence more directly.
  • May be suitable when symptoms feel complex or confidence is low.
  • Availability depends on coach location and clinical setting.

Digital RESET™ Coaching by video call

A RESET™ Coach may also be able to support you digitally by video call. This is not always the same as face-to-face care, but it can be a valuable way to receive guidance, reassurance and accountability.

  • Useful if there is no coach near you.
  • Can support education, progression and confidence-building.
  • Helps you stay accountable during the 12-week pathway.
  • Best suited to people who can safely engage with guided movement remotely.
Important: digital coaching is not a replacement for urgent medical care, diagnosis or hands-on clinical examination where those are needed. If symptoms are severe, worsening, unexplained, or associated with red flags, please seek appropriate medical advice.
Who this is for

RESET™ Coaching may be right for you if...

1

You feel stuck

You have tried exercises, treatments or advice before, but you still feel unsure what to do when your back pain changes or flares.

2

You want confidence

You want to understand your body better, reduce fear around movement, and rebuild trust in what your back can do.

3

You need support

You know you are more likely to stay consistent when someone helps you progress, reflect and adapt the work to real life.

RESET™ Coaching is especially useful for people who do not just want a list of exercises — they want a supported process that helps them understand, practise, reflect and progress.

Questions

Common questions about finding a RESET™ Coach

Do I need a RESET™ Coach to use BPS RESET™?

No. BPS RESET™ can be used as a self-guided digital pathway through RESET™ Solo. However, some people prefer or need more support, which is where RESET™ Coaching may be helpful.

What is the difference between RESET™ Solo and RESET™ Coaching?

RESET™ Solo is the self-guided digital pathway. RESET™ Coaching is the supported 12-week coached pathway, guided by a trained RESET™ Coach through a more structured six-phase progression.

Can a RESET™ Coach support me online?

In some cases, yes. Digital support by video call may be suitable for education, confidence-building, accountability and guided progression. It is not always a substitute for face-to-face clinical assessment where that is needed.

Can I see a RESET™ Coach face-to-face?

This depends on coach availability and location. As the RESET™ Coach network develops, more face-to-face options may become available.

What if I am not sure which pathway is right for me?

Start by learning about RESET™ Coaching and BPS RESET™. If you are unsure, you can contact Dr Jo Abbott’s team for guidance on whether solo, coached, digital or face-to-face support is the most appropriate next step.

Take the next step

Find the right level of RESET™ support for your back pain journey.

Whether you begin independently with RESET™ Solo or choose the supported 12-week RESET™ Coaching pathway, the aim is the same: helping you move from fear, confusion and flare-ups towards confidence, understanding and better movement choices.
