Find a RESET Coach™

Find support for your BPS RESET™ pathway.

BPS RESET™ can be followed as a self-guided pathway inside The Body Systems App, or with the support of a trained RESET Coach™ through the 12-week RESET™ Coaching pathway.

What is a RESET Coach™?

A RESET Coach™ supports the pathway, the pace and the person.

A RESET Coach™ is trained, mentored or approved to support people through the BPS RESET™ pathway using the Back Pain Systems™ framework. They do not simply hand out exercises. They help people understand the sequence, apply the principles and adapt the process to real-life back pain patterns.


RESET Coaches™ may come from different professional backgrounds, including clinical practice, coaching, movement, rehabilitation or health support. Each coach works within their own qualifications, insurance, professional scope and local regulatory requirements.

1

Guidance

Helps you understand what to do, when to progress, and how to respond when symptoms change.

2

Reassurance

Supports confidence when fear, flare-ups, guarding or uncertainty make independent work difficult.

3

Progression

Helps you build capacity steadily so you are not rushing the body before it is ready.

Before choosing support

Not sure whether you need a RESET Coach™?


The BPS RAG Screening Tool helps people, coaches and practitioners decide whether RESET™ Solo, RESET™ Coaching or medical review is the most appropriate next step.


It is not a diagnosis and does not replace medical advice. It is a practical fit and safety framework designed to support clearer decision-making, safer referral boundaries and better use of the RESET™ pathway.

Green

May be suitable for RESET™ Solo or light-touch support where symptoms are stable and no concerning features are present.

Amber

May benefit from RESET™ Coaching, extra guidance, pacing, adaptation or professional support.

Red

Should seek appropriate medical assessment before beginning or progressing a movement programme.

Choose the right level of support

For coaches and practitioners

Finding a coach and becoming a coach are different pathways.

This page is for people looking for support through BPS RESET™. If you are a coach, clinician, therapist or practitioner interested in supporting people through the RESET™ pathway, you will need to follow the RESET Coach™ Practitioner Pathway.


Trained RESET Coaches™ help people move through the supported 12-week RESET™ Coaching pathway using the Back Pain Systems™ framework, the RAG screening approach and appropriate professional boundaries.

Read the framework

Understand the thinking behind Back Pain Systems™.

The Back Pain Systems™ White Paper explains the systems-led reasoning behind RESET™, the wider Back Pain Systems™ pathway, and why back pain support needs to move beyond isolated exercises, isolated tissues and short-term symptom chasing.

!

Important: RESET Coaches™ support education, movement confidence and self-management within their own professional scope, qualifications and local regulatory requirements. RESET™ is not a replacement for medical assessment. If you have new, worsening, unexplained or medically concerning symptoms, please seek appropriate medical advice before starting or progressing a movement programme.
