Help people move through back pain with structure, confidence and support.
RESET™ Coaching is the practitioner pathway for clinicians, therapists, coaches and movement professionals who want to support people through the 12-week Back Pain Systems RESET™ Coaching journey.
RESET™ Coaching is not just giving someone exercises.
It is a structured coaching process that helps people understand their back pain, reduce fear, rebuild confidence, and progress safely through a personalised back pain journey.
As a RESET™ Coach, your role is to guide the person through the coached version of BPS RESET™ — helping them apply the education, movement, reflection and progression tools in a way that matches their body, confidence and real life.
The aim is simple.
To help more people access intelligent, supportive and progressive back pain care — without leaving them alone with a generic programme, a list of exercises, or the message that they should simply “manage” their pain.
RESET™ Coaching gives practitioners a framework to support the person, not just the painful body part.
Many people with back pain do not need more noise. They need a better system.
Back pain support is often fragmented. People are told to exercise, rest, strengthen, stretch, relax, scan, accept, avoid, push through, or stop worrying — often without a clear process to follow.
People feel confused
They often receive conflicting messages about what is safe, what is dangerous, what pain means, and whether they should move or protect.
Fear changes behaviour
Pain can narrow someone’s movement choices, reduce confidence, and make normal life feel risky or unpredictable.
Support changes outcomes
A structured coach can help the person stay consistent, understand their body, and progress without overwhelm.
BPS RESET™ now has two clear pathways.
RESET™ Solo
The self-guided digital pathway.
RESET™ Coaching
The supported 12-week coached pathway.
Four-phase self-guided journey
The person works independently through the digital RESET™ content, using the education, movement and reflection tools in their own time.
Six-phase coached progression
The person is guided through the coached RESET™ pathway with structure, accountability, adaptation and professional support.
Best for independent users
Suitable for people who feel confident applying the programme without additional practitioner guidance.
Best for supported change
Suitable for people who need reassurance, pacing, accountability, confidence-building and help adapting the pathway.
RESET™ Coaching is for practitioners who want to guide, not just prescribe.
Clinicians
Physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, sports therapists and other clinicians who support people with back pain.
Movement professionals
Yoga teachers, Pilates teachers, strength coaches and movement educators who want a structured back pain support system.
Health coaches
Coaches working with lifestyle, confidence, behaviour change and long-term support who want a clearer back pain pathway.
A RESET™ Coach helps the person apply the system to real life.
The coach is not there to overwhelm the person with more information. They are there to help them understand the process, stay engaged, adapt appropriately and progress with confidence.
A RESET™ Coach supports:
- Education and understanding around back pain.
- Confidence-building and fear reduction.
- Movement exploration and graded progression.
- Reflection, accountability and behaviour change.
- Personalising RESET™ to the individual’s starting point.
- Supporting the person through flare-ups, uncertainty and setbacks.
The RESET™ Coach pathway trains you to deliver the coached RESET™ process.
The RESET™ framework
Understand the Back Pain Systems RESET™ model and how the solo and coached pathways fit together.
The six-phase progression
Learn how to guide people through the 12-week coached RESET™ journey with clarity and structure.
Coaching conversations
Support people through fear, frustration, inconsistency, flare-ups and uncertainty without over-medicalising.
Movement adaptation
Help each person find their safest and most realistic starting point, then progress from there.
RESET™ Coaching can support people face-to-face or digitally.
The most appropriate delivery method depends on the practitioner, the client, the setting and the level of support required.
Face-to-face RESET™ Coaching
Practitioners may deliver RESET™ Coaching in clinic, studio or practice settings where in-person support is available.
- Useful for observation and direct movement support.
- Helpful for clients who need more confidence and reassurance.
- Allows the practitioner to integrate clinical reasoning and practical guidance.
Digital RESET™ Coaching
Practitioners may also support clients through video calls, especially where distance or access makes face-to-face support difficult.
- Useful for education, accountability and guided progression.
- Allows clients to access support from home.
- Best suited where remote support is safe and appropriate.
The 12-week RESET™ Coaching journey is structured around six phases.
Each phase helps the client understand, stabilise, practise, progress and integrate what they are learning into real life.
Orientate
Help the person understand where they are starting from and why their back pain journey needs a system.
Settle
Reduce overwhelm, calm the process, and help the person find safe entry points into movement and reflection.
Reconnect
Support reconnection with the body, breath, attention, movement confidence and personal agency.
Progress
Gradually build capacity, confidence and movement choice without forcing the body beyond readiness.
Integrate
Help the person take the work beyond sessions and into daily life, habits, decisions and self-management.
Continue
Support long-term confidence, relapse planning and ongoing movement health beyond the 12-week pathway.
