Sound familiar?

Rest, stretch, wait. It keeps coming back.

Most people who come to me have already tried resting it, stretching it and waiting for it to settle.

1

You’re guarding every move

Bending, lifting and getting out of the car have become things you brace for.

2

It keeps flaring up

It settles for a while, then something small sets it off again.

3

You’re missing out

Walks, gardening, the gym, playing with the kids: life has shrunk around your back.

How it works

A clear path back to your life

From where you are now to where you want to be — all of it online.

01

Free 30-minute call

A video call. We talk about what’s going on, what you’ve tried and what you want to get back to. I’ll tell you straight whether I can help.

02

Your assessment

We dig into your pain, your goals and how you move, and build a roadmap around the life you want back.

03

Coaching that builds you up

A progressive programme in your own app, with regular check-ins and support, so you keep moving forward instead of waiting for the next flare-up.

How Back To Life is different

Your plan doesn't wait for your next appointment.

Usually you're assessed, given a programme, then left to get on with it until the next appointment. If your week goes sideways, nobody knows until you're back in the room. Here, I see how you're getting on between sessions and change your plan as you go.

1

You log it

Each session goes into your app, with how hard it felt and how your back responded.

2

I read it

If you wear a smartwatch, I can also look at your steps, sleep and resting heart rate. No watch? Your weekly check-in does the same job.

3

Your plan changes

A bad night, a busy week or a flare-up? I adjust how hard you work and what you do there and then, not weeks later.

What coaching includes

Your programme in your own app, with ongoing assessments · Weekly check-ins built around your data · Message support between sessions · A flare-up action plan · A flare-up support call if you need one · Bonus: lifetime access to my Back Pain Course

£297 a month, rolling. Cancel any time.

The Back To Life Promise: stay with it for 12 weeks and follow your plan. If the three activities we score together haven't improved, I'll keep coaching you free until they do. Conditions apply, see the terms.

I take on 5 new clients a month so everyone gets this level of attention. Everyone's back is different, so results vary.

What clients say

Real people. Real backs.

“

I recently had a bad back and had to have an ambulance out due to being locked. After that one session with Ross I was truly speechless at the fact he had me squatting, bending over, kneeling, rolling and sitting without pain.

I don’t think I have ever met someone who is so passionate about his job and also really knowledgeable and motivating to help you get through it. Definitely a number one choice if you are fed up with back pain and wanna get things sorted.

— Zuzka P.

Ross is highly knowledgeable, dedicated and professional. He truly cares about his clients… if you take action based on what Ross teaches, you will see results and vast improvements far quicker than you thought possible.

— Troy D.
“

So far the course content and support is second to none. I would highly recommend anyone with back pain issues to seek his advice.

— Lee W.

Recommendations left for Ross on Facebook. Individual experiences — what any one person gets out of coaching depends on their situation, and nothing here is a promise of the same result.
