If you've been watching the videos, you already know how we think about back pain. This is where that thinking becomes a sequence.

Individual videos answer individual questions. What they can't tell you is what to do first, what comes next, and when you're ready to progress. That's what this is: a structured rehabilitation programme for persistent lower back pain, sciatica and disc-related injury, built by Michael Fatica M.Ost from over twelve years of clinical practice.

The four phases

Phase One — technique and foundations. Phase Two — strength and confidence. Phase Three — robust strength and load tolerance. Phase Four — long-term resilience, and it doesn't end. Phase Four is where you stay: a permanent strength foundation with your case-specific work layered on top.

Relief work and education aren't a stage you pass through. They run alongside all four phases, there whenever you need them, including on the bad days.

You can see what's actually changing

Pain is a poor progress meter. It moves with sleep, stress and whatever you did on Tuesday, and it tells you very little about whether you're getting stronger. Capacity tells you far more, so we measure it.

  • Workout log — every session recorded, so progress is a record rather than a recollection.
  • Back Resilience Milestones — the strength markers that define each stage of recovery, tracked as you reach them.
  • Workout and history dashboards — weeks and months of training in a single view.
  • Body map — where your symptoms are, and how that changes over time.
  • Daily consistency tracking — because recovery is consistent daily work, not heroic effort.

Most programmes ask you to trust that something is happening. This one shows you.

What's included — $49 every 28 days

  • The complete four-phase clinical framework
  • Follow-along workouts
  • Core Relief and flare-up library
  • Education and troubleshooting library
  • The full tracking dashboard

Cancel at any time. No long-term contract.

If you want clinical oversight as well

Premium membership adds the private members' area, where our clinical team works with you directly:

  • Personal video form reviews — upload your exercises and have your technique checked
  • Clinical questions, answers and troubleshooting as you work through the phases
  • MRI and imaging reviews

Premium is $199 every 28 days and capacity is limited. You can move between the two at any time.

Who this is for

Adults with persistent or recurring lower back pain — disc bulges and herniations, sciatica, spinal stenosis, facet problems. Most of our members have already tried physiotherapy, generic core advice, chiropractic, sometimes surgery, and are still not right. You don't need to be fit to start.

Before you begin

If you have progressive weakness or numbness, any change in bladder or bowel control, numbness around the saddle area, unexplained weight loss, or a history of cancer, see a doctor before starting any programme, including this one. If you're pregnant, recently postpartum, or managing a significant medical condition, speak to your clinician first.

When you join

Immediate access to the full programme and the members' dashboard, and a welcome email with your login details. Start with the 18-minute clinical welcome tutorial, then Phase One and the relief work. There's something to do on day one.

A shining light during dark times

I was diagnosed with an L4-5 disc herniation during lockdown. Having talked through the options with a neurosurgeon I knew I wanted to avoid surgery. This program was the foundation to my recovery and changed my approach to strengthening / conditioning and pain management - removing bad habits that I picked up over the years. The resources, knowledge and guidance from Michael and Lara has been invaluable towards a healthier future - thank you! Take some responsibility and become a member, you won't regret it.

No words can describe the gratitude

This program has been more impactful than any other treatment I have partaken in, for my crippling degenerative disc disk disease. I cannot thank Michael and Laura enough!!

Helped Me Avoid Surgery

The Back in Shape programme is so needed and a brilliant resource for anyone in pain. I was almost ready for surgery before trying the programme as a last ditch attempt! It’s so helpful and the first few phases brought me so much relief from the pain.

Back to "nearly" normal

When I surched for help with an excruciatingly painful back, the only help offered was, operation, injections or endless painkillers. None of the alternatives appealed to me , so I looked on the internet and found the Back in Shape program. Over a period of three months I have learned to move and sleep in a way that has eased the pain considerably. The odd painkiller now is sufficient. I am 82 and was diagnosed with arthritis, spinal stenosis,and Parkinson's, all within a year. Devastating! However, I highly recommend this program. It works! I even persuaded my GP in Cheltenham to recommend the program to other patients, something she was very willing to do

Really Great Program for people with Back issues

If you have back issues... you should absolutely do this program, before any type of surgery. For me, healing yourself naturally is "the best" way to go & this program will facilitate that & you'll also learn a lot about maintaining and continuing your spinal recuperation/health. It's fantastic that this exists & I'm very thankful and grateful for what they do. Definitely try it & find out for yourself.
