This program was so good for both my mind and my body! 

My back has definitely improved and my spirit is also starting to heal from some long term stresses. Thank you.

A FOUR-WEEK RESET FOR PERSISTENT BACK PAIN

BACK PAIN RESET

Four weeks to change your relationship with back pain, build confidence in your body, and get back to the things you love.

YES, I'M READY FOR BACK PAIN RESET
01 · IS THIS FOR ME?

If you're tired of organizing your life around your back.

If you've had persistent or recurring back pain, tried several approaches, and still don't feel like you've found the answer, this may be for you.

02 · CAN I TRUST KATHY?

26 years of working with back pain from corporate to private clients.

Kathy is a Viniyoga yoga therapist, Pain Reprocessing Practitioner, massage therapist, and transformational coach with extensive experience working with back pain in private practice and healthcare settings, including Kaiser Permanente.

03 · WHY THIS?

Science + movement + personalized support.

Back Pain Reset combines evidence based Pain Reprocessing Therapy, therapeutic Viniyoga, four private sessions, live group practice, and simple tools you can use in real life.

MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN SUFFERING FOR YEARS...

What if your back pain has been waiting for a different solution?

If you've been living with back pain for months or years, you know what it's like to be careful.

You may think twice before bending, lifting, exercising, traveling, gardening, playing with your kids, or doing the things you love.

You've probably tried something: stretching, strengthening, massage, PT, chiropractic, Pilates, medications, or simply waiting for it to go away.

And yet the pain keeps showing up.

There is another way to understand persistent pain.

Your nervous system may have learned to produce pain as a protective response. When you understand that process and begin changing your relationship with movement and sensation, the nervous system can learn something new.

"I'm really seeing changes so it's exciting. I feel the progress.  My back is better and I'm feeling stronger."  - Nancy H.   

WHY THIS APPROACH?

Two complementary approaches. One integrated experience.

Back Pain Reset brings together the science of Pain Reprocessing Therapy with the therapeutic movement and breath practices of Viniyoga.

PRT — Pain Reprocessing Therapy

PRT helps you understand how the brain and nervous system can contribute to persistent pain.

You'll learn to recognize pain as a protective alarm, reduce fear around sensations and movement, and develop a greater sense of safety in your body.

The pain is real. The exciting part is that the nervous system can learn something new.

Viniyoga

Viniyoga uses individualized movement, breath, awareness, and guided relaxation to help you develop a more supportive relationship with your body.

The goal isn't to perform yoga perfectly. It's to discover what helps your body feel capable, supported, and safe.

THE RESEARCH

The science behind the approach

In a randomized clinical trial of people with chronic primary back pain, Pain Reprocessing Therapy produced striking results.

66%
Pain-free or nearly pain-free after PRT
20%
Pain-free or nearly pain-free in the placebo group
10%
Pain-free or nearly pain-free with usual care

And the results lasted.

At the five-year follow-up, 55% of participants who received PRT were pain-free or nearly pain-free, compared with 26% in the placebo group and 36% receiving usual care.

The PRT group also reported significantly lower pain intensity five years later.

Kathy has studied PRT and Back Pain Reset is informed by this work. It is not the same intervention used in the clinical trial because Back Pain Reset also includes therapeutic yoga and group sessions. If you prefer a more intensive 1:1 format, scroll down to use the contact form to arrange that at your convenience.

NOT YOUR NORMAL YOGA CLASS

You don't need to be flexible.
You don't need any experience.

Kathy has taught back-pain cohorts for Kaiser Permanente, corporations, small groups, and private clients, including many people who had never done yoga before. Use the contact form at the bottom of the page if you have any questions about whether this program is right for you.

You won't be asked to push through pain, master advanced poses, or keep up with anyone else.

UNDERSTAND What's happening with pain
MOVE With greater confidence
REGULATE Your nervous system
PRACTICE Simple tools at home
TRUST Your body again
