BackUnbroken Reviews 

I found myself in a bad way after going from physio to physio, to specialist, multiple MRIs with everyone telling me I shouldn't have the pain I was experiencing. The frustrating thing for me is I'm a PT myself, so I understood the body and mechanics and had read about the brain-pain connection but didn't realise I was now living it. I started with the free trial, and realised very quickly this program was different. The indepth nature at the start focusing on the physiology of pain and understanding it at a deeper level was awesome. From there the progressions were clear. The team were highly responsive to any questions I had and I felt supported the whole time. If you are going around in circles and living with chronic pain then I highly recommend this program.

This program saved my back and sanity! I combined it with mobility and reading The Way Out and after 5 months I was virtually pain free. This is after having back and hip pain for almost 10 years. Sometimes my neuroplastic pain comes back, but using the practices I learned in Back Unbroken, I am able to calm the pain down quickly.

I can’t recommend BackUnbroken enough. After dealing with chronic low back pain for years, I had become afraid of certain movements and was constantly changing how I moved or avoiding things altogether to protect my back.

What made BackUnbroken different was the combination of physically retraining and strengthening my back while also addressing the brain and nervous system side of chronic pain. I didn’t just need to get stronger, I needed to teach my body that movement was safe again.

Over time, I stopped guarding my back, stopped fearing certain movements, and started trusting my body again. Today my back feels stronger than it ever has. I’m back to playing basketball, golfing, lifting, and doing everyday activities pain free without constantly thinking about what might hurt my back.

BackUnbroken helped me become stronger and more resilient physically, while also giving me the confidence to move freely again. That combination has been a game changer for me.

Life Changing

I started doing this program in July 2025. I unsubscribed in December of 2025 but have continued to do all the exercises and techniques taught in the course. Before this program, I had been dealing with lower back pain for about 3 years on a daily basis resulting from a mild disc herniation. I had seen 4 separate doctors and physical therapist who had all recommended different things including back surgery. As a 24 year old I was very concerned this would turn into a life sentence of pain. I happened to find this program on Instagram and figured I would give it a try.

It took me about 2-3 months to start more consistently seeing results and being able to get into a workout routine. Beyond the actual physical exercises, this program was a huge mental motivator. Prior to this, I would stop working out anytime I felt back pain thinking it would hurt me further. However, thanks to this program I learned that back pain doesn’t necessarily correlate to injury. My flare ups have reduced dramatically and the daily pain is mostly gone or at least to the point where I don’t notice it at all. I used to flare up at least every other week. Now its more like every other month. A year later I am able to workout, play basketball, swim, and run without needing to consistently worry about hurting myself.

I strongly recommend this program to anyone who has dealt with chronic back pain. The results may not come immediately but sticking to the exercises will surely yield results. Additionally, as mentioned before, the mental aspect of chronic pain is understated in medicine today. I’m really grateful to Nate and the team for their help and support and their words of encouragement throughout the program!

The program is extremely helpful and informative. I love that I could learn everything about chronic pain and understand what can I do to get better after my back injury. After finishing the program I was able to be back to the gym and workout without pain during or after the training. I also noticed the reasons why the pain would come back every now and then, and realised that most of the time is overworking, lack of sleep or too much too soon. Now I treat the pain as a reminder to slow down and make sure I rest well and prioritise recovery, rather than something scary and worrying. It helps lot. Thank you Nate

This is the best pain-science education I've found in years of searching!

Dr. Nate does an incredible job of laying out all of the information super clearly, summarizing all the latest research in pain science.

Recent developments in understanding of "neuroplastic pain" / mindbody symptoms are missing from so much of the modern conversations around pain, but Dr. Nate incorporates those aspects alongside the physical aspects very well.

He empowers you to move your body again and even to develop your own movements that help bridge the gap towards whatever movements or sports you've felt limited in and want to get back to.

It's truly an empowering course and one I recommend to everyone I encounter who is dealing with chronic pain.

After struggling with chronic lower back pain for more than 1.5 years, I had almost accepted that this was something I would have to live with.

My diagnosis was L5-S1 disc degeneration with reduced core stability and weakness in my glutes. Every morning I woke up with pain and stiffness. Simple things like putting on my socks or shoes became a challenge, and I had developed countless workarounds. I had stopped running, reduced my strength training, and even everyday movements like bending over or gardening made me think twice.

Before finding Back Unbroken, I tried physiotherapy, spinal manipulation, home exercise programmes, and yoga. Some of these helped temporarily, but the pain always came back. More importantly, I gradually lost confidence in my body.

I have now finished the Back Unbroken programme, and the difference has been remarkable.

The biggest change isn't just that my pain has decreased, although it definitely has. The biggest change is my understanding of pain and my confidence in movement. Learning that pain doesn't necessarily equal damage completely changed my mindset. Instead of protecting my back all day, I'm learning to trust it again.

The improvements in daily life have been huge. I can put on my socks without pain again, bend down to pick things up, work in the garden, and there are now long stretches of the afternoon where I don't even think about my back anymore. That may sound small, but after living with constant pain awareness, it feels life-changing.

What I appreciate most is that this programme doesn't just hand you exercises. It teaches you why you're doing them and helps you rebuild confidence step by step.

I know I still have work to do, but for the first time in a long time, I genuinely believe that a pain-free, active life is possible again. For me, that hope alone has been incredibly valuable.

The mental and educational side of the program was a game-changer for me. Understanding the connection between stress and physical pain shifted something in my brain. I stopped seeing pain as this scary, mysterious enemy and started seeing it as something I could actually understand and work with. That shift alone changed everything.

Physically, my back has improved more than I expected. But honestly, the bigger win has been mentally — my stress levels are lower, I feel more in control, and I approach discomfort (physical or otherwise) with so much more calm than before.

If you’re on the fence, know this: this program works on your body and your mind, and that combination is what actually creates lasting change. Grateful I found it.

I can honestly say BackUnbroken has changed my life.
For years, daily back spasms impacted my quality of life and left me constantly worried about making my back worse. I avoided movements, second-guessed my activities, and relied on pain medication just to get through the day.
What I loved most about this program was the science-based approach. Dr. Nate explains pain in a way that finally makes sense and helped me understand what was really happening in my body. Learning about the nervous system and chronic pain completely changed how I viewed my condition.
As I worked through the program, my fear gradually disappeared. I stopped seeing my back as something fragile and started trusting my body again. The gradual progressions were effective and helped me confirm in my own mind that I was ok.
Today, I no longer take daily medication for pain, my spasms have significantly improved, and I'm back at the gym lifting weights again. More than anything, BackUnbroken gave me my confidence back.
If you're struggling with chronic back pain and looking for a program that combines practical tools with a solid scientific foundation, I can't recommend BackUnbroken highly enough.

You saved me, thank you! Ive been in pain for over 3 years and had tried everything, Chiropractor, physio, massage etc but this programme was the only thing that worked. I can't thank you enough. Although im not 100% pain free im now able to manage flare ups and my day to day better. It all makes sense, and im now even thinking about training in Neuro plasticity myself!! Highly recommend this course, it's life changing!!

I was scrolling instagram and it got my attention! I signed up for the trial. It made so much sense to me, so I did the program w/an open mind and determination!
I learned so much knowledge about neuroscience/neuroplasticity and now had the tools for my transformation. The missing link for me was a stuck nervous system that needed to learn safety. Fear and avoidance cycles do not surround me anymore. I was one who tried every kind of therapy, med, acupuncture, and more over the last 10 yrs including surgeries and out of state specialist for chronic sciatic pain. It always came back to pain. So frustrating for me and my doctors.
It took yrs of my life and wondering if I'd ever live freely again! This program takes time, repetition and discipline but I hope that it can help free a lot more people!
It took me many mths, but I got my SCS removed recently and I'm off all pain/nerve medication. I'm living healed w Gods strength and transforming my thinking and softening my nervous system was key! It's how God created our minds and bodies to align!
I still have a little residual sitting pain but it doesn't have me! I started the program Feb 22 and I'm still in process of healing but everyone that knew me before says I'm a different person now! It's been incredible and I can't thank yall enough! I'm still believing for a pain free report coming your way soon! Give this program a chance, it can help you I promise!

Nate has a unique way of scaffolding movements to everyone's current strength and tissue tolerance. The program itself is comprehensive and life-changing.

The back unbroken program helped me so much more then I anticipated and I'm really glad to have found it. I'm 36 and I re-injured my lower back last September after having 6 good years without pain. L4L5 herniated disc, sever spinal canal stenosis and severe bilateral neural foraminal, tons of extreme nerve pain and low quality of life. I checked out the 5-day free trial with skepticism but was willing to try anything at that point. After the first day I was still skeptical how this was going to make any real changes for my situation but I saw it through. I watched the educational videos and did the movement videos which were near impossible for me at first but continued each day. The nervous system regulation work is so incredibly helpful. The other side of this program is the community aspect. The website you use daily has a community board to post on and I found that helpful being able to connect with others going through a hard time due to chronic pain. The ability to communicate directly with Dr. Nate is also very helpful. I highly suggest checking this program out. I was looking for any way I could to avoid surgery and this program is one of the reasons why I haven't been on the operating table. Thanks Dr. Nate.

Slipped 2 discs at work over a year ago. Physio, AT, Chiro, nothing helped. Everyday I was waking up, not knowing what to expect. I found this program through an instagram ad and decided to take a chance. Best money I’ve ever spent. Changes the way you look at your pain and helps eliminate the fear. Once that was gone, I found I was on a steady incline and got noticeably better every week. It’s not a magic pill, you need to put in the work, but you’ll be happy you did. I’m not 100% fixed, but I’m definitely on the right path. Nate was also great to deal with, very kind.

Felt like a big missing piece in my pain journey, Nate and the program genuinely felt like they cared about helping me get out of chronic pain cycles and the neurological/nervous system education was super helpful.

Some of the best progress i've had after 2yrs of back pain and sciatica.

Max.

I found this program very useful as it gave a different perspective to what all the consultants have said to me. It was much needed as the program has got me much closer to where I need to be. I'm so grateful for this.

Just make sure if you buy the program you stick with it and follow it properly so you get the results.

I was experiencing lower back pain for months before I enrolled in the programm The pain kept me out of the gym, from playing sports and I was constantly uncomfortable doing simple tasks throughout the day. initially, I was skeptical, but I quickly learned after committing to the program that this was different from any treatment I had tried before to help ease the pain. I learned about topics that are extremely important to understand if you've dealt with back pain or any injury beforem After listening to Nate, staying true to the program and doing each and every step, I'm back in the gym, playing sports and am able to get out of bed without pain. I would highly recommend this program to anyone dealing with back painm It truly helped me get out of pain and to understand how to deal with future injuries/pain I may encounter in life. you can't put a value on what you can get out of this program if you stick with it. thank you Nate

Back Unbroken flat-out works.
I downloaded this app at a time when I truly needed help, and I can honestly say it changed my life. The program is not only practical, it is deeply educational. It helped me understand my back, work through the mental blocks around pain, and gradually rebuild strength and trust in my body.
I stayed consistent with the program, and the results speak for themselves. I just got back from a 9-day turkey hunt in the Rockies with my brother — sleeping and camping on the ground, hiking dozens of miles a day, and carrying a heavy pack through rough country. A while ago, that would have felt impossible. Now my back feels stronger than it has ever been.
Back Unbroken helped me get out of pain and back into my life. I cannot recommend it enough.

BackUnbroken saved my life. Doctors told me I was never going to play again. Never going to lift again. To find something else and move on. I lost my spot on the national team, was replaced on my club team, I lost 5 years worth of muscle gains, had to go to class everyday and learn about a sports science degree and the benefits of exercise while not being able to do ANY. My friends and peers are all athletes and every conversation about sport and lifting I was not a part of. I lost multiple relationships during this timeframe. I saw myself change in the mirror to something I did not recognize. I was at the END of my rope. One day I HAD enough and fortunately I found BackUnbroken just in time. Nate and Trey guided me through their program, and were super supportive and were there every step of the way. Within months I was lifting again. A few more and I was playing again. Now I’m back to full strength and full force and my confidence is growing day by day. Thank you Nate and Trey. You guys saved my life. I implore you to purchase this program if it means as much to you as it did for me. Best purchase of my life. There is more than hope guys! There is a way!

I’ve tried literally everything for my low back problems of 20 years. I’ve made progress but could never get over the hump.
The Back Unbroken program made perfect sense to me - with no structural issues and intense therapy for the last two years, I knew I and my doctors were missing something.
Neuroplastic pain was the answer just reading the explanation given in the program made me feel a little better. After 30 days I ended my daily 30 minute routine to get ready for the day -because as mentioned in the program I didn’t want to reinforce my brain thinking it was necessary. Now I do a 5 minute routine on stressful days and get on with my day. It’s feeling better everyday!
