BackUnbroken (backunbroken.com) has a 5.0 out of 5 rating on OK.one, based on 60 user reviews collected here. It is listed under Health & Medical and its reputation is excellent. Praise is nearly unanimous, with 100% rating it 4 stars or higher; 59 of them were added in the last 12 months. Last updated 2026-08-10.
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.

BackUnbroken....back at the Gym & back in control
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.

life changing course
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!

Check this out if you have back pain
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.

Best progress i've had after 2yrs of back pain and sciatica.
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.

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.
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
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!

The missing link
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!

I’m so glad I found Back Unbroken
I’m so glad I found Back Unbroken! I started having lower back pain about six months ago after injuring it at the gym, and it just wouldn’t heal. At 24 years old, I’ve always recovered quickly, so dealing with pain that lingered this long felt really unusual and frustrating.
Back Unbroken has been incredibly helpful in getting me out of pain. It not only helped me shift my mindset around my recovery, but also gave me practical guidance and exercises to support my healing.
I’m not back to 100% just yet, but I feel so much better than I did even a month ago. I’m really grateful I found this app—Nate and Trey have also been super helpful and responsive whenever I’ve had questions or concerns.

So amazing to see recoveries like this. Excited to see you finish your recovery back to 100%! Thanks for sharing
Give the free trial a chance!
If you’re like me, back pain is the first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing you think about before going to bed. It had completely taken over my life.
For about 8 months, I dealt with constant back pain and acute flare-ups that could knock me out for days. It started as a small nag while riding my bike, but soon I couldn’t ride, couldn’t work out, and even sitting became painful.
Since I herniated a disc in 2018, I thought this was a structural problem that would never go away. I tried rest, multiple physiotherapists, and a few back pain “guru” programs - but nothing helped, and things only got worse.
After seeing Nate’s ad on Instagram, I figured I had nothing to lose and gave it a shot. Within days the pain drastically reduced. A month into the program, I have virtually no pain in daily life. I’m still rebuilding confidence for athletic movement and bike ranges of motion, but I know the pain will fully fade with a little more time.
Be open to the idea that pain might just be a misfiring of signals. Once that clicks, it’s easier to trust that your body isn’t actually in danger when you feel those sensations.
I can’t recommend this program enough - it could be the fix so many of us have been searching for.

Nate successfully integrated the effect of neuroplastic pain into the physical portion of chronic back pain. It's a crucial step in healing anything chronic Once I understood this concept, everything changed in my recovery from back pain. I'm now fully recovered thanks to the team at back unbroken.

Nobody ever told me that I was healed
I am a 36-year-old former college football player who had basically accepted that I was destined for a life of fragility.
I continued down a path of chronic pain, thinking every tweak and every setback was just another injury in my seven-year saga. Physical therapy worked for a time, but I was always chasing the next “imbalance,” adding several hours of rehab to my week. Fascial manipulation and massage therapies helped for a few days, then I would “tighten up” again. Massage guns, inversion tables, acupuncture, stretching and yoga, core exercise; the list goes on and on.
About three weeks after I joined Nate’s program, I got some new imaging done. It turns out my fracture had healed and my discs were restored. But my pain was still very real.
BackUnbroken broke down barriers that I didn’t even know I had. This program was truly life-changing for me. I’ve been working out consistently now for the last month since completing the program. The pain is gone at best and very manageable at worst.
The program eases you in, develops best practices, simplifies the processes that are actually helpful, and guides you to eliminate whatever is holding you back; or at least what isn’t really helping. You start to feel in control. The program empowers you and frees you up rather than stacking on more methods and movements.
There’s a lot more I could say, but I don’t want to get too long-winded. I want people to read this!
So hear me when I say: if you’ve been stuck in a cycle of pain for too long, give Nate’s program a shot. It was absolutely worth it for me, and I believe it will be for you too.
