Why Work With Us?

Natural and Non-Invasive: Our method is a safe, holistic approach to pain relief. We don’t rely on medications or invasive procedures. While those may be appropriate in some cases (consult your primary care physician), we instead help you reduce or eliminate back tension and pain using the mind-body connection.

Compatible: Our methods are compatible with other therapies. Keep what works, while learning new ways to enhance and improve your outcomes.

Scientifically Backed: Our approach is grounded in the latest research in neuromuscular re-education. We combine evidence-based techniques with real-world adaptations to provide lasting results.

Proven Results: We’ve helped many individuals, including those with chronic pain, degenerative disc disease, and scoliosis, reduce or eliminate their discomfort in just days or weeks. The success stories speak for themselves.

Personalized Coaching: No two people experience back pain in the same way. That’s why we offer online support to help you to apply our scientifically-proven methods to your individual needs and goals.

A Holistic Experience: Our method is about more than just relieving pain. It’s about restoring your sense of vitality and helping you realise the power that you have over your own back health.

Our Founder

Back Republic was founded by Ben O'Loghlin.

At the age of 21, while at university, Ben was experiencing severe back, neck and shoulder pain, and tension headaches.

After exploring medication, physiotherapy, yoga, massage, stretching, acupuncture and meditation, Ben was left despondent and frustrated. These methods made some short-term difference, but Ben remained confused as to the root cause of his back, neck and shoulder problems.

It wasn't until he discovered a little-known therapy called Alexander Technique that his healing journey began. Ben is now completely free of back, neck and shoulder pain.

Alexander Technique is famous amongst musicians, dancers and actors, being taught at many well-known institutions including The Juilliard School and Royal College London.

Amazed that the Technique isn't more widely known, Ben resolved to make Alexander Technique available to anyone with the resolve to change their situation. In Mind and Back's programs, Alexander Technique is adapted to an online group setting and is complemented by a range of educational resources.
