The Reset.
Shift Spinal Health · Adelaide
A focused MT Core Smart Decompression program for patients with moderate disc injuries — designed to reduce pain, decompress the affected disc, and restore basic spinal function.
The program
The minimum effective dose.
Not every patient needs a 12-week program upfront. The Reset is designed for patients who want to start their decompression journey with a structured, clinically sound program — and keep their rehabilitation manageable from home.
Consistent MT Core decompression over 4–6 weeks delivers targeted negative intradiscal pressure — the mechanism that allows herniated and degenerated discs to begin recovering. Your home mobility program reinforces this between visits.
The Reset is a foundation, not a ceiling. Many patients begin with the Reset and progress to the Rebuild as their recovery develops. You are never locked in — your pathway is always yours to choose.
What's included
- MT Core Smart Decompression sessions across 4–6 weeks
- Initial consultation & clinical assessment
- Baseline pain and mobility measurements
- Personalised home mobility exercise program
- Clinical progress report at program end
- Upgrade to Rebuild available at any point
How it works
Three steps to less pain.
MT Core Smart Decompression
The technology behind the program.
The MT Core is a computer-controlled spinal decompression system — the only unit of its kind in Adelaide. It delivers precise, programmable traction targeting intradiscal decompression, promoting disc rehydration, reducing nerve root compression, and creating the biological conditions for disc tissue recovery.
Unlike manual traction, the MT Core's intelligent feedback system monitors resistance in real time and adjusts force accordingly — maximising therapeutic benefit while protecting the tissues.
"The mechanism is straightforward: sustained negative pressure within the disc draws fluid, oxygen, and nutrients back in — supporting rehydration and tissue repair. The nerve decompression that follows is why many patients notice leg or arm symptom relief first."

Home mobility program
Rehab on your terms.
The Reset includes a personalised home mobility exercise program — delivered online with video demonstrations so you can complete your rehabilitation between sessions at home, on your own schedule.
Our commitment
We only win when you win.
The Reset carries the same clinical honesty as every Shift program. We will never keep you coming back unless it is genuinely in your interest.
If you complete all your sessions and your progress review shows no meaningful symptom or functional improvement, we'll reassess and adjust your plan at no charge.
If after your first week you don't feel confident that decompression is the right treatment for you, we'll refund your program investment in full. No awkward conversations.
A personalised, evidence-based treatment plan and an honest progress review at program completion — with a clear recommendation for what's next, not a push to continue.
Ready to go further? The Rebuild takes it all the way.
The Rebuild is a full 12-week program with guided in-clinic rehabilitation, access to our functional gym, the Shift Rehab app, and a comprehensive clinical progress report. Many Reset patients choose to upgrade — your clinician will discuss this at your progress review.
