How Spine Therapy Can Help
Our team uses evidence-based techniques to address a wide range of spine-related conditions. After a thorough assessment of your movement, posture and symptoms, your therapist will develop a treatment plan based on your needs and goals.
Manual Physical Therapy
Hands-on techniques are used to mobilize joints, reduce tension and improve spinal alignment. Manual therapy helps relieve muscle spasms, increase flexibility and restore functional motion in the neck, upper back and lower back.
Lumbar Stabilization
This active exercise program trains the deep core muscles that support your spine. You’ll learn how to find and maintain your “neutral spine” position and strengthen surrounding muscles to reduce pain and prevent future injury. Lumbar stabilization is often used after low back injury or surgery and continues throughout recovery.
Benefits include:
- Reduced pain
- Better spinal control during activity
- Healing of soft tissue injuries
- Lower risk of reinjury from sudden or repetitive motion
Postural Training
Poor posture can stem from joint restrictions, muscle imbalance, or weakness. Our therapists provide a comprehensive postural analysis, then design an individualized plan that includes strengthening, stretching and manual therapy techniques to improve alignment and movement patterns.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Spine surgery recovery requires specific care and communication. Our therapists coordinate closely with your surgeon to follow post-operative protocols, help restore strength and mobility and guide you safely back to your usual activities.
What to Expect
Initial Evaluation
You’ll begin with a detailed assessment of your pain, movement, posture and strength. Your therapist will identify the root causes of discomfort and discuss your activity goals.
Personalized Plan
We’ll create a therapy plan tailored to your spine condition, work or sport requirements and lifestyle. This plan may include manual therapy, exercise instruction, postural retraining and education on body mechanics.
Home Exercise Program
