PHYSICAL THERAPY
Low Back Pain at PFPT.
Low back pain is one of the most common issues we see and one of the most misunderstood. There are many reasons your lower back may hurt. Our attention to detail and comprehensive movement assessment help us understand what may be contributing.
PFPT / LOWER BACK CARELooking at how your lower back is being asked to work
At PFPT, we look at how your lower body and hips manage load, how you breathe and brace, and how the pelvis moves. These details help guide a plan for creating stability and pressure in the areas that need it.
Common conditions we treat
- Muscle strains
- Disc bulges/herniations
- Sciatica
- Chronic low back pain
- Stiffness with lifting or prolonged sitting
How we help with low back pain
Breathing and bracing
We work on breathing and bracing mechanics to help you create stability and pressure where they are needed.
Movement through the pelvis
Restoring segmental motion through the pelvis is part of our approach to helping your lower back move more freely.
Our main goal is to understand the reasons behind your discomfort and give your lower back the support and movement options it needs.
