Back pain is one of the most common reasons people end up in physical therapy, and one of the most mismanaged.
Most people have been told to strengthen their core, rest when it hurts, and treat their back. That makes sense, right? But chasing core strength alone keeps people stuck, staying still makes recovery harder, and back pain almost never lives in just one place (which is why treating only the back misses the point more often than not).
Add insurance-driven visit limits into the mix, and most patients leave before they’ve built enough resilience to actually stay out of pain.
We want to help you understand, not just go through the motions.
