Back Pain & PT

Years ago if you had back pain you would most likely have been advised bed rest and immobilization. Research and evidence now clearly show that inactivity weakens the muscles that support the spine and, if continued too long, can prolong recovery or even make certain conditions worse.

Appropriate exercise and activity, on the other hand, increases muscle flexibility and strength and promotes healing by increasing blood flow to the injured site. Healthy muscles provide protection to bones and joints.
