Understanding Your Back Pain

Back pain rarely has a single cause. Poor posture, workplace injuries, sports activities, aging, and even stress can contribute to your symptoms. What makes back pain particularly frustrating is how it can persist long after the initial injury has healed, creating a cycle of chronic pain that seems impossible to break. Without proper rehabilitation, research shows chemical changes to the muscles that stabilize our spine and tissue that is injured. Whether this is the first onset of back pain or the 10th, rehabilitation is crucial in recovery.

Physical therapy addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of back pain. By improving blood flow to damaged tissues, strengthening supporting muscles, and restoring proper movement patterns, our approach helps patients achieve lasting relief—not just temporary fixes.

The Primal Approach to Back Pain Treatment

Your journey toward recovery begins with a thorough initial consultation. Instead of applying one-size-fits-all solutions, we take the time to understand your specific needs, medical history, and lifestyle requirements. Our whole body assessment approach allows us to connect the dots and figure out the root cause of back pain. This detailed assessment allows us to create a customized treatment plan tailored specifically to your unique needs.

Your individualized program may include:

Manual therapy techniques to restore mobility and reduce muscle tension

Dry needling to address trigger points and enhance blood flow

Targeted strengthening exercises to support your spine

Movement retraining to prevent re-injury

Education about posture and body mechanics for daily activities

Our Bryn Mawr physical therapists don't just treat your current symptoms—we help you develop strategies to prevent future episodes of back pain, empowering you to maintain the results of your therapy long after your final session.

Your Path to Recovery

During your first visit to our Bryn Mawr practice, we'll take the time to listen to your concerns and perform a comprehensive evaluation. Many patients notice some relief even after this initial appointment, as we begin addressing the most pressing aspects of your condition right away.

As your treatment progresses, we'll continuously adapt your plan based on your response and recovery progress. Progression of mobility and strength allow monitoring of progression towards your goals. If the goal is to return to the golf course or get back on the tennis court, our tailored rehabilitation will address all facets to help achieve your return. Our goal is to help you achieve measurable improvements in:

  • Pain reduction during rest and activity
  • Improved mobility and range of motion
  • Increased strength in core and supporting muscles
  • Enhanced function during work and recreational activities
  • Confidence in managing your condition independently
