BACK PAIN

Are you still dealing with back pain after having your baby 1 year, 5 years, even 10+ years ago? Do you have back pain that hasn’t gone away with traditional physical therapy?

One of the most common conditions I treat are moms that are still dealing with low back pain years after they have had their babies. Research tells us that about 80% of people will deal with low back pain in their lifetime! I see moms and general people with back pain every day and I’m here to provide you with the tools to deal with the ROOT of the problem with your back pain so it doesn’t come back again.

Putting ice or heat on it or getting a massage may feel nice for the short term, but that is not actually going to fix the problem for good!

When you are properly evaluated for your low back pain, we will examine posture, movement when the pain comes on, examine the joints of your back, pelvis, and hips, look for areas of tightness or weakness in the back and hip muscles, and then provide you a DETAILED program that will get rid of your back pain!

START HEALING

We have a proven Movement Physio and Wellness 3-Step Method to help get rid of your back pain for good. The 3-Step Method works in three phases: Elongate, Elevate, and Empower.

 

ELONGATE.

 

We need to calm down the nervous system in order to reduce your pain and length tissues that are tight. We do this by incorporating breathwork and hands-on manual therapy techniques to get your muscles to relax. (Visits 1-4)

 

ELEVATE.

 

Once the tissues are calmed down and your pain is reduced, we will work on the brain to muscle connection and re-educate the muscles to fire the correct way. (Visits 5-8)

 

EMPOWER.

 

We work on functional strengthening of the muscles to help keep you strong and prevent this problem from returning again. We make sure you have all the “tools” in your “toolbox” so you feel empowered to take care of your body so you never experience this problem again! (Visits 9-12)

“I have had daily back pain since an injury in 2017. I had a posterior annular tear that caused a domino effect of all sorts of pain in my lower back and I suffer pretty greatly everyday. I have always been frustrated with basic physical therapy as I felt it was not getting to the root of my issue. I felt like so much more of my body was irritated because of the injury and these areas were not being addressed. When I started with Andrea, she took the time to look over so much more than just my disc issue. She works hands on with my hips and my abdomen area, which brings a lot of relief just in session with her. The hands-on treatment alone helps me so much with my pain. I have to also focus on simple things such as breathing a different way to calm my nervous system down because my body has been in fight or flight for so long. I have trained my mind to always believe I will be in pain, and my mindset is starting to shift as I see hope and random moments of time where I feel no pain, this had never happened before. The exercises I have been given for homework are also beneficial, in that Andrea spends time in session really making sure I have my form right, along with breathing correctly through my exercises. I feel as though the attention to detail and looking at my whole body as tying into my injury is helping so much more than anything in the past.”
