Back Pain Physical Therapy in Manhattan
What Causes Back Pain?
Back pain can come from many places: a pulled muscle, a herniated disc, sciatica (pain that runs from the lower back down the leg), years of poor posture, or pain that simply never went away. Two people can feel the same ache for very different reasons.
That is why your first visit is a detailed check of how you stand, bend and move, how far your spine and hips can go, and how strong the muscles that support them are. Once we know the real cause, your plan targets that, not just the spot that hurts.
Back Pain Treatment Without the Passive Extras
PhysioRX is built around exercise, not heating pads, massage or cupping. Your physical therapist teaches you how to take control of your back with work that lasts after your sessions end:
- Core strengthening to support your spine
- Mobility and stretching work to ease stiffness
- Posture coaching to take strain off your back
- Practice with everyday movements like lifting, bending and carrying
- Pain relief strategies to keep you moving while you heal
The goal is that you understand your own back: which movements help, which ones to ease off for now, and how to build the strength that keeps the pain from coming back. You do the work with your therapist in the room first, so you can repeat it with confidence on your own.
Back Pain Help That Fits a Manhattan Schedule
Our clinic is open 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays, so a session can fit before work, after work or on the weekend. When you come in, your therapist stays with you for the entire 60 minutes and never hands you off to an aide.
Between visits, the PhysioRX app holds your exercises, each with a video and written steps, and lets you message your therapist when your back flares up or a movement feels off.
