LOW BACK PAIN
A WHOLE-ORGANISM APPROACH TO BACK PAIN RELIEF AND LONG-TERM RESILIENCE.
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physical therapy - and one of the most misunderstood. I specialize in working with people who feel stuck in cycles of recurring flare-ups, incomplete relief, or confusing diagnoses and imaging findings.
My approach goes beyond treating the spine in isolation. Using an osteopathic-informed lens, I assess how the nervous system, breathing mechanics, visceral relationships, movement patterns, and overall load tolerance may be contributing to symptoms.
A UNIQUE APPROACH TO LOW BACK PAIN.
Low back pain care is an individualized approach that focuses on restoring movement confidence, strength, and adaptability — not just reducing pain. Treatment combines hands-on therapy, targeted exercise, and education to help you better understand your body and build long-term capacity.
Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all protocols, care is tailored to your history, goals, and lifestyle so progress feels sustainable and relevant to your life.
WHEN BACK PAIN FEELS COMPLEX OR HARD TO TRUST.
Low back pain isn’t always straightforward. For many people, it comes with uncertainty. This can be confusing diagnoses, mixed messages about what’s “safe,” or a growing hesitation to move at all. This approach is designed for individuals who feel stuck between wanting to move forward and not knowing how.
Rather than viewing pain as a sign of damage or something to work around, care focuses on helping your body regain a sense of safety, coordination, and adaptability. That means paying attention not just to the spine, but to how breathing, nervous system responses, movement habits, and overall capacity interact over time.
Progress often unfolds in phases. Early work may emphasize reducing sensitivity and restoring a sense of ease with movement. As confidence grows, care shifts toward gradually expanding what your body can tolerate. Build strength, resilience, and trust through meaningful, supported movement.
The goal is not simply to “fix” your back, but to help you feel capable again. Move with less fear, greater confidence, and a clearer understanding of how to support your body long-term.
