Our Approach to Back Pain Relief

Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation by one of our licensed physical therapists at our conveniently located NYC clinic. Based on your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals, we create a fully personalized plan that may include:

  • Manual therapy to reduce tension and improve joint movement
  • Corrective exercises to strengthen your core and stabilizing muscles
  • Postural training and ergonomic coaching to reduce everyday strain
  • Cupping, or electrical stimulation to relieve pain and inflammation
  • Spinal mobility and flexibility work to restore natural movement

 

Our goal is not just to treat symptoms—but to correct the underlying cause of your pain.
