Introducing the Spine Center!
At Progressive Physical Therapy the treatment
philosophy for our Spine Center is based on individualized care for
every patient that seeks our services. We feel it is important to educate
and empower you to take control of your condition so you may live a
quality life. Our services span the spectrum from acute injury to return
to function, with adjuncts of aquatic therapy and women’s health
when appropriate.

Treatment Options:
Patient Education
Patient education is a critical component of treatment. It is essential
for you to understand your condition so that you can use that information
to help yourself in the recovery process. Patient education includes
anatomy, body mechanics and return to functional activities.
Manual Therapy
Techniques
Progressive Physical Therapy feels it is very
important to use the most important tool we have to treat the spine – our
hands. Manual techniques are used when necessary and appropriate
for musculoskeletal problems to restore muscle balance and prepare the
body for exercise.
Therapeutic Exercise
Exercise
is the most important component to keeping your back healthy. Maintaining
good posture and body mechanics and keeping on a regular exercise regime
will keep your back healthy and strong and less likely to encounter
injury.
