Physical Therapy for Neck & Back Pain
When treating neck and back pain, we try to determine the cause of your discomfort, and then we look at two areas of action: stretching and exercise; and adjusting your daily posture to improve bad habits that can lead to chronic neck and back pain.

Physical Therapy for Tendonitis
Tendonitis (or tendinitis) can be caused by a specific injury or by repetitive muscle force. It normally refers to inflammation of an acute area but can be used to diagnose a multitude of injuries or discomfort of tendons. Common terms for tendonitis include tennis elbow, pitcher’s shoulder, golfer’s elbow, swimmer’s shoulder or jumper’s knee. Contact us to learn more about our physical therapy for tendonitis.

We commonly encounter soft tissue injuries in the leg muscles but we treat all areas for soft tissue injuries. Our treatment for soft tissue injuries includes joint mobilization therapy, range of motion exercises, and strength training. Schedule an appointment for physical therapy for a soft tissue injury.
How Physical Therapy Can Help Headaches
