“To me, life is all about helping others, and physical therapy is the perfect medium to accomplish this. The close relationships I am able to build with my patients and seeing their lives change for the better without drugs or surgery brings me great joy.” “I realize each patient is unique, so I take time with them and together, we come up with a treatment plan that will meet their goals. I will do everything in my power to help my patients experience life better than they thought possible. This could be through athletic achievements, staying active through their older years or just enjoying their daily activities.

Is back pain causing you to move a little slower and more cautiously? If left untreated, chronic back pain can lead to long-term spinal joint and possibly nerve damage. Back pain is one of the most common physical complaints that people suffer from and more than 80% of the US population will experience back pain at some point in their lifetime. Back pain can interfere with your ability to bend, kneel, lift, reach, do work and enjoy time with your family. Not to mention, it can make you down right irritable and affect others around you. Why do I have Back Pain? Back pain occurs for a number of reasons, but has a few simple root causes:

• Weakness in the spinal and core muscles of the trunk • Poor posture and strain on the spine with slouched sitting • Repetitive injury to muscles and tissues around the spine with poor lifting • Limited flexibility of the spine, hips and muscles of the thighs • Poor coordination of the abdominal, pelvic and back muscles

Most people don’t seek treatment soon enough and continue to suffer with a nagging ache or pain in their back. They may even feel symptoms travel to the buttocks and legs. Many people feel that not much can be done for back pain and use medication to numb the pain to get through the day. However, medication mostly masks the pain and does nothing to address the root cause of the problem. Solutions to Back Pain Treating back pain starts with determining the true cause. A thorough evaluation of your movement, strength, posture and joint mobility can tell a lot about the true origins of your pain. Only then, can the proper plan be formulated to get you out of pain quickly and back to the activities you love. Whether you just tweaked your back or have been suffering for a long time, seeing one of our spine specialists can help you return to a more active and pain-free life.

Patient Success Spotlight

Think Beyond Limits Physical Therapy FIRST

“Beyond Limits Physical Therapy is just that, BEYOND any other PT office I’ve ever experienced. At age 70 I’ve been treated by numerous physical therapists. Beyond Limits has provided personalized treatment, focusing on my specific needs and the doctor’s issued protocols. I never felt I was being put into a pre-designed program. Matt and Jason have been attentive, monitoring by progress along with my difficulties. The Wellness program under Kelsey is beyond expectations. Under Kelsey’s personalized program I’ve lost 15 pounds, three inches off my waist and found muscles I never knew could be developed. It’s difficult and seems impossible at first, but with Kelsey’s dedication and commitment her program has literally changed my life. I eat, exercise, think and feel differently. I literally cannot thank Matt, Jason and Kelsey enough.” – Stephen W. I eat, exercise, think and feel differently!
