Physical Therapy for Back, Neck, & Spine: 3-Step Approach
The Body Pros evidence-based process for physical therapy for back, neck, & spine provides quick pain relief for many of the most common types of acute and chronic back and neck pain. In addition, our 3-step approach may also address any arm or leg pain associated with the mechanical dysfunction of the spine.
3-Steps To Reduce Or Eliminate Back & Neck Pain
- Mechanical Assessment: Our physical assessment covers the spine mechanics and related structures that affect your spine’s movement and stability. Based on this evaluation, we design a personalized treatment plan for your specific condition with the input of your therapist and physician.

Physical Therapy for Headaches
Did you know that up to 78% of all headaches are tension headaches that respond to manual physical therapy techniques?
That’s why Body Pros Physical Therapy has implemented a special program designed to help patients identify and manage tension headaches.ย To help educate our patients, Body Pros Physical Therapy offers a Headache & Migraine Survival Guide. The Guide is designed to be a useful tool for helping you find the treatment options and care providers that will work best for you.
Frequently, muscle tension will refer pain to the head. This is why evidence-based manual therapy techniques can effectively address many tension headaches.ย In most cases your neck will be the primary source of the nerve irritation causing tension headaches.
Depending on your unique symptoms, you may benefit from one or more of the following physical therapies and treatment modalities:
- Manual therapy techniques – This may include manual mobilization of the neck to assist recovery, restore
range of motion, reduce muscle spasms and stimulate circulation. - Therapeutic exercises: To promote postural improvements, improve flexibility, and increase strength.
- Functional training in self-care and home management – To provide a home treatment plan for preventing
reccurrence, including guidance for diet and lifestyle changes. - Therapeutic modalities – This may include ultrasound to relieve pain, deep heat to promote blood
circulation, infrared light therapy (cold laser) and/or electrical stimulation to promote healing, blood
circulation, and relieve pain.
Taken together, all of the treatments listed above are clinically proven to decrease the muscle tension and inflammation contributing to tension headaches. This treatment protocol can also identify and address any dysfunctional musculoskeletal movements that may be contributing to poor head and shoulder posture; poor posture increases the stress to the neck and contributes to the nerve irritation causing the headaches.

Physical Therapy For Balance And Fall Prevention
Medicare now advises that all Medicare patients get a yearly Fall Risk Assessment. Thatโs because the U.S. Congress Fall Prevention Act states that falls are the main cause of death from injuries among people who are 65 years old or older. The number of deaths from falls in this age group is predicted to increase twofold by 2030.
Balance & Fall Risk Management Plan Designed For You
We can help you with your muscle and balance problems by providing you with a personalized exercise program which includes:
- Assessment of your muscle strength and flexibility and prescribe exercises that target the areas that need improvement.
- Evaluation of your balance and give you exercises that will enhance your stability and reduce your risk of falling. These exercises are based on scientific evidence and are effective for people of all ages.
- Establish realistic goals to help you regain your functional abilities and confidence in performing daily activities.
Most patients see progress within 4-6 sessions when attending two to three times a week.
We accept Medicare and most other insurance plans for physical therapy treatment for balance issues, including muscle weakness, difficulty walking, dizziness, and previous falls. We will follow the coverage guidelines and limitations of your plan.
Finding The Best Physical Therapy For Your Injury
At Body Pros, the best physical therapy plan will integrate a variety of different types of treatment methods clinically proven to restore range of motion and help reduce pain for your unique type of injury.

- Exercise Therapy: Specific exercises to strengthen, stretch and stabilize the injured muscles, tendons and ligaments. Exercise therapy can help restore function, prevent re-injury and enhance performance.
- Modalities: These are physical agents such as heat, cold, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, or laser to the injured area. Modalities can help moderate pain, reduce swelling and inflammation, and promote healing.
- Education: This includes evidence-based research and clinical information about the type of injury. In addition, your Body Pros therapist provides advice on how to manage the injury, prevent complications and optimize recovery. Education can help increase awareness, motivation and adherence to the treatment plan.

Speed Recovery & Reduce Pain With Hands-On Manual Therapy Treatment
Physical therapy services provided at Body Pros puts manual therapy at the center of every treatment plan.
Manual therapy is a critical component of physical therapy that involves hands-on techniques to alleviate pain, improve joint mobility, and enhance range of motion. It allows your therapist to apply their knowledge of anatomy and pathology directly, using their hands to address specific patient conditions.
This form of therapy is particularly beneficial during the acute phases of rehabilitation, where movement may be limited and pain levels higher. As recovery progresses, manual therapy continues to play a role, often in conjunction with active therapy techniques such as strengthening exercises and balance training.
