Most cases of back pain are moderate and self-resolving. However, back discomfort can recur or persist for certain people, resulting in diminished quality of life or disability. Physical therapy can assist you in improving or restoring mobility and alleviate pain when someone has low back discomfort.
Physical therapists are experts who assist you in mobility. Through direct treatment, patient education, and prescribed mobility, they enhance people’s well-being and reduce the risk of disease. In addition, a physical therapist can evaluate on your behalf.
