Give yourself the power to avoid the pain & disability of back problems.

If you have back pain or a spine condition, pain and even disability may be familiar to you. Also, inactivity associated with pain and limited physical function can impact many other areas of your life, from work and social life to simple daily tasks. At the same time, it can worsen your problem, your pain and your ability to get better.

But there’s good news: Spinal stabilization has been shown to be highly effective for spine pain. Indeed, some studies have concluded that spinal stabilization techniques may be the most effective solution for low back pain. In other words, physical therapy may be more effective at helping you live an active and pain-free life than surgery, interventional procedures and other treatments.

What is “spinal stabilization”?

Spinal stabilization is a set of customized exercises that serve as a treatment for spine pain and as a strategy for protecting vulnerable spine structures. It is, simply, the body’s ability to properly align, hold and guide the spine. Stabilization consists of exercises that strengthen the “corset” of muscles in the back and abdomen so your spine can achieve “neutral” posture while sitting and standing and support and stabilize the spine as you move.

A proven technique... that must be tailored to you & constantly revised.

Movement and activity are critical to improving your ability to recover and avoid further problems and disability. But your problem is unique, as are your limitations, areas of sensitivity, range of motion, health situation and so on. Also, because spinal stabilization involves increasing strength and improving alignment, your needs and limitations will change as you progress. So spinal stabilization is not only individualized to you but dynamic, requiring the skill and know-how to adapt to your unique needs now and as they change.
