Low back pain is by far one of the most common ailments ever experienced. Just about everyone deals with low back pain at one point in their life. For some, the lucky ones, perhaps, the pain is just for a day or two as a result of a particularly grueling day of yard work or a slip-and-fall accident that landed you flat on your bum with a bruise to prove it. For others, the low back pain is something that lingers for years and years, getting worse as a result of improper footwear or particularly unsupportive furniture, and never really healing or going away.

FIND RELIEF! THE IDEAL TREATMENT FOR LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is by far one of the most common ailments ever experienced. Just about everyone deals with low back pain at one point in their life. For some, the lucky ones, perhaps, the pain is just for a day or two as a result of a particularly grueling day of yard work or a slip-and-fall accident that landed you flat on your bum with a bruise to prove it. For others, the low back pain is something that lingers for years and years, getting worse as a result of improper footwear or particularly unsupportive furniture, and never really healing or going away. It is estimated that one-half of all Americans experience lower back pain annually, and it is considered to be the leading cause of workplace disability worldwide—not just in the United States. It is also one of the most common reasons that people miss work, and is the second most common reason that people visit the doctor’s office. When you put those two facts together, the cost of dealing with lower back pain really starts to add up. The average annual cost of dealing with back pain in the United States is $50 billion. Unfortunately, a lot of those financial resources go into dealing with back pain through pain management and medication, but that is not an effective long-term solution for dealing with back pain. A far healthier and cost-effective solution is through physical therapy.
According to the National Institute for Health, the rates of low back pain have been steadily rising in the United States over the past 20 years. The study was conducted by medical researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Researchers consulted with members of the North Carolina community who experienced back pain to understand what caused their pain, how frequently they experience the pain, and what the severity of the pain is like. They found by talking with household members across the state that the incidence of lower back pain has increased significantly since the last time this survey was conducted, which was in 1992. Since 1992, the percentage of people coping with lower back pain increased from just over three percent to well over 10 percent. This is a significant finding, especially when it was found that the increase in lower back pain remained constant across demographics. A further interesting finding is that of those who experience lower back pain, 84 percent opted to seek medical treatment to address the pain, which was an increase of more than 10 percent in 1992. This means that while more people are experiencing back pain, more people are also seeking treatment for that pain, though there is still an approximate 15 percent of the population who are coping with severe lower back pain without treatment. For those, seeking support from a physical therapist could significantly improve quality of life.

LOWER BACK PAIN AND PHYSICAL THERAPY
When working with a physical therapist, you may also be guided through different lifestyle changes that you can make that can help you begin to overcome your back pain with everyday activities. This can include: • Making changes to the type of shoes that you wear so that your back is getting more support with every step. Sometimes, using special insoles can significantly improve your back pain. • Adjusting your sleeping habits, or perhaps investing in a new mattress so that your back has more support at night. • Using more lumbar support at work or on your commute by using a special chair or chair cover. Lower back pain is a pain in the butt, but you don’t need to deal with it any longer. Reach out to your physical therapist for information and support overcoming lower back pain, and finally find long-term relief.
Physical therapy is a great resource for lower back pain because it addresses the cause of the pain, rather than simply attempting to hide the symptoms. Working with a physical therapist can help you to experience improved range of motion, to restore strength to muscles in your lower back that may have experienced atrophy through lack of use, and also reduce tension in your lower back muscles through targeted massage.

PATIENT SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT
"They all work as a team to go above and beyond, insuring their clients' needs are meet."
My therapist Jay deserves a special mention. I came to the clinic withmultiple issues from several injuries. Jay who has his Doctorate in Physical Therapy, designed an program integrating exercises to address to my total recovery, shifting focus from one session to the next depending on my progress. He created variations on exercises, modifying and tailoring to fit my needs, focusing on underlying core weaknesses to correct for a total recovery. Jay's mastery of soft tissue techniques and physical therapy is extraordinary, and has played an important part in my rehabilitation. With his education and training, Jay also addressed deficiencies from my concurrent wrist OT to address hand and finger pain impacting my work and daily activities. His calm, zen-like manner, energy and attention to detail set him apart from any other therapist I have worked with prior. I especially benefited from Jay's perceptive, supportive manner and upbeat, enthusiastic reassurance. His ability to hone in on how I was feeling each session and tailor my workouts to address issues that popped up was truly remarkable and made a huge impact on my recovery. The facility is impeccable with individual rooms for evaluations and treatments requiring more privacy. The staff are super pleasant and accommodating. Everyone gets a hello by first name, and the clinic vibe is always upbeat, relaxed and professional. I look forward to every session and always leave feeling better. Whatever your rehab need, age or physical conditioning, I highly recommend Rebound Fitness and Rehabilitation. You don't 'just 'graduate', instead you leave with tools and techniques to incorporate into a fitness routine and sustain your recovery. Thank you, Greg and team!" — Diane R.
"This is my second go-around with Rebound Fitness, and I’m back for good reason - Rebound Fitness is exceptional and a one-of-a-kind model and operation. I’ve been treated at other clinics over the years so am well equipped to say that none provide what Greg and teamdo. Combining a unique knowledge biomechanics and kinesiology, the Rebound team constructs an optimal PT regime and road to recovery for their clients. They take a holistic view of the body and all muscles/movements involved with the affected area(s). Other clinics (therapy mills) 'spot' treat injuries with the goal of 'graduating from therapy, and where clients are frequently handed off to a trainee or aid after 20 minutes. Greg and his staff genuinely care about their clients' health and well being. They all work as a team to go above and beyond, insuring their clients' needs are meet and concerns addressed. Communication is excellent. Greg takes a personal interest in every Rebound client, and makes himself available both during and outside of clinic hours.
