EXERC I SE ESSENT I ALS USE THIS EXERCISE TO STRENGTHEN YOUR CORE “My doctor referred me to physical therapy for my chronic lower back pain and CTS. I tried so many places with no success. I decided to give EIM Physical Therapy and their Manual Therapy approach a shot. My experience with EIM Physical Therapy is not like any other. They are highly trained, professional and different. They are patient-centered and provide excellent care. I was shocked to see an immediate improvement in my pain, thanks to my PT at EIM. Now, I’m back to my normal life: pain-free and finally able to enjoy my grandkids again. I highly recommend EIM PT to anyone looking for true pain relief.” – B. B.
