“ALL OF THE STAFF IS AMAZING, FRIENDLY, AND GENUINELY CARES ABOUT THEIR PATIENTS. ” “I can not speak highly enough about Superior PT!! All of the staff is amazing, friendly, and genuinely cares about their patients. They are very personable and make you feel welcome. I had the pleasure of meeting a majority of them during the 10 months I was there healing from a semi accident that resulted in several cervical herniations and a torn labral in my shoulder. They listen attentively and have a gamut of different and individualized techniques to help. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs excellent quality care.” — Heidi C.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN AT PHYSICAL THERAPY 1. Standing tall whenever you are standing or walking. Work on improving your posture. If you are slouching when you walk, that may impact how your back feels. Make a point of keeping your shoulders square and your back straight as you walk. 2. Making sure that you are wearing suitable types of shoes. The golden rule for walking is to wear sneakers, specifically the ones that meet your individual needs. Our therapist can make recommendations based on your unique needs. 3. Trying a custom insert in your shoe. Orthotics, for most people, are meant to be temporary. Getting your old orthotics assessed by our therapists will be very helpful to ensure one is still necessary and/or you have the right ones for your specific situation. 4.Changing “how” you walk. Making sure you restore the coordination between your trunk and your pelvis can make all the difference in the world. Our therapist will assess you and give you specific instructions to improve how you walk. Often we change how we walk when we are hurting. Working with a physical therapist to develop improved strategies and techniques with your walking could help you get back on your feet even sooner than you thought possible. What’s more, for those who can walk, getting on your feet more often with targeted exercises could help you find relief from back pain even sooner than expected.
