Pain Management
Mobility training consists of exercises to increase range of motion and stability, or control of muscles surrounding each joint. While mobility is not the same as flexibility, mobility training incorporates both flexibility and strength to restore or improve range of motion and stability.
Motor control theories encompass reflexive, automatic, adaptive, and voluntary movements, and are used to reestablish efficient, coordinated and goal-directed movement patterns involving various levels of the nervous system. Physical therapists incorporate neurophysiology, biomechanics, and motor learning principles to create motor solutions based on the interactions between the patient, the environment, and the task at hand.
PNF is a stretching technique used to improve muscular elasticity, and can improve both active and passive ranges of motion. It is also used to increase strength in patients who have sustained soft tissue injuries or damage due to invasive surgery. PNF can also increase muscular performance when done after exercise.

Vertebral compression fractures most often occur in those with osteoporosis. However, car accidents and sports injuries can also leave you with these spinal fractures. As a result, you may be dealing with chronic back pain or you may even hunch over.
Your vertebrae are cushioned by round discs with a protective outer layer. A herniated disc occurs when a fragment of the disc nucleus is pushed out of that outer layer, into the spine.
Dysfunction or inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, or SI joint, can often lead to pelvic or lower back pain. Since so many conditions and injuries can also lead to pain in the pelvis or lower back, it can be a bit difficult to pinpoint when the SI joint could be the cause.
This condition occurs over the years, as a result of constant motion and stress on the spine. This normal wear and tear can lead to deterioration of the discs of the spine, particularly the neck and lower back. This is something that can and often does get worse as we get older.
