Your individualized back pain plan starts with a thorough Back Pain Assessment to find the root cause of your problem.
We often hear from our clients that this is the most thorough session they have ever had with a healthcare provider. Here’s what you can expect during your Back Pain Assessment:

Your therapist will also be able to let you know if you have to be careful with your back (spoiler: you almost never do) and how we can get you back to living an active life without the fear of back pain.

This is Nick's story:
Jesse helped me understand the underlying causes of my low back pain and patiently address them step by step. My back feels stronger, more flexible, and more resilient than it has in a decade. I am an active person approaching 50 -- with walking, jogging, yoga, strength training, and martial arts all part of my regular activities. I had suffered periodic episodes of low back pain for more than 25 years, becoming more frequent and more intense in my 40s. A spasm during my most recent episode left me wincing for more than 10 days and searching for a new approach. With his rare combination of art, science, empathy, patience, and communication, Jesse helped me reframe mentally and physically everything I had been doing for years to "protect" my back. Working with Jesse has been the single best investment I have made in my health. I am so grateful for his help. Robert A.
