Spine Care – Neck and Back Care

Therapists with personal experience with back and neck pain are often the best at spine care. At Lake Country Physical Therapy & Sportscare, PC you have therapists with nearly five decades of experience. Pain control is the first priority. Hands-on bodywork, known as manual therapies, such as Primal Reflex Release Techniques (PRRT), Associated Awareness Techniques (AAT), joint mobilization, manipulation, myofascial release techniques, CranioSacral Therapy (CST), Usui Reiki, Cupping, strain counterstrain techniques, McKenzie and more is used to quickly break the pain cycle allowing motion and tolerance to exercise for restoring flexibility, strength, agility, balance, and endurance for activities of daily living (ADL) and job performance.
