Lumbar and Lower Body Rehabilitation

The lower body is essential for movement, stability, and balance. Whether you’re dealing with back pain, recovering from surgery, or suffering from an injury, our goal is to help you regain mobility and improve function. At Progress Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating a wide variety of conditions affecting the lumbar spine, hips, knees, ankles, and feet.

Common Conditions We Treat

Sciatica & Disc Herniation – Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve from a herniated disc can cause pain, numbness, and tingling down the leg. We help relieve pressure on the nerve with targeted manual therapy, stretching, and strengthening exercises, improving posture and mobility.
Spinal Stenosis & Canal Stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal can lead to nerve compression, causing back pain and leg discomfort. Our approach focuses on relieving nerve pressure through postural corrections, strengthening exercises, and pain management techniques.
Post-Lumbar Surgery Rehabilitation – Following surgeries like lumbar fusion, laminectomy, or discectomy, we provide a structured recovery program that includes safe movement strategies, progressive strengthening, and flexibility exercises to restore function and prevent further issues.
Lumbar Muscle Strain – Overuse or sudden movements can strain the muscles of the lower back, causing pain and limited motion. We work to relieve muscle tension, improve flexibility, and build strength to prevent future injuries.
Hip Pain & Hip Replacement – Hip pain can stem from arthritis, bursitis, or tendonitis, and often requires surgical intervention, such as hip replacement. Post-surgery, we guide you through rehabilitation to regain strength, flexibility, and proper gait, restoring your ability to move comfortably.
Bursitis – Inflammation of the bursae around the joints can cause significant pain, especially around the hip, knee, and shoulder. Our therapy program includes reducing inflammation, improving joint function, and increasing muscle strength to support the affected area.
Knee Pain, Knee Surgery & Rehabilitation – Knee issues, including ACL tears, meniscus injuries, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and knee replacements, are commonly treated in physical therapy. We address pain relief, strength building, joint mobility, and stability to help you return to everyday activities or sports.
Ankle Pain & Sprains – Whether from a sprain, fracture, or tendonitis, ankle injuries can significantly impact your movement. We use rehabilitation techniques such as strengthening exercises, manual therapy, and proprioceptive training to enhance mobility, reduce pain, and restore balance.
Post-Ankle Surgery Rehabilitation – After surgeries like ankle arthroscopy, ligament repair, or ankle fusion, we help restore range of motion, reduce swelling, and build strength to return you to your desired activity levels.
Foot Pain & Plantar Fasciitis – Chronic foot pain or conditions like Plantar Fasciitis often result from poor mechanics, muscle imbalances, or overuse. We focus on improving foot mechanics, relieving pain, and strengthening the foot and ankle muscles to prevent recurrence.
Piriformis Syndrome – Compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle can cause pain in the buttocks and legs. Our treatment includes manual therapy, stretching, and strengthening exercises to release the tension and alleviate symptoms.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner’s Knee) – Pain around the kneecap often results from muscle imbalances or overuse. We offer targeted exercises to strengthen the quadriceps and improve patellar tracking, which helps reduce pain and prevent re-injury.
Chondromalacia Patella – Damage to the cartilage under the kneecap can cause pain and stiffness. Our treatment approach includes exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve joint mechanics.
Sports Injuries – Whether you’re dealing with a sprained ankle, strained hamstring, or rotator cuff injury, we provide rehabilitation programs designed to restore function, prevent future injuries, and improve performance.
Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction – Pain in the lower back and pelvis can result from dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint. We focus on improving mobility, strengthening the surrounding muscles, and reducing inflammation to restore comfort and function.
Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction – Pain in the pubic bone and pelvic area is common in pregnancy and after childbirth. Our treatment approach targets pelvic alignment, muscle strengthening, and stability exercises to help reduce pain and restore function.
Coccydynia (Tailbone Pain) – Pain in the tailbone can result from trauma or prolonged sitting. Our therapy helps by improving posture, relieving pressure, and strengthening the surrounding muscles to ease discomfort.
