Physical Therapy that treats the root of your pain

When pain or injury limits your ability to stay active, physical therapy can help you regain strength, mobility, and confidence.

If you’ve tried physical therapy before and didn’t see results, you’re not alone.

Many clinics rely on generic exercises and passive treatments that provide only temporary relief. They follow insurance-driven protocols and focus on surface-level fixes instead of addressing the root cause of your pain.

At Premiere Spine and Sport, we do things differently.

Not only do we take the time to find the real cause of your pain, you can expect a completely customized treatment plan tailored to your body, lifestyle, and goals. Every one-on-one, 60-minute session is led by your physical therapist – no assistants, no shortcuts.

Sessions integrate multiple therapies into each visit, blending physical therapy with chiropractic care and advanced mobility techniques. Because physical therapy as you know it just isn’t enough.

The result?

A customized, hands-on approach that delivers long-term relief, better movement, and optimized performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve Seen A Physical Therapist Before, How Are You Different?

Most physical therapy clinics rely on short, insurance-driven sessions, where patients spend little time with the actual therapist. At Premiere Spine and Sport, every session is one-on-one, 60 minutes long, with no assistants or generic treatment plans. And our integrative, hands-on approach goes beyond standard physical therapy.

Our lead physical therapist is fellowship-trained in orthopedic manual therapy, a level of expertise achieved by only 1% of physical therapists. This advanced training allows us to provide a high level of care you won’t find just anywhere.

What’s The Difference Between Physical Therapy And Mobility & Movement Therapy?

Both physical therapy and mobility & movement therapy aim to improve movement, but they serve different purposes.

Physical therapy is often designed for those recovering from pain or injury, focusing on rehabilitation and restoring function. It can also be used to improve pelvic floor function, address postpartum changes, and help with post-menopausal musculoskeletal concerns that impact movement, strength, and stability.

Mobility & movement therapy isn’t just for individuals who are injured or in pain, but is great for those wanting to enhance their movement, prevent injury, and optimize performance.

But want great news? You never have to choose. Physical therapy and mobility work are both part of our integrative approach, and we use whatever is needed to get the best results for you.

Do You Only Use Exercises In Your Treatment Sessions?
No. While movement-based therapy is a key part of what we do, our approach also includes hands-on techniques, advanced technology, and specialized therapies like orthopedic manual therapy, Kinvent biomechanical technology, Isophit strength training, Functional Range Conditioning (FRC), and more.
Will I Have To Do Exercises At Home?

Yes, but they won’t be one-size-fits-all exercises you can find online. Your home program will be customized to reinforce your therapy and ensure long-term progress.

As you heal and strengthen, your exercises and treatments will evolve to match your progress and help you enjoy your active lifestyle without pain.

How Long Will It Take For Me To See Results?
Every case is different, but most patients start noticing improvements and significant pain relief after just 2-3 sessions. We focus on treating the root cause and first want to help you get you out of pain. Then, we’ll work to restore the tissue’s ability to resist tension, support your lifestyle, and keep the pain away.
Will Physical Therapy Hurt?
Some discomfort is normal, especially when addressing underlying dysfunctions. However, we focus on progressive, controlled movements designed to improve function without unnecessary pain. Temporary soreness may occur but will subside as your body adjusts.
Can I Still Be Active While Doing Physical Therapy?
Yes! Our goal is to keep you moving while adjusting your training safely to support your recovery. We work with athletes, active moms, and fitness enthusiasts to modify movement rather than restrict it.
What Happens If I Don’t Address My Pain Or Injury?
Ignoring pain often leads to compensatory movement patterns, causing additional strain on other joints and tissues. Over time, this can result in chronic pain, joint damage, longer recovery time, or even the need for surgery. Addressing issues early helps prevent long-term consequences.
Do You Work With All Levels Of Athletes And Active Individuals?

Yes! We specialize in helping active individuals at all levels.

Whether you’re an athlete, an active mom, or simply someone who values staying fit for the long haul, we can create a plan that fits your lifestyle and goals.

What Types Of Conditions Do You Treat With Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy can help with a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Chronic pain syndromes (hip impingement, patellar femoral pain, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis)
  • Post-operative rehab
  • Sports injuries (sprains, strains, muscle tears)
  • Mobility restrictions affecting performance in activities like yoga, Pilates, running, or weightlifting

If you have a movement-related issue, we can help.

Who Is Physical Therapy NOT For?

  • Children under 3 (case-by-case basis for ages 3-13)
  • Degenerative neurological conditions
