Physical Therapy

• Chronic back, neck, and joint pain
• Post-operative rehabilitation following procedures such as RFA, injections, or joint fusions
• Sports injuries and repetitive strain injuries
• Balance, mobility, and gait disorders
• Neuropathic pain or nerve injuries

Evidence supports PT’s efficacy in reducing pain, improving strength and flexibility, and preventing future injury. For example, a 2019 Cochrane review found that physical therapy significantly improves function and reduces disability in patients with chronic low back pain^{[^2]}. At Compass, PT is coordinated directly with your care team, ensuring exercises and interventions complement procedural and integrative therapies for maximal benefit.

Physical therapy is suitable for patients who:

• Experience pain, stiffness, or weakness that limits daily activities
• Are recovering from surgery or injury
• Want to improve mobility, strength, or balance
• Prefer non-invasive, drug-free approaches to pain management

At Compass, each patient undergoes a personalized evaluation, where therapists assess posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. The treatment plan is then tailored to address the root cause of pain, rather than just the symptoms.

Initial Assessment:

• Comprehensive evaluation of movement patterns, posture, muscle strength, and functional limitations.
• Review of medical history, imaging, and procedural treatments.

Treatment Session:

• Manual therapy to mobilize joints and soft tissues
• Targeted exercises to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and correct imbalances
• Gait and balance training if needed
• Adjunctive modalities such as PEMF, red-light therapy, and TENS to enhance pain relief and tissue recovery

Sessions are typically 45–60 minutes, and frequency depends on the patient’s condition and rehabilitation goals. Our therapists collaborate directly with your Compass physician to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans in real time.
