"I came in with excrutiating back pain and sciatica, was told that the severity made surgery very likely. However, after 3 weeks of rehab with Dr. Kylie, along with some treatment with Dr. Jonathan, I feel 10x better and am fully functional almost back to my day to day life. I am confident in the care they give and attention they bring to each appointment. 10/10 recommend."

How We Help You Overcome Back Pain

Re-set & Re-learn
We start by identifying the root cause of your pain—muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, or joint restrictions. Through manual therapy and education, we help your body reset and move efficiently again.
-
Re-load with Strength
Back pain doesn't just need rest—it needs strength. We progressively load your muscles, tendons, and spine with exercises designed to rebuild resilience and prevent future injury.
-
Re-engage in Life
Our goal is to get you back to your sport, workouts, and daily activities without fear or limitation. We use our 20-yard turf and gym equipment to simulate real-world movements so you're truly ready.
