Understanding Back Pain in Northbrook’s Active Community

Life in Northbrook is full of movement—from weekend tennis matches at the local courts to gardening in spring and navigating icy sidewalks in winter. All of these activities can put strain on your back. Maybe you’re dealing with lower back pain that flares up after raking leaves, or perhaps upper back pain is making your morning commute more challenging. Whatever your story, you’re not alone. Back pain is one of the most common issues we see, affecting people of all ages and activity levels in our area.

How Back Pain Therapy Can Help You

At Athletico Physical Therapy – Northbrook-Downtown, our approach to physical therapy for back pain is all about personalized care. We know that every back—and every life—is different. That’s why we start by listening to you: What’s your pain like? When does it bother you most? What activities do you want to get back to?

Our licensed physical therapists use proven techniques to address a range of back pain concerns, including:

  • Lower back pain from daily wear and tear or sudden injuries
  • Upper back pain caused by posture or repetitive movements
  • Muscle strains after shoveling, yardwork, or sports

  • Rehabilitation after a sports injury or accident

We’ll guide you through lower back stretches and the best lower back exercises designed to strengthen, stabilize, and support your spine. Our focus is on helping you learn how to alleviate lower back pain and prevent it from coming back—so you can get back to your favorite Northbrook activities, whether that’s golfing at Sportsman’s Country Club or just playing with your kids in the backyard.
