But when back pain strikes, even the simplest joys can feel out of reach. If you find yourself hesitating before getting out of bed, skipping your favorite activities, or struggling with that nagging ache after a day around Lake Arlington, you’re not alone.

Understanding Back Pain in Prospect Heights
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people in our community seek physical therapy. Whether you’re dealing with lower back pain from lifting heavy bags of mulch for your garden, or that sharp twinge in your upper back after a long commute on Palatine Road, it’s easy for daily routines to turn into sources of discomfort. The changing Illinois weather can also play a part—cold snaps often make stiff joints feel worse, and summer activities can sometimes lead to overuse or muscle strain.
Physical therapy for lower back pain and upper back pain is more than just a set of exercises. It’s about understanding your unique story, your routine, and what you want to get back to. Our approach isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about helping you move with confidence, whether you’re cheering at a Prospect High School game, playing with your kids at Lions Park, or simply walking your dog on familiar neighborhood sidewalks.

We’ll guide you through the best lower back exercises and stretches for your situation, showing you how to alleviate lower back pain both in our clinic and at home.
