Living in Tucson means enjoying warm, sunny days, breathtaking mountain views, and an active lifestyle that’s as vibrant as our community itself. Whether you’re hiking in Sabino Canyon, tending your backyard garden, or keeping up with the grandkids at a local park, you know how important it is to feel your best. But when back pain strikes—from the sharp twinge of lower back pain after a round of golf to the stubborn ache that lingers after a walk along the Rillito River—it can put a halt to the activities you love. That’s where Back Pain Therapy at Athletico Physical Therapy – Tucson (Northwest La Cholla) comes in. We’re here to help you find lasting relief and get you back to enjoying everything Tucson has to offer, no matter the season.

Understanding Your Back Pain: You’re Not Alone

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people in Tucson seek physical therapy. From lower back pain that flares up after yard work to upper back pain caused by long hours at a desk, it can affect anyone—no matter your age or activity level. Our dry climate and active community mean that sometimes muscles and joints can get stiff or overused, especially during those hot summer months or cooler winter mornings. But you don’t have to simply “deal with it” or miss out on your favorite activities.

At Athletico Physical Therapy – Tucson (Northwest La Cholla), we believe in a personal approach to back pain therapy. Every person’s pain is different, and so is every solution.

We focus on evidence-based physical therapy for lower back pain and upper back pain, guiding you step by step toward real improvement.

Our back pain therapy isn’t just about managing pain in the moment—it’s about equipping you with tools for long-term relief and prevention. We’ll teach you the best lower back stretches and best lower back exercises for your unique needs, all while making sure you feel supported and empowered.
