Support your recovery plan
Your lower back pain is affecting how you sit at work, how you sleep at night, and whether you can pick up your kids or walk your dog without discomfort. In Elm Grove, treatment at Ares Physical Therapy starts with a full movement assessment that looks at your spine, hips, and core to identify why your back hurts and what compensations your body has developed over time.
Your board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy performs every session and uses manual therapy to restore spinal mobility, core stabilization exercises to support your spine, and movement retraining to eliminate the patterns causing your pain. If your back pain is related to a disc herniation, sciatica, or sacroiliac joint dysfunction, your treatment plan is adapted to address those specific conditions.
If you are tired of temporary relief and want a plan that actually solves the problem, contact Ares Physical Therapy in Elm Grove to schedule your lower back pain evaluation.

Why does my back pain keep coming back?
Recurring back pain often means the underlying mobility, strength, load tolerance, or movement pattern issue has not been fully addressed.
Will I have to avoid lifting?
Usually the goal is not permanent avoidance. Therapy helps you relearn safe loading strategies and build capacity for the activities you value.
Yes. Treatment can address stiffness, weakness, posture habits, and movement breaks that affect symptoms during desk work and daily life.
Manual therapy may be used to reduce stiffness and pain, then paired with core stabilization and movement training for lasting improvement.
When should I expect progress?
Many people feel early relief, but durable improvement comes from combining symptom relief with strength, mobility, and better movement habits.
Start your therapy now
During your first visit to Ares Physical Therapy in Elm Grove, your therapist evaluates how your spine moves, how your hips and thoracic spine contribute to stress on your lower back, and whether your core is activating properly during movement. You receive manual therapy to release tight muscles and restore joint mobility, followed by exercises that teach your core to stabilize your spine during daily activities.
After a few weeks of treatment, you will notice that bending over to tie your shoes no longer triggers sharp pain. You will sit through meetings or car rides without needing to constantly shift positions. You will sleep through the night without waking up because your back feels locked up. These changes happen because your spine is moving correctly and your core is doing its job.
Your treatment may include dry needling to release deep muscle trigger points, cupping therapy to improve blood flow and tissue quality, and postural education for how you sit, stand, and lift. If your back pain is related to hip mobility restrictions or weak glutes, your therapist addresses those areas so your lower back is not compensating for other joints.
