Build a Stronger Back

Back pain affects over 31 million Americans and is the second most common reason for visits to the doctor’s office. Back pain takes the fun out of life. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back – back health that is!

In order to keep your body healthy and your muscles and joints flexible and pain-free, try these soft-tissue exercises. These can be done with a lacrosse ball or another rubber ball on the wall. Nourish your muscles so you can get back to doing the things you love.

In order to build a stronger back, you have to keep your muscles loose. Try these exercises to increase circulation. Massage each tight muscle for 1-2 minutes focusing pressure on the tender spots.

If you are experiencing back pain now, call today to be seen within one week for an evaluation. Our PTs can get you started on a treatment plan quickly, so you can eliminate your pain and get back to the activities you enjoy.

Building strength and increasing bone density with BRIO

After she was diagnosed with osteoporosis in March, Gwen Maniscalco knew she had to change her lifestyle to strengthen her muscles and reduce the risk of fractures in the future. She had previously been diagnosed with osteopenia, but over the last two years, she developed osteoporosis. The osteoporosis diagnosis was a wake-up call. Gwen knew she had to return to Baudry Therapy Center and get back on the “exercise-wagon“ to build muscle strength and increase bone density.

Gwen had always been active and enjoyed activities such as Pilates, bowling, walking, and exercise, but her fitness routine had become less frequent last year due to the pandemic.

Baudry’s physical therapist, Lauren Talley, listened to her diagnosis and her concerns. Together, they created a customized exercise plan. Each time Gwen would meet her physical therapy goals, Lauren would push the target. This progressive physical therapy plan helped Gwen increase her muscle strength and balance.

“I started balancing on one foot on flat ground, but by the end of my physical therapy, Lauren had me balancing on one foot on a foam platform,” said Gwen. “She continually encouraged me to accomplish more. I could definitely feel the burn.”

“Baudry Therapy Center gave me the confidence to return to strength training which I continue now with my BRIO program. I have already recommended Baudry Therapy Center to several of my friends who have also been diagnosed with osteoporosis.”
