Low Back Pain

Evidence-Based Care That Comes to You

Physical therapy is a first-line treatment for acute and chronic low back pain. 

MVMT + BALANCE provides one-on-one mobile physical therapy for low back pain in the Kansas City area, focusing on pain relief, improved mobility, strength, and long-term recovery. 

Why Physical Therapy Is the First-Line Treatment

Clinical guidelines consistently recommend conservative care — including physical therapy — before imaging, injections, or surgery in most cases of non-specific low back pain.

Physical therapy addresses the root cause of pain rather than masking symptoms. Treatment focuses on restoring normal movement patterns, improving strength, and reducing mechanical stress on the spine.

Benefits of physical therapy include:

• Reduced pain intensity

• Improved mobility and flexibility

• Increased core strength and spinal stability

• Faster return to daily activities

• Lower risk of recurrence

• Reduced reliance on pain medication

Comprehensive Low Back Evaluation

Your treatment begins with a detailed assessment, including:

• Movement and posture analysis

• Lumbar spine mobility testing

• Core strength evaluation

• Hip and pelvic alignment assessment

• Nerve involvement screening

• Functional movement analysis (lifting, bending, sitting tolerance)

This allows us to identify the specific mechanical drivers of your pain and develop a personalized rehabilitation plan.
