The Problem
 

Why Does Your Back Pain
Keep Coming Back?

Most people try everything! Rest, stretching, even traditional PT and still find themselves back where they started. Here's why...

 
🎯

You're Treating the Symptoms,
Not the Cause

Generic heat packs and cookie-cutter exercise sheets mask the pain temporarily. Without identifying the underlying movement dysfunction or weakness driving your back pain, it's only a matter of time before it returns...often worse.

⏱️

You're Rushed Through a
High-Volume Clinic

Traditional insurance-based PT often means 15-minute visits, handoffs to an aide, and a one-size-fits-all program. If you've felt like just a number, your care and your results have likely suffered for it.

🛑

You're Told to Rest When
You Should Be Moving

Passive treatment and extended rest are rarely the answer for lasting back pain relief. Without the right strength work and movement strategy, you stay stuck in a cycle of flare-ups that keep you off the field and away from the life you want.

Bar none, best PT around. This is not your typical PT mill. These are active athletes with degrees. They have actual experience in the activity you're trying to get back to. Your success is their priority.

They are so much more than your regular 'physical therapy.' As a nurse, I have back issues at times. Their knowledge exceeds standard teaching. They look at the whole situation, not just the area that bothers you.

Back Pain FAQs

Frequently Asked
Questions

Everything you need to know before your first visit to ProForm Physical Therapy in Salisbury.

Do I need a doctor's referral to be seen?

No. Massachusetts allows direct access to physical therapy, which means you can schedule your evaluation at ProForm without a physician referral or MRI. You can start getting help today.

Do you accept insurance?

ProForm is a cash-based, self-pay practice. We do not bill insurance directly. This model allows us to offer longer visits, more personalized care, and better outcomes typically in fewer total sessions than an insurance-based clinic. Many patients find the total cost is comparable or less when factored against copays and the number of visits required elsewhere.

What does a first visit look like?

Your first visit is a comprehensive 60-minute, 1-on-1 evaluation with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. We'll assess your movement, strength, and the root cause of your back pain then walk you through a clear, personalized plan to get you better.

How is ProForm different from other PT clinics?

Every session at ProForm is 60 minutes with your licensed PT. You are never handed off to an aide or assistant. Our approach integrates manual therapy, dry needling, strength training, and movement-based rehab to address why you're in pain, not just where it hurts.

What back conditions do you treat?

We treat a wide range of spine-related conditions including low back pain, sciatica, disc injuries, mid back pain, neck pain, postural pain from desk work, and post-surgical rehab. If you're unsure whether we can help, call us. We're happy to talk it through.

What are your hours and where are you located?

We're open Tuesday through Thursday from 7 AM to 7 PM and Friday from 7 AM to 12 PM. We're located at 175 Elm St Unit C, Salisbury, MA 01952. You can also reach us at (978) 255-4238 or [email protected].
