What Is Back Pain?
At Sisu Physical Therapy, we know back pain isn’t only about what you feel in your back. It can start to affect how you move, work, exercise, and enjoy everyday life.
It might make it harder to get moving first thing in the morning. You might find yourself avoiding bending, lifting, or certain exercises. Activities you once enjoyed, like golf, pickleball, running, or playing with your kids or grandkids, can gradually become more difficult.
Sometimes, it’s not severe enough to stop you completely. It’s simply always there, nagging in the background and making everyday activities less enjoyable.
Whatever it looks like, understanding what may be contributing to your back pain is an important first step toward moving forward.
What are the symptoms of Back Pain?
Back pain doesn’t feel the same for everyone. The location, intensity, and type of discomfort can vary considerably from person to person.
Common symptoms can include:
- Sharp discomfort in the lower or middle back
- A dull or persistent ache
- Stiffness or difficulty getting moving
- Discomfort when bending, lifting, sitting, or standing
- Symptoms that travel into one or both legs
- Difficulty exercising or participating in sports
- Recurring discomfort that settles temporarily before returning
Some people experience symptoms for a few days, while others find themselves dealing with recurring or persistent problems for much longer.
The important question isn’t only, “Where does it hurt?”
We also want to understand why it’s happening and what might be preventing you from getting back to normal.

What Is Our Approach To Treating Back Pain?
Maybe you’ve already tried resting and waiting for your back to feel better.
Perhaps you’ve seen a doctor, had imaging, tried physical therapy or chiropractic care, or explored options such as injections. Sometimes these approaches help. Other times, the problem keeps returning.

We begin with a thorough evaluation designed to understand your symptoms, movement, lifestyle, previous experiences, and the activities you want to return to.
Our approach includes:
- Taking time to listen to your experience
- Assessing how your body moves
- Exploring factors that may be contributing to your symptoms
- Considering both physical and mental factors
- Developing an individualized plan based on your goals
- Progressing your movement as your abilities improve
Our goal is to look beyond temporary relief and help identify the factors that could be contributing to the problem.
Ultimately, we want to help you stay in the game and keep playing life, whatever that means to you.
