How TRIA Neck and Back Strengthening works

During your first visit, you’ll meet with one of our physical therapists. We’ll perform a physical exam, talk with you about your symptoms and ask questions about your medical history. We will also perform a spinal strength evaluation. During this evaluation, you’ll be seated in specialized MedX rehabilitation equipment designed to safely isolate your muscles. We’ll ask you to use different muscles so we can measure your strength and get a better understanding of your overall spinal fitness.

As part of the program, we’ll create a personalized physical therapy plan just for you. This plan will include exercises that use MedX exercise machines that target specific muscles that support your spine, patient education around your condition and a cognitive approach to behavior changes to help you be successful. This is a holistic program that works with your body and mind as you heal.

In most cases, you’ll have physical therapy twice a week for 6-12 weeks. During that time, you’ll get hands-on care and training from our physical therapy team. Then, you’ll transition to a home program. And if you want to keep using specialized exercise equipment, you may decide to join TRIA CORE.
