Did you know that the majority of patients at Nick Rinard Physical Therapy are actually returning patients referred from years ago, or have been referred by a past patient?
We have asked our patients how we compared to other PT they had tried. Here’s a small sample of what they had to say:
‘The other PT office was more like mass production-routing patients through.’ –Bryan
‘(Nick Rinard PT is) way better. You actually fix things. ’ -Georgeanne
‘Nick Rinard PT taught me how to fix the problem myself-other therapists didn’t.’ -Gail
Why is Nick Rinard Physical Therapy different?
-Specialized MDT training allows our physical therapists to target the cause of a patient’s pain, not just treat the symptoms.
-Patients see a physical therapist at each visit-never a PT Assistant.
-Exercises are simple and can be done anywhere. No gym, no binder full of exercises. Most of our patients can control their symptoms with just one targeted exercise!
Patients get the tools they need to succeed at Nick Rinard Physical Therapy!

When you’re in pain, it may seem that anything that is going to make you feel better seems worth it.
But will back surgery alleviate your pain?
And is it really the quickest route to recovery?
Many times, the answer to both these questions is no. It wasn’t hard to find just 2 patients recently who received back surgery and were still in a great deal of pain-you can read their results bellow.
“After discussing my lower back pain with my nurse practitioner she prescribed my visit to Nick Rinard PT and was adamant I tried their program. Considering I live 70 miles away from their clinic, that was a big ask. The very first visit I learned a great deal about why I was in pain and had a plan in place. By the second visit I already started to notice results.”
“My experience with Nick Rinard and his whole team has been completely positive. Nick’s approach to physical therapy is consistently effective, easy to follow, and I have seen lasing results. The overall reduction in pain, increase in strength and improvement in my sense of personal control over my ability to manage what was once severe and extreme pain is nothing short of a miracle.”
Some people do need to undergo back surgery, but why not try Nick Rinard Cert MDT physical therapy first? Within 4 visits, our trained therapists can have you on the road to recovery, or recommend a next step for you if physical therapy is not your best solution.
Considering back surgery?
ONLY when all other avenues have been exhausted!

Get Moving!
Check out this article from the American Physical Therapy Association which discusses new changes to activity guidelines from The US Department of Health and Human Services:
http://www.apta.org/PTinMotion/News/2018/11/13/HHSPAGuidelinesRevision/
To summarize the article in a paragraph: any movement is better than none. Inactivity and prolonged sedentary periods due to the conveniences of modern life are taking a toll on our health. People of all ages should get a minimum of 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity exercise.
So what is moderate intensity exercise? Moderate intensity exercise will noticeably elevated your heart and breathing rate but you should still be able to carry on a conversation. “You should be able to talk but not sing.” (ttps://www.verywellfit.com/what-is-moderate-intensity-exercise-3435400). Here are some great examples of exercises that fit this category: brisk walking, easy jogging, elliptical trainer, leisurely swimming, water aerobics, biking without steep hills, doubles tennis, gardening, and line dancing.
So let’s get moving!
-Margo Burette, PT, DPT
