Back Builder Physical Therapy
At Triangle Spine and Back Care Center, we believe that building a strong back is one of the most important parts of a patient’s recovery. It’s for that reason that our Back Builder Physical Therapy program is such a valuable part of our approach to spinal rehabilitation. Our unique ability to offer our patients on-going and on-site physical therapy maximizes their effective, recovery.
The physical therapists at Back Builder are highly trained and specialize in treating back and neck injuries and related ailments. Our therapists use exercise, manual therapy, and modalities to strengthen the muscles of the back and reduce pain. To learn more about our Physical Therapists see the Staff Profile section.

With a focus on prevention, we strive to give our patients the knowledge they need to stay pain and injury-free.
In addition to traditional therapy, we offer a variety of Wellness Programs, including Pilates and Cardio-Kickboxing. Learn more about the Wellness Classes being offered at Back Builder.
FCE Certified
A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is an important series of tests that enable our physicians to determine a patient’s level of rehabilitation. By evaluating a patient’s ability to return to work and the level at which he or she should participate in work activities, an FCE identifies job descriptions and safe working conditions which can prevent re-injury.
