Riser Physical Medicine

My low back pain is finally healing! My back pain started 4 months ago when I kicked up my heavy weightlifting training. As I progressed into pushing higher weight, my back started to hurt and my form really suffered. I started having such bad pain that I couldn't continue lifting in the same way. I tried everything to help it myself- rest, stretching, massage. It started to worsen until I felt high level pain every day.nnDr. Dave and Dr. Josh at Riser Physical Medicine in Hudson Yards did a comprehensive evaluation of my low back and hip mechanics. Together, we found out the painful area wasn't the root of the problem- hence why stretching and massaging didn't help. I needed Riser's expertise to realize the bigger problem was a weakness of other muscle groups. Dr. Josh's treatments of medical massage and mobilization coupled with exercise therapy has been amazing. Today I woke up and bent over with NO PAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS. Now I truly feel I can get back on track with my goals and return to training for higher level competitions.nnI can't thank you enough!
