Our Approach to Back Pain Therapy

‍Each session is focused on a specific aspect of your physical health, and recovery but prioritizing the areas most out of balance. The initial session will include a full body examination to identify imbalances and impairments. The next three sessions will focus on foundational principles of strength, flexibility, and recovery tailored to your goals. The final session will be a reassesment and discussion of where to go from here.

About Me

I am a passionate and skilled physical therapist who believes that in order to achieve optimal health, the entire body and mind must be addressed, and not just the parts that are hurting. I believe in the value of all healing sciences that my patients value, because I believe in hope. I strongly believe that the brain and spirit leads the body, and I pride myself in my ability to educate and empower people to take control of their own situation and well being, When belief and motivation combine with expert advice and manual skills, amazing things can happen. I have worked in home health, small private practice settings, and even large hospitals. Unfortunately, quality of care is often lost in all of these settings because they are beholden to the rules and compensations set by insurance companies, which can lead to both under and over providing of services. The reason I chose to start my own practice is so that I can use my own clinical judgement, experience, and intuition to determine what the person before me needs to live a better life. You will never hear from me that I can’t treat your shoulder because you are here for your back pain. Rather, you will learn from me how most injuries (especially chronic) are interrelated, and how helping one can help the other. When one can make connections between how we feel, think, and move, greater potential for recovery is unlocked. Please join me in a safe exploration of what it is that makes you hurt, and more importantly, what it is that makes you well.

Carol

“In a world where you are lucky to literally get the time of day from your average health care provider, Laird Reeds shatters the stereotype. It is to him that I largely owe the MUCH-improved function of my left foot. If you’ve ever had “complex regional pain” anywhere, you know there’s not much the medical world can offer but drugs and PT. Laird dug deep into his robust bag of physical therapy measures, following what seemed to be working and coaching me through an array of treatment options…all with genuine compassion & caring. I literally could not walk and was in constant pain 2 years ago. Now I walk every day – and swim. I will be forever grateful to Laird. And when the next body part is on the blink, I know where I’ll be headed.”

Andrea

“I was successfully treated by Laird for a torn rotator cuff. When I first met him and we reviewed my injury he said that he thought that he could probably get me back into swimming (one of my main goals) within 3 months. HE DID!!I found him to be VERY thorough, professional, and well informed about the needed exercises in terms of the appropriate progressions for my healing. As long as I did the exercises he prescribed I saw significant positive changes every week. In the time he spent with me he usually massaged and manipulated my shoulder, and reviewed my understanding of the current exercises frequently deleting some and adding more. I consider him a credit to his profession. On a personal level, Laird was always very positive. He listened and remembered what I shared with him in terms of the progression I observed especially those that pertained to my goals of returning to my swimming schedule. He explained the purpose of each exercise, the specific muscles, and bones involved in each exercise, and thus my sessions with him were a educational as well as therapeutic. I HIGHLY recommended Laird. I have recommended Laird to many of my friends. Would I return should I need further therapy – YES and without a second thought. THANK YOU Laird.”

Mark

“I have seen Laird Reeds for the past few months for my neck issues. I went in with tingling and numb hands and fingers, and left feeling fantastic. I have been to other PT offices where they tell you what to do, walk away and return in time to check you out. Laird is with you 100% of the time, explains how and why he has me do certain therapies, and when you leave you feel awesome. He is professional, thorough and very knowledgeable of his profession. Thank you Laird.”
