Hip & Back Pain Physical Therapy in St. Augustine

Chronic hip or back pain controlling your life? Stop managing symptoms — find and fix the root cause.

Why It Matters

Understanding your recovery

Hip pain is often driven by the lower back, pelvis, or SI joint; back pain can stem from hip instability or pelvic misalignment. Traditional PT treats the painful spot. Nicole evaluates the whole body to find what's actually causing your symptoms.
