Do you recognize these complaints?
Pain or stiffness in your neck, upper or lower back can hinder you considerably. Sometimes the pain even radiates to your arms or legs. Fortunately, in most cases there is no permanent damage. In fact, neck and back pain can often be influenced. By staying active and being aware of your lifestyle, you can do a lot yourself to reduce or prevent complaints.
We treat a wide range of neck and back problems, including:
- Nonspecific low back pain or lumbago
- Hernia or sciatica (with radiation to the leg)
- Neck pain (with or without radiation to the arm)
- Complaints after sudden movement, lifting or prolonged sitting
- Muscle tension due to stress or workload
Our approach at Sento Medical Physical Therapy
At Sento Medical Physiotherapy in Amsterdam Center, we look beyond just the pain spot. We look for the underlying cause of your symptoms. That cause can come from overuse, unilateral posture, stress, fatigue, little movement or an unexpected movement. With our guidance you learn to use your body well again and to reduce or even prevent complaints.
We always start with a comprehensive 50-minute intake. We listen carefully to your story and do a physical examination to determine the possible cause of your symptoms.
Then together, we draw up a personalized treatment plan. This usually consists of a combination of:
- Exercise therapy for strength, mobility and flexibility
- Posture and movement advice
- Manual techniques and muscle relaxation
- Coaching for stress-related complaints
- Exercises via Physitrack (you get these via an app, at no extra cost!)
We work purposefully and take into account your daily activities and work environment. We give you insight and control over your recovery, so that you learn to listen better to your body and can prevent complaints yourself in the future.
