Where Is Your Pain?
Pain can make it harder to work, exercise, sleep, walk comfortably, play a sport, or keep up with your normal routine.
At Seva Physical Therapy & Wellness Clinic, we start by learning what you are experiencing and how it affects your daily life. Your physical therapist evaluates relevant factors such as mobility, strength, movement patterns, and function to develop a plan based on your individual needs.
Select an area on the body to learn more about the conditions we treat:
Lower Back
Common Conditions: Sciatica, Lumbar Disc Herniation, Stenosis & SI Joint Pain
Low back pain can have many contributing factors. Your evaluation looks at mobility, strength, movement, activity demands, and other relevant factors to develop a plan based on your needs and goals.
The Root-Cause Advantage: Lasting relief comes from understanding the “why” behind your pain. With over 25 years of combined clinical experience, our team identifies and corrects kinetic chain imbalances rather than applying temporary fixes.
Head and Neck
Neck pain can affect everyday movements such as turning your head, working at a computer, exercising, or sleeping comfortably. Physical therapy may help address mobility, strength, posture, and movement factors related to your symptoms.
Explore Back & Spine CareUpper Back
Upper back discomfort may develop gradually or follow an injury, repetitive activity, prolonged positions, or changes in movement. We assess relevant mobility, strength, and movement factors to develop an individualized treatment plan.
Explore Back & Spine CareShoulder or Clavicle

Unsure which service fits your condition?
Our physical therapists perform an initial consultation to guide you toward the right path of care.
One-on-One Physical Therapy Focused on You
No two patients come to physical therapy with exactly the same problem, lifestyle, or goals. That is why care at Seva Physical Therapy & Wellness Clinic starts with an individual assessment and a treatment plan designed around you.
Your physical therapist takes time to understand your symptoms, movement, strength, mobility, activity level, and the tasks you want to return to. Treatment can then be adjusted as you progress rather than following the same routine for every patient.
Looking Beyond Where It Hurts
The area where you feel pain is not always the only factor affecting how you move. Your assessment may consider mobility, strength, movement patterns, previous injuries, activity demands, and other relevant factors. This helps your therapist develop a more complete picture of what may be contributing to your limitations.
Care That Changes With Your Progress
Physical therapy is not a fixed program. Your therapist monitors how you respond to treatment and adjusts exercises, hands-on care, and activity progression based on your needs and goals.
Whether addressing back/knee pain, post-surgical rehab, or pelvic health, the goal is greater confidence.
