Back Pain, Neck Pain, Headaches and Migraines.

What do back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines have in common? Manual Physical Therapy and Myofascial Release can positively effect and help people who have these conditions. Everyone is unique, and everyone is different, however there is typically a postural deficit present, such as a forward head or tilted pelvis, soft tissue (muscle and fascia) restriction and joint restrictions. At LeBauer Physical Therapy in Greensboro, NC we provide a thorough evaluation to identify and touch the painful areas and then look elsewhere for the cause or factors that are contributing to your condition. Our goal is to help you reduce your pain and symptoms while teaching you self treatment strategies to help you take control of your health and reduce your symptoms when they are present.

Beat Stress in 3 Easy Steps.


  1. Exercise – Exercise releases endorphins, helps us sleep better, and the effects last. Take a brisk walk first thing in the morning, during your lunch hour, or after work. 20 minutes a day will do wonders for your health.
  2. Take an Epsom Salt Bath- Add 1 or 2 cups of Epsom salt to your bath water for a tension relieving, muscle soothing hot bath. Add 1 cup Epsom salt to a large mixing bowl for the ultimate foot soak. Epsom salts can be bought at your local grocery or drug store. You can also add a few drops of lavender oil to enhance the experience and your relaxation.
  3. Massage and Physical Therapy – The benefits of massage and hands on manual physical therapy are numerous, and a massage and myofascial reelase relieve tension, headaches, muscle aches, pain and stress. A professional massage can do wonders for stress and tension. You can also trade a neck and shoulder massage with a friend or your partner. Self massage is beneficial too. Lean against a wall with a tennis ball between your shoulder blades for a quick tension buster.
