About Us

• When it comes to rehabilitation, few things are more important than physical therapy! Success in movement is accomplished through our process of functional progression. Many spine rehabilitation therapists and trainers jump right into strengthening without effective progression. This is a mistake it often leads to a false sense of stability and a relapse into the same condition. If youre looking for a good physical therapy program and live in the Rockville, Maryland area, Advanced Spine & Wellness offers what you need! Our Physical Therapy: A Unique Approach In our physical therapy, we take a unique approach to maximize safety, expedite recovery, and prevent relapses. The five phases of functional progression help reduce postural distortions to create mobility, stability, strength, and control of skilled movements. Each patient progresses at his or her own pace. The key component is that each phase must be performed efficiently prior to moving to the next phase. Each phase overlaps to allow for seamless improvement. Pain Relief & Mobility: The goal is to achieve normal ranges of motion without pain. You set yourself up for a relapse or a false sense of security if you attempt to strengthen your muscles without mobility. Mobility & Stability: Once pain relief is achieved, the goal shifts to developing core strength and proper posture. Our physical therapists aim to teach new movement capabilities. Control Mobility: This is when one is able to maintain core strength and proper posture during movement. Control Mobility & Skill: This is a more progressed phase because skill implies changing your environment (surface or resistance). Tools such as Bosu balls, stability balls, bands, etc. are introduced to challenge control mobility. Skill: This phase centers on the conscious and unconscious aspects of balance and coordination through more challenging movements and different environmental stimuli. We are focused on helping you eliminate your pain without drugs or su
