THE PRECISION ASSESSMENT PROCESS
Our Precision Back Pain Assessment follows Dr. Stuart McGill's research-proven methodology (BackFit Pro) designed to identify your specific pain triggers with scientific accuracy. Each step builds upon the previous one, creating a comprehensive evaluation that addresses your unique pain patterns and movement dysfunction. This systematic approach ensures we target the actual source of your back pain, not just temporary symptom relief.
PAIN TRIGGER IDENTIFICATION
Through detailed movement analysis and provocation testing, we identify the specific movements, postures, and activities that trigger your back pain.
MOVEMENT PATTERN ASSESSMENT
We evaluate your spine's mobility, stability, and motor control patterns to understand how your body compensates for dysfunction.
SAFE POSITION OF RESPITE
We establish safe positions and movements that provide immediate relief when your back pain flares up, giving you control over acute episodes.
CORRECTIVE STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT
Based on your specific triggers and patterns, we create a personalized plan that addresses root causes while building spine resilience.
PROGRESSIVE REHABILITATION
We design a step-by-step program that safely reintroduces activities and movements, ensuring long-term recovery without fear of re-injury.
MEASURABLE RELIEF
Precision Back Pain Assessment transforms your understanding of why your back hurts by revealing the hidden movement patterns and triggers that keep you trapped in cycles of pain. We decode your body's unique dysfunction and create a personalized roadmap that doesn't just mask symptoms but eliminates them at their source.

ACUTE BACK EPISODES
Our assessment identifies your specific pain triggers and establishes immediate relief positions, giving you control when acute episodes strike. By understanding exactly what movements provoke your pain, you'll know how to avoid flare-ups and manage symptoms effectively.
CHRONIC LOWER BACK PAIN
Precision assessment reveals the underlying movement patterns and postural habits that perpetuate chronic pain cycles. We address root causes rather than symptoms, creating lasting relief through targeted corrective strategies and spine stabilization.
DISC-RELATED ISSUES
Using Dr. McGill's research-proven approach, we identify movements that aggravate disc problems and develop safe loading strategies. Our method helps reduce disc pressure while building the protective muscle patterns needed for long-term spinal health.
WORK-RELATED BACK PAIN
At Apex, we analyze how your daily work postures and other activities contribute to back pain, then develop practical solutions that fit your lifestyle. From desk ergonomics to movement breaks, we create sustainable strategies that prevent pain during your day.
POST-INJURY RECOVERY
Our comprehensive assessment ensures safe return to activities after back injury by identifying residual movement dysfunctions and building spine resilience. We create a progressive plan that restores confidence, relieves pain, and prevents re-injury through proper movement retraining.
