Back Pain and Stiffness Treatment
Don’t sacrifice the lifestyle you desire over problems that can be fixed. That’s why we made this just for you.
A Message From Jocelyn Besa White, PT, DPT, CLT, Founder Of Direct Physical Therapy
- Are you worried about back pain & stiffness that doesn’t go away no matter how much ice and heat you use?
- Are you frustrated that stretching and foam rolling hasn’t worked?
- Are you having trouble keeping up with your family and friends and you're missing out on life?
- Are you still looking for a long-term solution so you can get back to the life you want to live?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you are in the right place!
Many people in Orange City, Sanford, or Debary, FL suffer unnecessarily with back pain and stiffness because they’re told…
- Just “rest” and it’ll be fine (then months later they’re still suffering…).
- It’s “normal” with age.
- If you take some pills everything will be fine.
- Surgery and injections are the only options.
The Truth Is...
- Resting it doesn’t change anything. You might get a small temporary relief, but then when you get active again, you’ll still be suffering from back pain (I bet you’ve already experienced it!).
- It’s not normal to get back pain and stiffness as you get older!
- Pain medication is addicting, dangerous, and can cause a lot of other problems with your body.
- Surgery and injections are not the only options. They’re just the only options your surgeon can offer you.
At Direct Physical Therapy We Specialize In Helping Men And Women Who Are experiencing chronic pain and long-term conditions by providing compassionate, one on one, and expert care so they can overcome their symptoms, regain control of their life, and get back to the things they love to do.
It can be very confusing to decide exactly what you should do if you have back pain and stiffness. You’ve likely heard a lot of options such as…
- A family member tells you to try a certain stretch
- A colleague mentions going to a massage therapist
- The “experts” on YouTube recommend doing a certain exercise
- A friend suggests going to a yoga class
- All while the doctor tells you to rest and take some pills
It’s overwhelming to try to make a decision with all these choices…
What will happen if you don’t make the right one?
Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next.
They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action.
When It Comes To Solving Something Serious Like A Back Injury…
You must choose the right provider for your health. If you don’t, you could end up getting dangerous surgery (when it was unnecessary) or being dependent on addicting painkillers the rest of your life.
Getting the “least-invasive”, most natural treatment is VITAL to you stopping your back pain and keeping it from ever coming back.
To do that, you have to not just treat the pain, but have a provider who is willing to figure out WHY the pain happened in the first place. That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your problems.
At Direct Physical Therapy we’ve created a 3 step process to get rid of your pain AND make sure it doesn’t come back again.
Step #1 - We Want To Listen To Your Story
Our medical system is frustrating. You wait weeks, sometimes months, for an appointment, only to get to talk to the doctors for 10 minutes before they have to run to the next patient and you’re left sitting there wondering, “What just happened?”
Even most physical therapy clinics operate this way. They’re not attentive, they’re fast-paced, and your therapist doesn’t have time to actually touch where you hurt.
This is why our first step is to listen to your story.
After working with lots of people with back pain and stiffness, we know that no two people are alike. Each person has a different body, a different history, and different types of pain.
That is why our first step is to have an open conversation and time for you to tell your story. That way we get a deep understanding of what’s going on not just with your body, but also how it’s impacting your life.
Step #2 - Find Out WHY Back Pain Started
Many people have a diagnosis, or medical term for what’s going on with their body. Maybe their doctor gave it to them, maybe tests showed the diagnosis, or maybe you found it online.
You could have been told that your only choice was to rest, take painkillers, or start thinking about surgery.
Sometimes, those things bring temporary relief, but they’re not addressing what CAUSED the problem in the first place.
Every person’s cause of back pain is different. No one has the exact same problem caused by the exact same thing as another person.
Our goal at Direct Physical Therapy is to find that original cause of your pain, so not only does your back pain go away, it STAYS AWAY!
We understand that you still might be skeptical or unsure if physical therapy is right for you. That’s why we created a Free 15 Minute Consultation. (Yes! That means it’s ON US!)
Our Free 15 Minute Consultations are meant specifically for those people who are skeptical, unsure, or have even been let down in the past. During the Free 15 Minute Consultation you’ll find out what’s wrong, how long it’s going to take to fix it, and give you peace of mind that your problem can be fixed naturally!
Step #3 - Get Rid Of The Pain & Keep It From Coming Back
This is when the big transformation occurs. We develop a personalized plan that allows you to…
…get back to exercising without fear of back pain and stiffness coming back.
…be able to get back to your workouts.
…be able to go that extra mile on that walk.
…get back to playing with your grandkids.
…get back to your pre-injury lifestyle you love.
Our best clients are those who are motivated and ready to win back their active lifestyle. (Even if they feel stuck right now!)
Want to know more about our availability and costs before making any commitment to coming in?
You don’t have to sacrifice the activities you love over problems that can be fixed.
Sincerely,

What Other People Just Like You Are Saying About Direct Physical Therapy in Orange City, Sanford, Debary, or DeLand, FL ...
- Tiffany B.
“I had lower back pain that was stopping me from lifting heavy to compete for a powerlifting competition. I worked with both Jose and Jocelyn and within a few sessions I felt like new. I was able to compete without any back pain and won first place female and 3 national records. Kim, Jose, and Jocelyn made me feel very welcomed and cared for. I highly recommend going to DPT Physical Therapy to anyone! Thank you DPT Physical Therapy for fixing me up!”
- Leah B.
“Women with hip tightness/hip pain, pelvic pain, continence issues, or lower back pain…GO to DPT! Do not hesitate! Megan Loso, Christin Caviness, and Jocelyn Besa are amazing physical therapists. They are so compassionate but also straight forward & tough. I was really worried I wouldn’t be able to tend to my large garden anymore after I developed chronic pain in my hips, legs, knees and shins. They uncovered layers of muscle tightness, muscle weakness, and compensation that I had developed to deal with untreated issues.”
