Struggling to Stay Active
Your back pain is keeping you from running, lifting, golfing, or simply playing with your kids without worry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about back pain physical therapy in Columbus, OH.
Do I need a referral to start physical therapy for back pain?
No! Ohio is a direct access state, which means you can see a physical therapist without a physician referral. At Vine Performance Therapy, you can book your free phone consultation or first appointment directly—no prescription needed.
How long does it take to see results from physical therapy for back pain?
Many patients notice improvement after just one or two sessions, but lasting relief typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on the severity of your condition and how closely you follow your personalized treatment plan. Our goal is to not only relieve your pain but also give you the tools to prevent future flare-ups.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit will include a comprehensive evaluation where we assess your movement, strength, flexibility, and pain patterns. We’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and lifestyle to create a personalized treatment plan. Many patients begin hands-on therapy during their first session.
