In need of a physical therapist or something that will help me work through lower back pain. My general practitioner told me to "google some lower back stretching exercises and do those." Needless to say I will also be seeking a new GP but that's not the goal today.

Doesn't have to be a physical therapist, but looking for relief that doesn't require 3 visits/week for 3 weeks or some crazy money grab. Thanks!

I was just coming here to recommend Airossti as well! My pain was a lower lumbar sprain that would keep flaring up after my workouts. After only 2 Airossti visits, the pain is finally gone.

Airrosti

As TSUAggie said, it's sometimes a painful treatment, but that's because they are working in the soft tissue and actually working through the issue instead of just treating the symptoms.

For me, on my first visit, I had my hip flexors "stretched out", if you will. I sit at a desk all day so my hip flexors are naturally in a shortened position for most of the day. The Airrosti therapist warned me it was one of their top 5 treatments when it comes to level of discomfort, and he wasn't kidding. That being said, it was only a few minutes of him pushing in to the tissue to stretch it out and I felt immediate improvement.
They also work with you on stretches, foam rolling/lacrosse ball rolling and give you a treatment plan to continue at home.

Not trying to be an ass but did you google some lower back stretches and do those for any period of time? I had a similar issue, my GP gave me similar advice, but pointed me to types of stretches and said if that didn't fix it she'd send me to Airrosti. Lucky for me the stretched worked so I never went. I worked through at 15-20 stretching routine for 2-3 weeks

I was fearful that my back was going to go out any moment. It was beyond the googling of lower back stretches, otherwise I probably would not have been alarmed at the advice. I was having trouble getting dressed every morning.

The chiropractor I went to did 6 sessions in two weeks and it was a rollercoaster of relief to pain. Haven't seen him in a few and my back pain is resolved for now but if it comes back then I'm going to Airrosti. That's what I have heard really works!

Yep. Dr Santos, airrosti.

Does Airrosti require you to be referred to them by another doctor?

Seconded. These guys know what's up.

Sounds like you've got a plan, but I'll also through a plug for Airrosti. Wife went there for some hip issues and she's been really impressed with what they helped her with.

Third Marcos at 3D. I'm seeing him pre shoulder surgery on the recommendation of a guy I know that is going through the same program Marcos did. Have loved him since day 1. Everyone there is very nice and their facility is very clean.

Sounds like a few consistent, solid suggestions here. Appreciate you all!
