I recently visited the Theramax and was pleasantly surprised by their innovative approach to treating lower back pain using robotics. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and guided me through the process with care and expertise. The robot-assisted therapy was very precise and provided targeted relief to my lower back muscles. After a few sessions I felt immediate relief and alleviation. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking effective and cutting-edge treatment for their lower back pain.

How Lower Back Pain Disrupts Life in Miami
Work becomes torture: Your commute down LeJeune Road and sitting at your Doral desk for even 5 minutes becomes impossible when sharp pain radiates through your lower back, forcing you to stand constantly.
Sleepless nights: Too exhausted for morning walks at Alice Wainwright Park after lying in bed becomes agony as constant lower back pain prevents you from finding any comfortable position, disrupting your sleep night after night.
Simple tasks feel impossible: Bending to put on shoes, picking things up, or walking through Peacock Park or even sitting at Shula's Steak House becomes excruciating when sharp pain radiates through your lower back with every movement, limiting your mobility.
South Florida residents don't have to live this way.
What if the problem isn't your spine?
Many clients are surprised to learn their back pain may involve muscles in the front of their body, not just along the spine. Our robotic therapy is designed to work into deep areas that clients say other approaches never seemed to address.
Lower Back Pain Relief at TheraMax
Lower back pain is often associated with chronic tension in the deep muscles along the spine. Many clients describe it as a coiled spring that never unwinds, making sitting through a meal or sleeping through the night impossible. Our robotic therapy is designed to deliver sustained pressure into those deep, stubborn tension patterns that clients say other approaches never seemed to reach or address. Many tell us they finally start sitting and sleeping normally again when these areas are worked on consistently.
Clients often report they can:
Sit through work meetings and dinners without constant pain interrupting their concentration
Sleep through the night in any position without lower back pain waking them up
Return to daily activities like walking, bending, and playing with family pain-free

What Makes Our Approach Different
Swipe to compare treatment options
Chiropractor
Approach: Spinal adjustments to improve vertebral alignment and reduce nerve pressure
Timeframe: Multiple visits over weeks/months
Effectiveness: May provide temporary relief but may not address deep muscular tension
Weekly chiropractic visits may provide temporary relief, but adjustments focus on the spine, not the muscle tension that may be pulling it out of alignment. Many clients come to us to address that muscle tension piece.
Physical Therapy
Approach: Stretching exercises and core strengthening to reduce spinal stress
Timeframe: 8-12 weeks of sessions
Effectiveness: Can help mild cases but may not reach chronic deep muscle tension
Some clients tell us they tried PT for months but still felt stuck. Stretching and strengthening are great, but they don't address deep muscle tension directly. That's where our therapy comes in.
Injections & Surgery
Approach: Epidural steroid injections or spinal surgery for decompression
Timeframe: Recovery time varies by procedure
Effectiveness: Injections provide 3-4 months relief; surgery has long recovery and variable results
Epidural injections typically provide only 3-4 months of relief before symptoms return, while surgery carries significant risks and doesn't address muscular factors. Some clients try us before going down that path, others after.
Understanding Lower Back Pain
Your back pain may not be coming from your back
Most people assume lower back pain means something is wrong with their back muscles. But the psoas, a deep muscle that connects your lower spine to your legs, runs through the front of your body. When it's chronically tight, it can pull your spine forward and compress your lower vertebrae from the front. That's why stretching and strengthening the back muscles sometimes doesn't help.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to your questions about robotic therapy
I sit at a desk all day in Miami. Is that making my lower back pain worse?
Sitting for long periods can contribute to lower back tension. When you sit, the muscles in your lower back and hips stay compressed for hours. Over time, this can create tension patterns that don't release on their own. Many Miami desk workers who come to us describe that "locked up" feeling after sitting through meetings or commuting down LeJeune Road. Our robotic therapy is designed to work on those deep muscles that tighten from prolonged sitting.
What is the psoas and why do you focus on it?
The psoas is a deep muscle that connects your lower spine to your legs, running through the front of your body. Most people focus on their back muscles, but tension in the psoas can contribute to that deep, persistent lower back tightness that never seems to let up. Many clients are surprised when we explain this. Our robotic therapy is designed to reach deep muscles like the psoas that are difficult to access with stretching or manual massage.
I wake up stiff every morning. Can robotic therapy help with that?
Morning stiffness is one of the most common complaints we hear from clients in Downtown Miami, Wynwood, Little Havana, and across Miami. They describe lying awake at night unable to find a comfortable position, then waking up feeling worse than when they went to bed. Our robotic therapy is designed to work on the deep muscle tension that may be contributing to that stiffness. Many clients tell us their sleep improves as we work on those stubborn areas over multiple sessions.
I want to stay active in Miami. Should I stop exercising with lower back pain?
Not necessarily. Many clients come to us because they want to keep walking through Peacock Park, playing tennis at Miami Beach Tennis, or staying active, but their lower back pain is limiting them. Our approach isn't about resting until it goes away. We work on the muscle tension that may be contributing to your symptoms so you can get back to the activities you enjoy. Every situation is different, so we can discuss your specific routine during your session.
What should I expect at my first session in Miami?
Your first session at our Miami location is 60 minutes. We'll ask about your symptoms, what you've tried before, and what activities are being affected. Then we'll use our robotic system to work on the areas of tension. Most clients describe it as intense but tolerable pressure. Many feel some improvement after the first session, though lasting results typically require multiple sessions. Call (305) 849-6117 to schedule.
