Hunter and his team were so patient and willing to keep trying different things until something worked. These guys really are super duper

Affected with Vertigo day before leaving on vacation. The ActivePT were amazing- worked their schedule to get me in. Ashley was able to get me to the point where I could enjoy our vacation. Once I returned from vacation- had 2 more treatments and am good to go! Thank you Ashley and ActivePT- first class operation!!

Active PT was an excellent fit for me for physical therapy. There were the actual therapy sessions plus time for questions and learning the home exercises each time we met. My progress was carefully monitored. I highly recommend this PT center in Stewartville. Allie was very knowledgeable and so personable and professional.

I am so thankful for my 18 months with Kayla at Active PT. I originally went in because I had grinding in my spine. After the first 10 minutes of arriving to my appt, Kayla deduced it was due to misalignment with my hips, knees, and feet. After a few months of hard work, realignment, and muscle training, I was able to walk up the stairs without a railing, lift myself up off the floor with my feet, get into a lunge position, squat, all things I could NEVER do before meeting with Kayla. Each new milestone was a joyous success. I love the ability I now have to do the things I couldn't before. I now have the strength, balance, and motion to hike, and walk uphill on rocky terrains. Kayla set me up with the tools, resources, knowledge and confidence to continue to build my strength and realignment on my own. I am incredibly thankful for this change, and the ability to go forward to continue my progression. I highly recommend Active PT. Thank you Kayla! You changed my lifestyle, I am so grateful.

This was my first experience with physical therapy, so I was a little apprehensive, although I had heard good things about ActivePT from friends and colleagues. I am so happy with my decision to join ActivePT after my complex meniscus repair/ACL replacement surgery. The south location was convenient for me which allowed me to complete therapy over my lunch hour. Allie and Brittany are both incredibly kind and courteous. They listened carefully to my concerns and therapy goals and worked closely together to customize my home therapy routine to work on targeted areas. I could see my own progression and Allie and Brittany were my biggest cheerleaders! Their encouragement and expertise were pivotal to my recovery. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My overall experience has been amazing! The front desk staff are so welcoming and friendly. They are very helpful in rescheduling if needed, and reminding you of up coming appointments. My physical therapists, Ashley and Rebekah, have been wonderful at addressing my pain. They are great at listening and changing things up that match your needs. I originally went in for pain in my left shoulder and right hip from golf, but we had found out that there was much more to my body pain as it had started to spread to other parts. I ended up being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. The staff continued to help me through this process, and gave me great advice on how to maintain balance and a sensible lifestyle. I would highly recommend Active PT for multiple needs!

I'm so grateful for my friend, Peggy, who recommended Active PT to me because Amy and Garrison changed my life! I had the very fortunate pleasure of having Garrison and Amy help me work my way through some very long-standing problems I have had as a result of illness and surgeries. Garrison was so much fun to work with. Frankly, I was pretty hopeless when I came to him but was willing to try anything to get stronger. He was very kind and sympathetic and reassuring. I am continuing to get stronger and stronger with much better endurance. I loved the plan he helped me bring together because I can do these exercises at home, with exercise bands, for the rest of my life. I have still had some relapses due to a chronic condition, but I am easily able to pick right up nearly where i left off. I mean, the plan is easily adjustable to help me where I am on any given day. I'm NOT being overly dramatic by saying that Garrison AND Amy have given me my life back. I can't even begin to say how grateful I am. Now for Amy! What a bright, shining flower she is! She assisted me with pelvic floor issues that have increasingly been a problem due to five abdominal surgeries over the last 50 years. I'm not exaggerating! I had no idea how much scar tissue had built up in my abdomen over the years that contributed to my terrible posture and constricted muscles in my back, legs and abdomen. Amy was tireless in using a number of approaches to loosen up my the constricted muscles while strengthening the opposing muscles. Every single visit was filled with information and greatly increased my knowledge of how my body works, all with terrific results. She also was so positive and encouraging me every step of the way. I can still hear her saying, "Sue! You are doing so much better!!!" She warmed my heart and helped me heal in body, mind and soul. I know this review must sound wildly exaggerated, but I promise you it is not. I had no idea any of this was possible. Perhaps my husband should add to this review!! I'm sure he would 100% agree. I have my life back. Thanks you Amy and Garrison!!

Both my husband and I got the push we needed at ActivePT - Pine Island, with Dr. Drew Sathrum, to strengthen our bodies. The new facility is so clean and comfortable. He chose "dry needing" therapy for my arthritic knees and daily exercises for us individually. We are working on continuing them, plus he motivated us to get back on our excessive bike - now a daily habit. It has made a big difference as I have little to no knee pain now. Thanks to ActivePT and Dr. Drew Sathrum.

As an active woman in my 50’s I’ve had my share of mishaps. Active PT has fixed so many injuries I’ve had over the years! Whether it be my hip, back, elbow, shoulder, pelvic floor, and even my jaw, I’ve had top notch Physical Therapists at Active PT! (including Hunter, Brian, Jake, Caitlyn, and others). Every PT and staff person I’ve encountered have been very professional, highly skilled, personable, and genuinely care about getting a person back to their active life! Thank you Active PT!

20 stars!! Life altering! Kaitlyn Fischer is amazing! I have Ostopenia, Fibromyalgia, Tendonitis. Had a severe neck spasm. My Dr. at Mayo referred me to Active PT. Kaitlyn listened, asked questions, and evaluated. She provided hands on treatment that immediately relieved my pain. She provided and taught me stretches and movements that helped decrease my pain and increased my neck mobility. I do these stretches 1st thing every morning. WOW!! 4 appts over 2 weeks = PAIN FREE!!! I now have the tools AND knowledge that help me be proactive daily. Thanks Kaitlyn you are a gift!! ❤️

I ended up getting vertigo and my doctor said to start physical therapy. I called in Mankato and they said it will be 3 weeks plus I would need a referral. I called Active PT and they were so helpful with getting referral and Ashlee H seen me the same day! She went over everything regarding vertigo and answered all my questions. I felt better after the first session. I would highly recommend Ashlee and Active PT.

For the first time in a long time, I've found a platform that I can trust, thus I feel extremely safe investing my Bitcoin again. Having lost money on false trading platforms multiple times, I have to suggest Mrs. Patience Adamson Fx as the greatest account manager. Mrs. Patience Fx is a unique individual who is willing to go above and above for her customers. With a $1,500 investment, I realised a profit of $12500. She was also of great assistance in organizing the Patience Adamson Fx procedure. Her Whatsapp and mail is below for any assistance Email: patienceadamson482@gmail.com WhatsApp: +1 (240) 609-0157.

I also can’t say enough good about Active PT! I went in for sciatica pain(a common problem for me for years). Hunter, my PT, listened to me, tested me, relieved my pain in a couple of different hands on techniques and gave me exercises to do. I had a LONG plane ride to Germany coming up in 2+ weeks and I am happy to report that I had no sciatic pain sitting that long(11+hours)! That is amazing and a first! Thank you Hunter and Andrew!

Shout out to Active PT(Rochester North Branch) especially to my therapist Ashley who’s been soooooo nice and kind, she helped me a lot towards my recovery and the main reason why I can do the same activities I’ve been doing before without anymore pain after my neck injury. She’s so great and definitely one of the best. I would 110% recommend Active PT for those who are looking for one. The staff are so friendly and accommodating as well. Just THANK YOU SO MUCH 😘😘😘

I have been dealing with a neck/eye issue for over a year. As a last resort was directed to PT. Jarrod and the staff at Active PT are knowledgeable and compassionate about their work! I was fully unaware of all the modalities they use there having been in a medical profession myself for over 20 years. If only I had started with PT and was able to get this relief a year ago! Highly recommended!!

I can't say enough good things about this place.... The absolutely go above and beyond! They work so hard to accommodate my son's schedule since he is in school and attending PT twice a week. He had been doing PT in the pool and he has improved so much we now get to do PT in the RAC gym! I used to come here for Achilles tendonitis. I was barely walking when I started due to intense pain. It was a long process of therapy but they were amazing. Pain was almost completely gone when I stopped therapy. Now it is completely healed. I tried other places before but they did not help me at all. I am so glad I was told about Active PT from a friend! Friendly staff from the receptionists to every PT I worked with! You won't be disappointed!

I was in pure agony when I initially came to Active PT. Hunter’s skill and expertise helped to guide me back to normalcy. The most important piece of his care was that he truly listened to my symptoms and treated me accordingly. He taught me ways to stretch and strengthen in hopes to prevent further injury and even fit me in to a tight schedule on multiple occasions. 10/10 recommend Hunter at Active PT.

I cannot say enough great things about ActivePT! I injured my knee at the gym and gave it a few weeks of rest, hoping that was all I would need for recovery. The swelling persisted and I was having difficulty with going up and down stairs. I was recommended by a friend to try ActivePT. Kaitlyn, Johnny, and Morgan have been outstanding to work with! After my first couple appointments, I already had very noticeable improvement in the pain and swelling. I feel supported by the team, motivated to keep at it, and excited for what ActivePT will help me achieve.

All the staff I had contact with at Active PT were great! I mostly worked with Courtney H to help get back from a knee injury.

I've recovered well thanks to her.

Definitely a 5 Star Plus rating for ActivePT Rochester North. Everything about this place is first class -- the facility itself, the desk and office staff, the patient portal, and, of course, the physical therapists. My treatment, progress, and improvement exceeded my expectations. Sam did my initial evaluation and then Johnny continued the weekly evaluations, treatments, and treatment plans. He always included me in the decision making process making sure I was always aware of the plan and objectives. Thanks to Johnny this was a truly first class experience. He provided me with a comprehensive continuing exercise plan to improve and maintain my progress.

I saw Courtney at Active PT at the Progression CrossFit location for shoulder and hip issues. She was amazing! Courtney listened to my concerns, set goals, and coordinated my care with LeeAndra, my CrossFit coach at Progression. Dry needling and home exercises got me started on recovery, and we were able to practice movements in Progression’s gym. I’m now back to normal CrossFit workouts. In addition, LeeAndra continues to include movements in my workouts that reinforce the things Courtney taught me. I’m very happy with the care I received from Active PT.

Well, honestly, I think I could probably write a book. But I’ll try and keep this is Short as I can. So several years ago I had hip replacements done, which turned out to be pretty successful. However, I was having a lot of problems with my hip flexors. I also have a lot of arthritis in my knees. I was walking with a cane. Basically crawling up my flight of stairs, and really not doing much of anything except sitting around feeling sorry for myself. Then it was suggested to me that I contact my doctor for a referral for Active PT. She thought it was a great idea and thought well she’ll strengthen her leg enough so she can have knee surgery. I also have low back issues. And to top it off I’m 69 years old. Then I met a guy name Hunter.R at Active PT. He’s a knowledgeable guy! Who directed me with the right exercises to do for me. He used methods like cupping and dry needling, which I absolutely love. He listened to my every word. He’s kind and very respectful! I might add the full Active Pt team are amazing! Always positive and upbeat. You look forward to your sessions! They helped me be positive enough to join CrossFit. And I just graduated today with confidence to continue to do what I have been taught! Thank you Hunter!! Thank you ActivePT! Blessings to you all to continue to help others! Debbie

Active PT: A True Healing Family Navigating the recovery process after a knee revision can be daunting, especially when it's your third one. Recognizing the importance of physical therapy in regaining my range of motion, I embarked on a search for a therapist with experience in knee revision recovery. My search led me to Active PT and Brandon Boeck, and I'm so glad it did. From the moment I stepped through their doors, I felt welcomed and supported. The entire staff exudes a genuine warmth and care that made me feel like part of their extended family. Brandon, my physical therapist, stood out for his unwavering commitment to my recovery. Unlike previous therapists who had overlooked my maladaptive walking pattern, Brandon understood its impact on my overall well-being. He patiently addressed this issue, incorporating it into my physical therapy plan. His positive attitude and enthusiasm were infectious, motivating me to push my limits and strive for improvement. Brandon's approach was never rushed or pressured. Instead, he fostered a healing environment where I felt comfortable and supported. Thanks to Brandon's expertise and the support of the entire Active PT team, I'm not only walking without pain but also without the poor gait that had plagued me for nearly two decades. I wholeheartedly recommend Active PT to anyone seeking exceptional physical therapy care. Their commitment to their patients' well-being is truly remarkable. Thank you, Brandon and the Active PT team, for being a part of my healing journey

I hurt my back deadlifting at the end of summer and came to Active PT. I am also currently a Physical Therapy student myself. Not only did I rehab my back to where I’m pushing new PRs in the gym, but the wealth of hands on knowledge I learned is helping me tremendously in my courses as well. I want to give a big shout out to Hunter, Ashley, and the rest of the team who worked with me to help me on my journey to recovery. You guys were amazing!

I have visited and received treatment and instruction at ActivePt, primarily from Adam Shaffer for the past couple years. Adam has been very attentive to my ailments mostly in the lower back and hips. I also received excellent advice from a couple ActivePt professionals in the indoor pool at the Rochester Athletic Club. I cannot say my pain has disappeared but I have managed to endure more pain and strive for better fitness overall. In March of 2023 Adam and I monitored my “steps” on my Fitbit and noted I was achieving about 1500 steps on a daily basis. Adam encouraged me to gradually increase my daily steps by increments of 500 steps per week. Now I average between 7500 and 10,000 steps per day, having come close to 20,000 steps on a couple days. All thru the increase of steps and now I continue to fight the pain in my back and hips, but I have decided it is better to have pain and move than sit in a recliner and limit my ordinary activities. I have with Adam’s help added some weight training in a few ways including machines on the fitness floor. In transition, I am now working with a RAC fitness trainer that conversed with Adam about my situation and status at this time. I find this type of cooperation very beneficial and believe they have a great partnership with the RAC. My short term memory is impaired, so Adam has helped with written instructions as well as patience reviewing recommendations for me at several intervals. Whether it was a pool therapist or someone substituting for Adam when our schedules did not coincide, Adam’s associates were very thorough with reading his notes and giving me on going support. My personal physician highly recommended ActivePT and I will wholeheartedly agree with that recommendation. Jim Heydon

I am highly impressed with Active PT and Hunter, in particular. I had a jaw clicking issue and he did PT on the jaw along with giving me exercises to do at home. The clicking in my jaw diminished significantly! I am grateful for Hunter’s expertise and relief of the clicking. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. Thank you!!

I was having trouble with my feet and right ankle. I’m 51 years old and still have a lot of plans in life that involve walking. Ashley W. was very helpful in the six weeks that I was visiting Active PT. Physical therapy can and probably will be uncomfortable, and, at times, mildly painful…but it’s totally worth it! AND the only way you’re going to get any real results! On my last appointment, Ashley asked if I thought I was ready to take the next step and continue to do my physical therapy at home on my own. I told her “probably not”, but she kicked me out of the nest! So to speak, but she was absolutely right. She had given me enough training and tools that I could keep progressing on my own. I waited a month to post my review to see what would happen, and I’ve improved considerably since that last appointment. You just have to keep up what you’ve been taught, and then keep progressing from there. It’s not really that difficult and it doesn’t really take much time out of the day. If you have something that is hurting and/or doesn’t work like it used to, they can probably help a lot, if you let them and are willing to do the work on your end. Thank you to Ashley and the friendly staff at Active PT! You have greatly improved the quality of my life. 🙂

One word which I would use to describe my experience is "Grateful"! I really didn't have much movement if my left arm and shoulder. My journey of healing at Active PT required, an open mind, trust in my therapist, stress management, pushing myself through the pain and doing my part of the program. My shout out goes to, Kaitlyn Fischer, who established trust, which in turn let me approach this journey with an open mind to try different techniques she suggested. She helped me reach milestones that I wasn't sure I would see again. I highly recommend Kaitlyn and the Active PT team.

I want to give a big shout out to Lauren! I had very bad tendinitis in my elbow and was told about dry needling during a spin class. There was no one more skeptical than me about stuff like that but I was in such pain I was willing to try. Lauren did amazing, she made me feel comfortable and explained everything along the way. When I first got there she examined my arm and each time she touched me I jumped. After the first treatment the extreme tenderness was not as bad. She gave me stretches and exercises to do after each treatment and that along with a total of 6 sessions I am no longer in pain and no issues like I had when we first got together. Even though I’m not getting treatments any more the exercises and stretches are still a part of my daily routine. Thank you Lauren for helping me and giving me my motion back!

A huge THANK YOU to Hunter and Andrew at Spring Valley’s Active PT. These two wonderful guys helped me through a painful experience with my foot/toe.

Again thank you to Hunter and Andrew for being so great at what you do.

Dr. Rau approaches care in the most empathic and supportive fashion. Hunter demonstrated expertise knowledge pertaining to my injuries and concerns while offering a truly companionable persona. He is certainly an asset for the excellent Active PT team I’ve come to know. Rau is a beauty, easy on the eyes too.

My experience at Active PT was exceptional. I was very unhappy with the progress a year after knee replacement so asked my doctor to refer me for some therapy. After a couple months with Gabby it is life changing how my knee has changed. She gave me the confidence to work the leg and make amazing progress. I walk with confidence again and no pain. I would recommend Active PT to anyone.

I injured my back while squatting. The first thing I did was call Courtney. She is AMAZING. She developed a plan, listened to how I felt, and made adjustments accordingly. As I slowly got back into lifting heavier weights, Courtney continued to check in and offer guidance. She gave me stretches to do at home and lifts to strengthen my lower back muscles. I am now 100% pain-free and I am SO THANKFUL.

I used Active PT NE clinic after knee surgery. I also developed hip and back issues post surgery . I was very fortunate I was able to work with Annie Rhinesmith DPT!! She is absolutely wonderful and knows what she is doing. I will be having another knee replacement in the next few months and no doubt will request her again!! I would give her 10 stars if I could!! Another note: the entire staff including the front desk are also just as accommodating.

I saw Janelle at Active PT and had a wonderful experience with her and the entire staff that I was in contact with. Janelle was a great listener before doing a thorough evaluation of my situation. She then provided me with many different exercises and options to heal my body. Another huge benefit was working in a small organization that was very personal. I could phone them directly, park easily and was greeted personally at the front door. Making appointments was so simple and I never waited more that five minutes to start my visit. 5 stars for sure!!!

I am so grateful to have been able to work with Ashlee at ActivePT. She was kind and listened to my concerns. I was struggling with painful peroneal tendonitis in my left ankle to the point where I could barely walk during my training for grandmas marathon. Due to my injury I decided to continue training for the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon instead. I worked with Ashlee for a few weeks and started seeing improvements quickly. I completed the half marathon this past Saturday with a new personal record in the half marathon under 2 hours with a time of 1hour and 58 minutes. I shaved 4 minutes off my previous personal record. I would not have been able to do it without the support of Ashlee. I ran the race with no pain and continue to feel great! Thank you ActivePT for helping me enjoy running again!

I live in NYC and found this place off of a google search because my elbow was bothering me. I selected virtual visit and even though I am nowhere near Minnesota they still took my call and offered a virtual screening. More specifically, Carly Zebelian is the nicest and most thorough Doctor of Physical Therapy I have ever met. She was so kind to me on the phone after we laughed about me not being in Minnesota, haha! Very professional, knowledgeable and super nice. She then followed up with detailed notes and instructions after the call via email. Give this woman a RAISE!!! Thank you again Carly 🙂

Came in the get treated for vertigo. For it being my first time coming in, the experience was amazing. I called the morning I realized I had vertigo and was able to get in the same morning. Ashlee was very professional and understanding when it came to not only treating my vertigo but ruling out a possible concussion. She was very informative on what she was doing and why which helped me to feel more comfortable during the whole process. The desk staff was also super nice and helpful to ensure I could get an appointment and get all the paperwork I needed. 10/10 recommend!

I have been to Active PT twice in the past year. The first time was in 2022 for radiating, sciatic nerve pain — back, hip, leg, and foot — that would not resolve. The second time was in 2023 for help with post-surgical recovery after a tumor was removed from the sciatic nerve inside my spinal column. (No wonder the back pain would not resolve!) Hunter Scherr was my physical therapist both times. In a word, he was GREAT! He is incredibly intelligent.(I got all my questions answered every week; and I had many!) He is also incredibly well-trained. (His protocols for my recovery were perfect; I went from being unable to walk across a room with confidence to walking strong and stable.) Hunter was always professional, always patient, and always pushing for progress. It was a privilege to work with him. He taught me how to productively work with minor pain every step of the way and into the future. I could not have had a more perfect PT experience. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I have been attending physical therapy at ActivePT for a little over a month. I see 2 therapists—Ashlee for a hip problem & Janelle for pelvic floor issues. They are both knowledgeable caregivers that have managed to make my sessions enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both of these therapists to my friends and family!

For the last 2 years, I have worked on and off with Kaylen doing pelvic floor PT to recover from my first pregnancy and to manage symptoms with my second. She not only helped me have a much more enjoyable pregnancy the second time, she taught me so much about my body and how to identify what I’m experiencing and ways to mitigate it. I am forever grateful to her! Other things to note are that the office is always clean, the staff is very welcoming and kind, and everyone greets you with a smile. Truly a very therapeutic place to be—I cannot recommend them or Kaylen enough!

I’m so glad I found out about this practice. My PCP mentioned Pelvic Floor physical therapy as an option for treating dyspareunia, but I had put off looking into it since my work schedule is inconsistent. ActivePT had lots of time options, and it was really easy for me to schedule weekly appointments. I worked with Heather Dunfee, DPT, and she made the whole process so smooth for me. I came into it feeling skeptical but desperate, and she was open, non-judgmental, and is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about her work. She also offered dry needling, which I was nervous about trying (but it was totally fine). She explained everything well, and she never pushed me to do it if I didn’t want to. I wish I had looked into pelvic floor PT sooner. After 12 sessions, I’m essentially pain-free, and I feel empowered and so much better in my relationship. I highly recommend ActivePT.

I went to see Dr. Tuma for chronic headaches and migraines. After her treating me for less than two months, I have had minimal headaches and no migraines other than visual! She formed a treatment plan for me, including daily stretches, that I can keep doing now that we no longer meet. Dr. Tuma was great to work with. She was professional, thorough, she took the time to get to know me, and I felt like I was more than " just a number". It was wonderful to be treated without medications!

Today I "graduated" from my PT work with Brittney at the Rochester South location. My course of treatment was about 5 months in length, although my last two months were just check-ins. I came to her with extremely painful shoulder issues that also included poor range of motion. My experience was fantastic. Brittney was top notch in every way. She was great at explaining the reasons for my pain and how the treatments would help address the issues. Her manipulation of my shoulder was done with care but still pushed me to significant gains in my visits. She was so respectful and encouraging when she had to push at the limits. I never felt like she was unreasonable or would do anything that would set me back. I trusted her completely with my care. Brittney also was excellent in developing and demonstrating an exercise plan that evolved along with my progress. Each session flew by because she is so personable and is a cheerleader for success. I can't think of a better option for anyone struggling with pain.

Carley and the team at the North Active PT were very helpful with my ongoing back issues. The different work outs and various things I was shown and given have helped significantly with managing my issues. The dry needling is definitely something I would recommend trying if you have been thinking or considering it or acupuncture. I do find it odd that all the therapists look like they are required to wear uncomfortable "dress" shoes instead of something active or sports related.

Chloe Tuma at ActivePT has helped reduce my TMJ jaw pain and number of headaches/migraines more than I ever thought possible after over 20 years of pain from a jaw injury. Chloe performs dry needling combined with massage and stretching/strengthening exercises while we visit. I look forward to and enjoy my appointments and my insurance covers my treatments. If you have TMJ pain this is definitely worth a try!

I can't say enough about these two miracle workers!

I had such a great experience at Active PT, and am incredibly thankful for the help they provided. Hunter was fantastic. I'm sure I was not an easy case, but he remained thorough, patient, and determined to find a path to improvement. I felt like he was invested and truly cared about my outcome. I'd been living in pain for quite some time and had started to fear it would be my permanent reality- so I am absolutely thrilled to be back to my normal activities and feeling like myself again. The front desk staff were also very friendly and helpful. Positive environment and experience all around! Thank you!!!

I had pretty debilitating TMJ symptoms from years of jaw clenching that were acutely aggravated from a dental procedure. The pain rose to a point where I was having difficulty concentrating at work, and I was unable to sleep at night, or eat food for the most part. I had a lot of issues trying to find any provider who took ownership of treating TMJ until I was referred to active PT. Immediately upon meeting them they offered dry needling as a means to break the muscle spasm in my jaw, and were able to meet with me regularly during the acute period to meticulously work through the dysfunction that had developed. Within several weeks I am pain free, and able to live a normal life thanks to their wonderful care. Would 10/10 recommend for anyone experiencing any form of TMJ dysfunction.

What a fantastic experience! From Matt at the reception desk who knew me by name after my second appointment and always made me smile to Robin, Jill and Hunter who took fantastic care of my shoulder I always felt like I was the number one priority. They came up with new exercises to challenge me but always made sure that I was not doing things that caused pain. I was told that rehabbing a rotator cuff was the worst thing to go through, but Active PT made it a great experience for me and I would recommend them to anyone who needs physical therapy.

I went to Active PT after sustaining an injury while training for a marathon. Running specialists, Megan and Daniel, were so helpful. They supported me through the marathon while I was still dealing with the injury, helping to alleviate tight muscles and giving me tips on how to safely run while injured. Then they were crucial in helping me with rehab after the marathon. With the exercises and coaching I got from Megan, I went from painful limping to being able to run again. She gave me clear and concise instructions of exercises I can do at home, and she pushed me to progress as my strength increased. She helped me get back to doing what I love. I would absolutely recommend the therapists at Active PT to anyone. They are simply phenomenal.

I had an amazing experience at Active PT - Rochester South. Heather Dunfee, DPT was outstanding. She worked with me to set goals for physical therapy and helped me implement some small changes in daily habits to improve my symptoms. Heather was approachable, friendly, and warm. At every session, she made sure to bring it back to my original goals for PT and ensure that my needs were being met. Heather exceeded my expectations. I looked forward to my appointments with her. While I now feel empowered to manage my symptoms on my own, I know I can count on Heather and the Active PT team if my problem worsens in the future.

I needed therapy because of knee and hip pain and weakness. Ashlee worked with me to improve my gait and gain strength. Ashlee is an excellent therapist with a true understanding of the needs of the individual patient. I improved greatly during my time at ActivePT. I also found the whole staff to be friendly and welcoming, including intern Katelyn who worked with me as well. I highly recommend ActivePT.

ActivePT is a wonderful place. I was skeptical they'd be able to help me with the pain I'd been experiencing for several months. Working with Chloe was absolutely delightful. She explained all of the procedures she performed and respectfully answered all of my questions. Best of all, after my treatment plan was complete, I felt wonderful! I wouldn't wish chronic pain on anyone, but I'm grateful ActivePT is there to treat it. Additionally, the staff are friendly and helpful and took care of all the up-front paperwork, which made everything flow seamlessly. Thank You, ActivePT!

I have had a amazing experience with dry needling at Active PT. I went from needing Cortizone shots about every 6 mos for my Bursitis in my hips to now receiving dry needling about every month . My hips feel amazing and I am pain free. Thanks so much Dr. Decker.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD GO TO PELVIC FLOOR PT! Preferably before having babies to at least get an assessment to hopefully avoid the problems that brought me to PT. But if not before, definitely after!

I would highly, highly recommend Active PT! After experiencing months of debilitating jaw pain that gave me constant headaches and limited my ability to talk and eat, my dentist referred me to Hunter Scherr, a TMJ specialist at Active PT. From day one Hunter and the Active PT team have been so compassionate, professional, and most importantly committed to finding effective PT solutions to my jaw problems. Hunter began by taking the time to really understand the root cause of my pain and develop a unique regimen of exercises, muscle and joint manipulations, and dry needling. From week to week he has diligently tracked my progress and adapted my treatment to continue to maximize its results. I have gone from daily headaches, constant pain, and PT sessions twice a week to a whole month free of headaches and jaw pain and PT sessions every other week. And I can finally enjoy eating an apple again, just in time for fall! I would highly, highly recommend Active PT!

In late spring of this year, I was nearly unable to walk, sit, or stand without severe back and hip pain. In addition, I suffered vertigo. I was contemplating back surgery, when Ashlee, at Active PT was assigned my case. I couldn't have asked for a better therapist. She helped me understand how my body was reacting to an injury that I had had. She was with me during each appointment, watching each step I took. She relieved my vertigo, and got my pain under control with the physical activity she directed. She has helped me rebuild muscle. Now here we are in the fall, and I have no more pain, and am walking a mile or more everyday. I found Active PT to be a clean, well equipped facility with very friendly and caring staff. I would highly recommend their services.

My experience with Active PT was amazing! I came in after my second pregnancy, I wanted to work on my pelvic floor and diastasis recti. Working with Heather was incredible, she went above and beyond to help me regain my strength back and confidence. Heather was able to work around my schedule with having a new born and a 18 months old. The option to have virtual appointments was great for me due to living about 2 hours and 30 mins away from Rochester. Even with that long of a commute, I still was willing to drive to Rochester due to the quality of care I received at Active PT. Working with Heather was amazing, she was very understanding of my culture and any needs I had. I would and did recommend Active PT (especially Heather) to all of my family members and any moms that need help regaining their strength and confidence! I would definitely come back to Active PT if I need physical therapy in the future! Thank you to all of the Active PT team!

About 2 months postpartum, I started to have a tremendous amount of low back, pelvic and upper leg pain. At the worst times, I could hardly climb a flight of stairs without crawling up them, couldn’t walk and carry my baby at the same time and couldn’t tolerate riding in a vehicle. This wasn’t feasible so I sought help from anyone and everyone I could think of. My doctor recommended ActivePT to help regain strength in my pelvic floor and help locate the root cause of this severe pain. The staff at ActivePT were always kind, welcoming, understanding and knowledgeable. I started being seen weekly and after 4 sessions I was finally starting to feel like myself again and able to care for my child and myself. The staff would slowly increase my home exercises, fully examine function at every appointment and worked with me to achieve my therapy goals. I would recommend ActivePT to any woman who is experiencing pelvic floor pain/issues after childbirth as they helped me get back into alignment and taught me how to regain strength appropriately.

I landed awkwardly during a trail run and hurt my ankle. I enjoy lifting and running, but my ankle was limiting a lot of my movements afterwards. Ashlee was an integral part of my recovery. She was pleasant to work with, caring, and very knowledgeable. I really appreciated her collaborative approach. She was thorough and knew how to progress things at the right pace – which I definitely would have messed up on my own. My appointments were always on time and never rushed. Everybody at the office seemed really friendly and eager to help. I’m thankful to have such a great facility in the area for future needs. I highly recommend ActivePT in Mankato; they will exceed your expectations! Thanks again!

I was referred to ActivePT by my Family Practice physician at Mayo Clinic. I had a total knee replacement in November of 2021 and wanted to increase my knee flexion and strength in that leg.

I have had sciatica off and on for many years, most recently this past spring/summer. My doctor suggested going to ActivePT for physical therapy. I have seen both Mike and Johnny for PT over the last two months and I can say that I’ve never had my sciatica totally resolve until now. Mike and Johnny are amazing, giving me ‘homework’ including stretches and exercises to alleviate my pain. It totally worked!! I would recommend ActivePT, most notably, Mike and Johnny, to anyone who is in need of physical therapy!

An excellent experience! I needed information on how to support my routine with my flat feet - footwear recommendations and a home program to help me with long afternoons of standing for events or walks with my family. The customer service rep was friendly, informative and efficient. My PT Kayla was knowledgeable on the issue, explained things to me to help me gain the most from my session and provided great footwear recommendations and home program. She made sure we were on the same page with session expectations and I left feeling informed and well taken care of! Grateful ActivePT is here to serve the community!

went to pelvic floor PT here with Kaylen 6 weeks after having a baby. She was so nice and helpful! After 6 weeks of therapy, I feel much stronger, don’t have any pain, and am able to return back to my physically demanding job! Without going to therapy, I’m not sure that would have been possible 3 months post baby!

Just go already! I was very reluctant to go to PT after an ankle injury but I wouldn't think twice again. Mike was excellent to work with and the program he put together has made all the difference in my recovery. A very patient-centric and individualized approach. The rest of the staff made life easy with scheduling, billing, etc. Highly professional group that I would trust with any injury rehab.

I had a total knee replacement and am going to Lake City Active PT for my physical therapy. Decker is my physical therapist and he also has an intern working with him. Decker has been great and gotten me to almost the desired range of movement I need to be at. From using my knee bending machine, my other leg started acting up, so my PA said to have PT work on that also. Decker is very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. The intern working with him is great as well. I have confidence in these two gentlemen. I feel like they really care about helping me and I appreciate that. I would highly recommend Active PT.

Jan 27th 2022 I fractured my wrist during a solo session at the gym. I am so grateful that Courtney was there to help me on the day of the injury but also throughout my recovery to getting back to Karate and CrossFit. By end of June, I was back at doing my normal workouts, thanks to Courtney’s guidance and PT! She tooled me up with techniques that I still use to warm up my wrists. I hit some major milestones recently by doing the lifts that I wasn’t able to do for the past five months!!! Extremely grateful for Courtney’s guidance and PT. Thank you!! ====Review for Pelvic Floor PT ===••• I had a surgery in June and at 3 week I met with Heather Dunfee for pelvic floor therapy. Heather was very helpful in educating me in what pelvic floor was and explaining how to strengthen it. I benefitted from her therapy and was back on my normal workout routine within 4-5 weeks. My biggest take away was the education and the importance of pelvic floor strengthening. I highly highly recommend working with Heather!

After more than 10 years of suffering from TMJ jaw pain and even going through bite ramps and various realignment devices, it wasn't until I went to ActivePT to see Mike Walsh that I discovered that my TMJ pain was not something I simply had to accept for the rest of my life. I cannot recommend enough this route for addressing TMJ discomfort. It may not work for everyone because each person and case is different, but I wish this avenue had been recommended to me so much sooner.We did many treatments and they varied from appointment to appointment, but from each one I left with a better understanding of my condition and some tools to address my own triggers or unexpected stress bouts. This allowed me to become my own manager for my condition instead of making me solely reliant on their help. That says a lot about their ideas on therapy.We did manual massage, deep treated my hypertonic mastoid and pterygoid with dry needling and went through many routines that I could reinforce to help manage my condition in the future. It has been an eye-opening experience and I would recommend it to any person suffering from TMJ, if only for the opportunity to see if a non-invasive route to pain relief is possible.Thank you, Mike, for all your work.

I was referred to Active PT by my orthopedic physician at Mayo Clinic Rochester. Melissa Larson DPT assessed my ankle issues and set up a plan. I injured my ankle after mountain hiking in August of 2021. I became a patient of Melissa's in April of 2022 and in less than 6 weeks I am pain free and hopeful that I can once again enjoy activities such as hiking etc without pain.It took me awhile to figure out my ankle issues, because I had appointments with a variety of professionals.Glad I was referred to Active PT and I highly recommend their care for your pt needs.

I’ve been to Active PT twice in the large two years: first, for back pain during pregnancy, and secondly, for postpartum pelvic fooor therapy. Both times, the care and treatment was excellent. I loved how easy and flexible it is to schedule there. You can get in quickly, and receive follow-ups quickly. The therapists and staff are friendly and work to get to know you personally. I worked with Alyssa and Bri first, and then Mary for pelvic-floor therapy. All 3 were excellent to work with and passionate about their job. I had never done PT prior to this, but will recommend Active PT to anyone, and return there I ever needed to.

This is Lora Low responding, not Randy.All of my time with Melissa was positive and instrumental in my recovery from a fall. It was my first experience with physical therapy, and I would happily return to Melissa for additional treatments when needed. She educated me with computer graphics and listened carefully to my observations of what was happening with my leg. With her guidance, I was emboldened to continue to find out the cause of my long-term leg pain. Only after a series of requests of the medical community over more than a year were the tests ordered, which discover an incomplete fracture. Finally, we had the answer. My future may well require more physical therapy, and I will definitely look to Melissa for that help. I am grateful for her help.

I met Savannah at Active PT for mobilizing my ankle fracture. When I met her for the first time, I was scared to walk or climb stairs. Even standinh was painful. She not only helped with my ankle recovery but also gave me confidence to not only walk but also run. She was very patient and thorough at every visit. She even adjusted appointments according to my schedule. I had a great experience and highly recommend her. Thank you for being so kind and patient always.

Where do I start? When I met Courtney I was in a really dark place. I was almost 3 months postop from a Bankart shoulder repair and had very limited range of motion and was in a significant amount of pain. As a physician I was looking at potentially having to significantly modify my job description and maybe stop doing surgeries. Courtney came highly recommended from other colleagues at work and after one session with her the difference was noticeable. I was suddenly making progress when I had been stuck for at least six weeks. I can now say that my shoulder is back to normal thanks to her! She is amazing and has incredible bedside manner. Go see Courtney, you will not regret it!! The office staff was also amazing, kind, always knew my name. They really made an effort to get to know you as a person. Active PT is a great place!

Active PT has been the place I've ever received physical therapy. I've been in and out of pt my whole life , have had over 5 surgeries, and I have never been so taken care of by a clinical setting. Every member of the front desk staff know me by face and name, and I'm greeted so warmly the second I step into the building. Matt, Lauren, and Ellie have been especially accommodating, sweet, and as helpful as possible when it comes to fitting 3x a week therapy into my already busy schedule. I mainly utilize the Hydro Therapy offered at the RAC location, with occasional land appointments. It has been such a blessing to be able to swim (my favorite thing!) twice a week , and to get to meet with my incredible Therapists who work with me in the water and on land, Megan Bernard and Francine Kovash. Those two are such incredible gifts to the world who have shown over and over again that they will bend over backwards to get your needs , inside the clinic or not, taken care of. They are more than just another doctor or therapist. They are true friends. It's so obvious how much they care, and how much they love their work. I have been coming here for a year and I will never go anywhere else.

Thanks to a referral, I went to Optivus to help address some pretty significant pain, the result of lumbar fusion surgery. Todd Kruse, the owner of Optivus, right off assessed the back pain and related issues, and identified overall muscle strength and weaknesses, as well as flexibility and the like. The result: a detailed short- and long-term strategy and plan that have been, and continue to be, successful in reducing the pain. Most helpfully, Todd has given me an understanding of the exercises and how they relate to each other, as well as the tools to integrate such exercises into my activities at home. I strongly recommend Optivus. Bob Weisenfeld

Dr. Hunter Scherr is great at what he does! He offered so many different approaches to pain and mobility issues I had. He's respectful, but also adds a flare of fun to the appointment. Sad to say goodbye at my discharge appointment today, but very thankful for his hard work and flexibility in my treatment and scheduling. Hunter truly cares about his patients and gives them just enough push to begin their healing and seeing it thru to the (hopeful) end.

Wonderful experience, highly recommended! I've had two separate issues going, a lower back vertebrae pinching a nerve, plus a shoulder rotator mishap. Brady Kalla, my ActivePT Doctor of Physical Therapy, had to design two very different treatment plans that would work together, and he succeeded beautifully. The results have been good so faf as long as I do my part, but since I am sometimes a bit of a slacker, it is fortunate for me that Brady is also an outstanding motivator, coach and support. I am so thankful that ActivePT has an office in Lake City MN, and that Brady Kalla works from that office!

I was referred to ActivePT by my physician to work with my pelvic muscles after having a baby. I was able to see a therapist relatively fast (Mayo Clinic waiting time was about 6 weeks). Scheduling process was easy, staff members were very helpful with that. I was seen by Kaylen Magotta who was extremely attentive to my needs, helping me at every step of the way to reach my individualized goals. The therapist addressed not only my pelvic floor muscles but created a plan of how to adjust to postpartum body changes and ease into returning back to work. I would recommend ActivePT to everybody who needs physical therapy, they have multiple locations throughout Rochester with easy parking and qualified staff.

7 years ago, I had a car accident that caused injury to my right upper back, shoulder, neck, arm and head. Since then I have been living with pain and decreased mobility. Doctor appointments, physical therapy, chiropractor, acupuncture, etc and nothing really helped. I recently went to Active PT for a new injury to the same area. Not only did my therapist, Jake Hoeppner, take away the pain and mobility issues related to my recent injury, he greatly helped with all the issues from 7 years ago!!! Active PT is not a one time appointment where they give you a piece of paper, tell you to do exercises and send you on your way. They work with you, trying many options to see what works best for you, until they actually help you!! I am so happy my doctor recommended Active PT

This practice is phenomenal. My therapist, Kayla Kramer, is especially amazing. I’ve been to physical therapy for years for various ailments and this experience was better than anything I’ve experienced previously. I’m pleased to report that my ankle and foot are exercise ready. Thank you Kayla!

My experience at ActivePT in Byron was fantastic. I was treated for foot pain I had given up on ever getting better. I had been treated previously at many other places with no or partial improvement only to have the pain return shortly. Even surgery and being off of it for 6 weeks did not fix the problem. My first treatment at ActivePT I had 50 percent improvement and I continued with each visit to improve. As it improved I was able to increase my activity to well beyond my normal mile walk a day without any pain. They also treated a sore knee and gave me exercises to make it stronger with complete relief. I was so impressed with their knowledge, treatment, professionalism, and teaching. I highly recommend giving them a try especially if other treatments have been ineffective.

I worked with Savannah Meaike and she was awesome. I am a marathon runner and injured my knee between running marathons a month a part.

She also recommended techniques to improve my running form to help me run the next one. Most importantly she gave me the confidence to keep going! Highly recommend.

The new north clinic location is really nice and spacious. Everything is clean, and the gym area is well done with good equipment. The staff at ActivePT were all great and helpful! I was working with Savannah Meaike for my hip and lower back pain for a few months. She's honest, very knowledgeable and answered any questions or concerns I had during our PT sessions. She also was open to any suggestions I had about changing some of my at home exercises. She helped with my lifting form and the exercises she prescribed has allowed me to decrease and manage my pain.

It took me by surprise when I sustained a debilitating lower back injury. Mike and Johnny were extremely helpful working with me to regain my strength and flexibility. They maintain a positive and enthusiastic approach to physical therapy. Working with them was actually a fun challenge to get back to a good and productive place with no back pain! I highly recommend ActivePT to anyone looking to improve their health!

ActivePT is like no other PT place! At ActivePT everyone is so genuinely kind and thoughtful. From every single step (calling to arrange a first appointment, the check-in process, and then the actual treatment) everyone is just so friendly and it really made me feel at ease. I have met several of the therapists and they are all wonderful, but Garrison was my main PT provider and he was excellent. He always took my concerns and ideas into consideration when creating a treatment plan. He is so friendly and personable I always felt comfortable working with him. ActivePT doesn’t just give you a million at home exercises to do, they also do tons of muscle/deep tissue work/stretching and explain why certain exercises would be helpful. Hopefully I do not need PT again in the near future, but if I do would definitely go back to Garrison at ActivePT! I had a wonderful experience and cannot recommend Garrison and ActivePT enough - would give 6 starts if possible!

Working with Mike and Johnny at the Active PT Preston branch is beyond words! They are kind, caring, empathetic, patient, motivating, reassuring! Always upbeat and wore a warm comforting smile! They are definitely marvelous young men! When I felt I was not progressing they firmly, although kindly pushed for improvement by trying new techniques, making me feel when I left I can do this never belittling or hurtful! These men should receive the Extra Mile Award! I would recommend anyone who needs PT to go work with them!Keep up the wonderful care Mike and Johnny.

Active Pt was a great experience for me with Johnny at AnyTime Fitness in Stewartville.( Note he has now moved to the North Clinic)I started with a bad right hip and could only do a minute or two on the cross trainer. When I graduated I could do over 30 minutes and have learned many different exercises to keep the hip working pain free.

About a year before beginning my physical therapy with Active PT, I had herniated a disc in my lower back which I had been told by doctors would take time to heal on its own. Every month or two after the injury, I would "throw out" my back and would be unable to take full strides while walking, at times be unable to stand straight, and I struggled with sitting for extended periods of time. Each time these events occurred, the duration of my symptoms would last longer until there didn't seem to be any period of time where I resumed my normal ability to function which was alarming because it was affecting my ability to perform my job and I was unable to participate in activities that I enjoyed. I finally requested that I have physical therapy but chose to work with ActivePT after hearing such great reviews. I will be honest, I was skeptical at first. I had PT several years ago at a different place but felt that it did not help me at all. I was very fortunate to have met Francine who recognized that my symptoms weren't just related to my lower back but to my pelvic floor muscles which had weakened as a result of my initial injury. Francine sent me to the wonderful ladies in the Pelvic Floor department. I predominately work with Mary and she was such a pleasure to work with. She listened to my concerns and if an exercise wasn't working well for me, she would find an alternative and she set me up for longterm success. After several months, I was walking normal and able to sit in a chair for an extended period of time. I can't thank the many members of ActivePT enough for helping me be able to participate in the activities that I love again!

I am a member at CrossFit Credence. I injured my hamstring during a running WOD. ActivePT has an office area located at Credence. I reached out to them, got a evaluation from Johnnie and met Decker within days for PT therapy. In 6 short weeks Decker massaged the hamstring area and gave me exercises to do. I am running/walking on the treadmill short distances now with out pain. I highly recommend Decker and the ActivePT Team!!!!

I worked with Heather Dunfee. She was incredible. I am physically in a space that I didn't even know was possible! Not only has it been amazing to have such a positive level of pain mitigation and function improvement, but Heather is amazing. She is kind and genuinely cares about her patients. She makes it a safe and enjoyable environment to learn and grow. I would definitely recommend using ActivePT for any of your physical therapy needs. Everyone there was very friendly and positive. It seems like a great environment for working which makes it a very positive place for healing.

I am very satisfied with the treatments I have received from the Active PT Clinic in Spring Valley, Minnesota, particularly very happy with the services from Garrison, Andrew and Kailee.

I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who is looking for professional PT treatments.

Active PT is the gold standard of not only a physical therapy business--they are the gold standard of what any business should follow. The people at Active PT are genuine people who treat you like a person instead of a business transaction, they are open to constructive feedback and willing to work within reason on situations along with providing an overall amazing experience from start of treatment to finish. I have regularly seen Courtney and Jake over the years--I cannot praise these two enough because they both continue to help improve my quality of life from their hands on approach, dry needling, etc. to help me enjoy life. Anyone can go anywhere for physical therapy, however, what keeps me going back to Active PT is the overall quality of care and treatment.

I’m a senior citizen who, after limping for years, decided to have both knees replaced — one in April 2021 and the other in July. My physical therapist was Graeme Campbell. I wish I could fully express my appreciation for his excellence. He listened to my concerns and tailored a program to fit my needs. He encouraged me and challenged me. Now, in November, both knees have exceeded my — and my doctor’s— expectations, with range over 125 degrees. If I could give Graeme 10 stars, I would!

Courtney is an amazing Physical Therapist. She is professional, knowledgeable and creative.

A year ago to this month I suffered severe nerve damage that caused my right leg to be paralyzed and needed to learn how to walk again and build up strength.

I worked with Savannah who was quickly able to identify the underlying cause of my symptoms when running and, through a combination of PT visits for dry needling and cupping and at-home targeted exercise, I was back to full mileage with a new half marathon PR in a couple months.

I could not have been where I am in recovery if not for the help and expertise of Jill and ActivPT. With her knowledge of running and experience she helped me recover and get stronger. They care about people and want to help you succeed and keep you active. She knew which strength exercises would help me and the running analysis helped pinpoint weakness areas to work on. They are phenomenal!

Savannah was so helpful! I completed a free 15 minute video consult with her today for some knee pain I developed in training for my first marathon. I was worried I might have to quit training or risk long term injury, but she was able to assess my knee pain and provide advice that will help me complete my training and marathon successfully :)I'm very grateful for her time and expertise.

Heather was simply the best. There are so many things happening when you have a baby that it's easy to forget something major has happened to your own body. Heather helped me realize the radiating pelvic pain, lower back and tailbone pain I was dealing with everyday was all connected and could be managed. In 6 weeks I went from hardly being able to walk without significant pain to actually feeling normal again through therapy, stretching and core strengthening exercises. Plus, everything I learned can be done at home in case of flare ups. Heather is great at what she does, fun to talk to and I highly recommend her and the entire Active PT team.

I was experiencing pelvic floor issues during my second trimester. I had urgency to go to the bathroom 90% of the time and then sharp pelvic pain with walking, standing, simple day to day movements. I started a pregnancy fitness program earlier in my pregnancy that promoted working with pelvic floor physical therapists. The website pelvicrehab.com helped me locate physical therapists who specialized in the type of therapy I was looking for. I selected Heather Dunfee with Active PT because of the extensive training in pelvic floor rehab, her passion for motherhood, and her background in CrossFit. As a CrossFit enthusiast myself, I knew she would help me through my issues and get me back to training.I was planning for a vaginal delivery, but that was not my case. I had an emergent c-section after going into labor early with a breech baby. A c-section was a huge curve ball, but my pelvic floor was intact after delivery. My core on the other hand was not. Heather developed a progressive plan to rehabilitate my scar and core to get me back to cleans, snatches, pull-ups, and jump rope exercises. She also was wonderful to talk to about how to be a mom. We completed scar massages which helped tremendously with sensitizing my incision. She helped be rehab my diastasis recti and taught me how to overcome “bread loafing” my core.I also regularly brought my baby with me to appointments. Heather would rock my baby asleep with one hand and work on my therapy sessions with the other hand. I never felt like my crying baby was a burden during the appointment because of her patience and care.I highly recommend Active PT’s Heather Dunfee to pregnant and post partum mommas. When I have my next baby, I plan on coming back to see Heather to help keep a healthy pelvic floor and core.

Alyssa Boben is the most knowledgeable dance physical therapist that we have met during my 18-year-old daughter's dance journey, and she has worked with many therapists. As a high-level ballet dancer having had a surgery on her hip with additional dance related injuries, we were looking for someone who understood the dancer's specific needs for therapy to get her back to a high level of training. My daughter no longer had to be frustrated that her therapist didn't understand her needs as a dancer. Alyssa, as a dancer herself understood the terminology of dance and the specific stress put on a dancer's body. We can't thank her enough for getting our daughter dancing again!

I recently finished my exercise program at Active Pt South Clinic with Sam Fischer.He was very professional, thorough, and very patient. Sam gave me exercises customized for strengthening my core, balance, upper and lower back. He always involved me in individualizing my program.Sam reviewed my program and exercises at each appointment. He corrected positions in my exercises when needed. When additional exercises were added or changed, Sam sent me an e-mail with the changes. This included video’s of the actual exercises, along with written instructions. This was very helpful.I highly recommend Sam Fischer and was extremely pleased with my outcome.

I had an electric bicycle accident and concussion with resulting disabling vertigo in mid-August. I could not put my head down to tie my shoes, move my head to the side, or stand up from a seated position without the room spinning, and I had difficulty walking. I was referred to physical therapist Dr. Mike Walsh, who treated my vertigo weekly and gave me exercises to do at home. It is now mid-October and my vertigo is completely gone. Mike’s professionalism, expertise and compassion gave me hope from my first appointment, when I was very discouraged and miserable.

I would strongly recommend Active PT for any elbow or tricep issues. I was referred to Adam Shaffer / Active PT by my surgeon at the Mayo Clinic.I had reconstructive surgery on my tricep tendon on May 17, 2021. After getting my brace off on September 1, 2021, I needed to work on range of motion. Adam helped me get from a 93 degree bend to a 143 degree bend in just over a month, which was faster than expected. I've therefore been able to start strength training.I saw Adam 2x/wk in person and did exercises which he prescribed on my own 2-3x/day. You have to put the work in.Active PT was able to fit me in on short notice and was able to accommodate my busy schedule. Additionally, the facility is covid safe as everyone is required to wear a mask.If you're looking for a great physical therapist and are in Rochester, contact Active PT.

I had Mike W. for my rehab. Scheduling was easily accessible and appointments were not far out. Office staff was always friendly and welcoming. I went in thinking I would give it a try but believing surgery was probably the only way to get relief from the ankle pain I had. Ten weeks later, following all that Mike told me to do, I am doing things I thought were completely out of view. We met and exceeded all my goals. Mike was always available after hours and weekend for questions and concerns. He not only walked me through every step of healing he gave me the hope and encouragement at each visit that things were getting better. Overall an exceptional experience with an amazing outcome.

ActivePT was recommended due to their reputation to communicate within their therapists and referring physician throughout the treatment plan.At the onset of treatment Decker Bendtsen listened carefully as we outlined a treatment plan learning I love to swim. Decker arranged 3 appointments with Megan in the pool demonstrating water exercises to zone in the muscles in need of therapy.Twelve sessions were needed. Every week Decker added exercises specific to the task at hand as effective signs became evident. Gradually I experienced less pain, increased range of motion, and ability to perform exercises which at the beginning of treatment I couldn’t begin to do.Aside of the treatment plan, both Decker and Megan always presented a positive approach. They are a team with you with earnest desire to return you to optimum health. Never did I sense from them disappointment in my ability to do certain exercises; redesign of the plan came if I couldnt meet the mark. I’m pleased to convey I can do much compared to the onset of treatment.Lastly, at the conclusion of sessions goals for continued progress have been reset. I have a continued plan to work toward for even greater mobility and strength.I highly recommend Decker and Megan for their expertise in every way.

Courtney Hilmanowski at Active PT helped me rehab a very painful shoulder to be able to enjoy and meet the high demands of competitive CrossFit again. I'd recommend her to any level athlete, as she identified and improved major and minor details in my movement to prevent future injury, and led the rehab and strengthening plan at my pace, while instilling and passing on her knowledge to help me outside of our sessions as well.

My back hurt and my left foot was tingly. After seeing Dr Flinchbaugh it was suggester a physical therapist was the best choice. I saw Sam at Active PT in Rochester. A few weeks of training with new exercises it was decided an injection in the back was needed. Back to Sam and a series of exercises do a wonderful job. Slow and steady improvement over the weeks. Each new exercise helped improve my problemBefore I started at Active PT I was in bed unable to care for my needs and my home. After about 12 sessions my back pain is gone, left foot is not tingling, sleeping better, swimming and rock climbingThank you so very much San, you worked my hard enough to rebuild my damaged body…..you are amazing! Thank you for making me whole again.

I have recently completed physical therapy with Heather at Active PT. Heather is very knowledgeable, experienced and kind. She does a wonderful job explaining exactly what she’s doing and why. She addressed my specific needs and I am so much better off for having this physical therapy.

I used the service of Active PT at their Preston, MN location. I mostly worked with one staff member, but they were all very professional. I had a challenging issue with leg pain and they had to try a variety of techniques to finally get relief for me. They didn't just stop and say 'if will go away', they kept trying.... actually for 50 sessions before they felt I was ready to 'graduate'! I would recommend Active PT to anyone in the region.

My memory of thinking I will never recover or feel like I will be able to move and do my job or do activities with my family just that....a memory. I want to thank Brady at Active PT for helping get better and letting me know things will get better with time. You have to be patient and do the work. I feel I was treated like family. Everytime I walked in the door the front desk staff always very pleasant and they treated you like you are their best friend. I very much recommend going to Active PT you will not be disappointed.

I will describe myself as a very active person who loves to exercise. Its been a large part of my life. At 52 I am grateful I awaken with a smile ,strong heart ,arms and legs ,and no aches and pains.However, each passing year I haven’t been able to run ,play tennis ,or a big walks like before. The only way I could safely enjoy these things was To do activities only in the morning and not drink any fluids until mid afternoon.Then came Heather, my pelvic floor specialist with active PT. contributing factors to my Problem and gave me exercises which I worked out hard every day. My problem is gone now and I am enjoying tennis, running, and walking again and him in tune to my body.I am so grateful for Heather‘s guidance and help she is knowledgeable respectful encouraging and truly talented in her field. My parting words to her were “Heather, keep doing what you are doing for people you make a huge difference in our lives“.

As a runner, I’ve used Active PT many times over the years. When I saw their offering for a Run Performance Package with therapists who were specially trained to prevent and treat run-related injuries, passionate about running and, best of all, runners themselves, it was a no-brainer. I signed up immediately. Runners tend to take in a lot of information on how to be a better runner and the sheer volume of “do this, not that” can easily turn overwhelm into inaction. Savannah was able to explain my specific weaknesses and recommend mobility and strengthening activities to improve them in an easy-to-implement plan. I’ve also appreciated the relationships I’ve built with her and Garrison through the package. They allowed me to get quick appointments with people who understood my history and goals for treatment for a couple minor injuries before they got worse.In addition, the sessions with Ruth Brennan Morrey on mindset were remarkably helpful. Talking to her revealed some threats to my long-term sustainability and enjoyment of running. I realized comparing my training and results to others and getting attached to the outcome and not the process was robbing joy from an activity that I love. In retrospect, I’m not sure the need for “brain training” would have occurred to me without this package. Now I feel it’s indispensable.I am so grateful there is a place in town that truly understands runners. I’ve had experiences with other local sports medicine & physical therapy providers who prescribe rest. Of course, rest is sometimes necessary, but the run specialists at Active PT know that runners want to run. They give guidelines so you feel confident testing a sore spot/minor injury and knowing when you may be pushing too much, versus issuing a blanket “don’t run for 3 weeks” that doesn’t take into consideration or adapt to your individual progression.I recommend the Run Performance Package to everyone, especially new runners. If you’re saying to yourself, “I’m not really a runner/I’m not that serious/I’m too slow/I’m just doing [insert distance here]” stop right now! There are simply no downsides to minimizing your risk of injury, maximizing your enjoyment of running and build long-term durability to run for a lifetime.

In for help with back pain , the result of repeated lifting of 25# grandchild. Was seen biweekly then eventually weekly by Mike Walsh, DPT at Active PT over the course of two months. I credit the combination of Mike's ongoing professional assessment and prescribed exercises (performed with him and religiously at home), along with his personal enthusiasm and encouragement, for my rapid and amazing turn around. I could not imagine a more positive and healing environment given my initial problem. I can and do highly recommend Mike Walsh, DPT and Active PT for all your physical therapy needs.

Courtney and the Active PT crew are amazing. As I slowly accept I can no longer do the things I did in my 20s and early 30s, new aches and pain arise in different body parts. She is the best remedy to help me not only isolate the problem quickly and address the pain, but more importantly she focuses on developing a routine to strengthen muscles, in the hope of avoiding future occurrences and eliminating the issue altogether.Not that I enjoy pain, but when I do experience something that isn't feeling like it can be fixed with Advil, I honestly look forward to working with Courtney and the entire crew at Active PT. Her knowledge is top notch and her ability to "dumb it down" for non-medical folks like myself is much appreciated!I highly recommend their services to anyone that is tired of waking up with aches and pains!

ActivePT is the best! I’ve been going to them for a long time. I love running and I want to keep running. I’ve learned that ActivePT is the tool in the toolbox for staying healthy. I’ve seen a variety of different staff and they all truly care about you and will work with you to help you recover from injury or meet your goals. The office staff are all so kind too. By far though, Jill Tacl is an amazing and caring therapist. Her passion for caring really shows not to mention her knowledge and patience in explaining the treatment. Thank you Jill and all the staff at ActivePT!

My experience at Active PT was very positive. I initially thought going to PT would just help to make my limitation on my shoulders to be comfortable or learn other options to live with the discomfort. Working with Michael and Robin and other staff members the support and therapeutic sessions really improved my capability with my shoulders. I am able to do almost everything with my shoulders prior to my injury. The team was very encouraging that now I use the shoulder exercise as part of my daily workout routine.Active PT staffs are very friendly and supportive. Thank you

Active PT and Mary Kleis helped me improve my physical health. She was able to evaluate my bodies restrictions and then we talked about what my goals could be in our work together. Mary met me where I was with my understanding of my body and its struggles. Mary's easygoing willingness to help with questions I had as I recovered my bodies abilities was key to success. The goals I wanted to reach were always what we strived for together. I recommend Mary ..she is interested in how her patients are, she wants to help, is willing to share her knowledge, .Thank you, Mary for helping me get better.

I am beyond words for Active PT. I was enthusiastically greeted by the reception staff the minute I walked through the front door and from there everything just got better. Both rotator cuffs were a disaster, but with the planned exercise program designed and implemented by Melissa, over a period of nine sessions, my shoulders are vastly improved. I can’t say enough about Melissa’s professionalism and genuine interest in my well being. Thank you Melissa, you’re the best! If you want the very best PT, choose ActivePT!

I signed up for Courtney Hilmanowski's Swim Performance package and was delighted in my results. Had two sessions with Courtney. We worked on goals and timeline, and she assigned me some dry land exercises. Then the pool work, which was a major eye-opener. My stroke was video taped, I had immediate feedback of inefficiencies I could address. Specific drills were given. On my second visit, dry land was amped up, and more pool work with video feedback. Happy to say that my season-ending swim, an open water event in Lake Superior, was a smashing success. I felt calm and smooth in the water despite large swell and waves that the lake dished out to us that day. Courtney gets a ton of credit for giving me insight and strategies to take my swimming to the next level.

I could not be happier with my experience and outcome of treatment at Active PT. Bre and Decker were amazing!! Both were incredibly friendly, personable and could tell they honestly cared about my outcome; I was not at all just another patient. My treatment plan was customized to my goals and needs, and was at the forefront of the care they provided. Registration were courteous, kind and prompt in addressing patients that walked in. I will absolutely return to Active PT if I ever am in need of their services again. As a nurse and avid runner, I have struggled off and on with back pain for years. Completing treatment, my back hasn’t felt this good in a long time. I highly recommend Active PT!

Would highly recommend them and if anything happens where I need them again, I will not hesitate to call and go back! Thanks again!

My son recommended Active PT to me because of his positive experience. I had been dealing with neck issues because of an automobile accident for two years. Thanks to the recommendation of Jill a PT I got connected with Jake and Sam at the South location. I’m at the point where I can keep my neck pain under control. The drive from Burnsville to Rochester was well worth the time and expense. If you are not getting results, give these folks the opportunity to help resolve your citation.

I had a wonderful experience at Active PT and had the opportunity to work with Courtney.. If it wasn’t for Courtney, I would have walked away from Cross-fit a sport that I love. She gave me the tools to be successful and to crush my back squats with confidence instead of being scared of squats, highly recommend to any athlete.

You won’t find better than Active PT. I recommend utilizing their free 15 minute consultations. After an accident, Graeme and Garrison have helped me recover and get back to doing what I love. Thank you for listening to me and giving me words of support and encouragement, I am so happy with the progress I have made and I cannot recommend Active PT enough- everyone I have encountered here is so friendly, helpful and everyone was excited hearing that I “graduated” from PT. I guarantee you will be more than satisfied with your experience here.

Hunter interacted with my 12 year old son very well. Hunter explained the exercises and the reason for each exercise. Hunter encouraged and complimented my son each session.

From the first phone call to my therapy with Jake Hoeppner, I have been highly impressed. I had very limited immobility of neck and pain which was limiting my active lifestyle. Jake listened carefully; he did a thorough assessment and provided clear instruction and planning for my amazing recovery!!! You do not just get a list of exercises and are sent home, but they provide great follow-up to ensure you are noting improvement. Their hands-on care through massage, adjustments and needling are top notch!!!

Active PT was essential to my recovery from a brain injury. I worked with one of their physical therapists, Courtney, and she was absolutely fantastic! Courtney really listened to me and I felt like she took the time to understand my injury. She was extremely personable and fun to work with; so much so that I'm continuing to go back to her for preventative care. If you're on the fence about where to go for anything physical therapy-related, Active PT is the best!

I have been going to Active PT for the last two months and have been extremely satisfied with Adam, my therapist.At my first appointment I couldn’t even walk in without severe pain in my left glute and hamstring muscles because of tears. After the first session I was able to walk out without pain. I’ve gone weekly and have done my exercises at home.I am so pleased with my progressl I can now sleep without pain and walk without pain.After my upcoming Shoulder replacement surgery I will be back for more therapy.Even my surgeon recommended Active PT.

I was very satisfied with the relief I felt from the tension in my neck and shoulders after receiving care at Active PT.

I love Active PT in Rochester, MN. I couldn't say enough about Woody who treated me over the past several months. I have tried many different physical therapy facilities in the past and have never had the positive results that I received here. I was treated with excellent care from the entire staff. I am happy to say I have graduated my program. My neck and back have been a problem for a long time. This place is very progressive and I worked with several types of therapy including needling with great results in my neck. I also had treatment for jaw pain and I learned some at home therapy I can do myself. I would recommend Active PT to anyone!!!! Thank you Active PT for all the special care I received.

In December, I pulled a calf and went from running 70 miles a week to 0 miles a week. After that healed, I developed sciatic pain which was burning and unbearable. Running and even walking my dog were difficult. I visited Active PT and worked with Jill. After a couple rounds of dry needling, massage, and at home exercises, I was back to running and am now up to 20 miles a week! Jill took the time to assess my problem, determine the best therapy, and gave me exercises that were doable. She is helping me get back to my goal of running pain free and one day back to my old self! Thank you! Highly recommended!

Active PT gave me hope where 3 teams from where unsure of my issues. Kayak and the rest of Active PT have been awesome. Everyone I've met and talked to that had used Active PT were all glad they went. And will use them again if needed. I've only had 4 visits and the results are great. They care, they're sensitive to your needs and goals. Just a great place to use.

I can't find enough words to describe how WONDERFUL and PROFESSIONAL the staff is at Active PT. My first experience was with Woody and my most recent experience was with Graeme.

The facility is state of the art and easy to get into and out of easily and quickly. Keep up the great rehab Active PT staff.

I was referred to Active PT by my hip surgeon. My pain was constant and I couldn't get my socks on by myself. After the initial consultation, we began working on strengthening exercises. We began slow and I experienced many bumps in my road to recovery. With the ultimate encouragement and support from the team, my pain subsided and I am now able to move about freely. This group of therapists have assisted me through bursitis in my shoulder and vertigo. I have complete faith in their abilities and would recommend them to anyone with physical discomfort and pain.

I am beyond satisfied with my care at Active PT. The initial consultation was personalized and very thorough, I really felt like I was being heard. The staff at the desk were so friendly and helpful at every single visit, communication was consistent and clear, and the insurance/billing process was very smooth. As an active person with some acute on chronic hip and knee concerns, Woody Lucas helped me to set meaningful goals and understood my desire to stay active even with an injury. He created a realistic and progressive home exercise program and augmented it with manual therapy and other techniques, including dry-needling, and an in-clinic strengthening program that was specific to my changing needs. Not only did he identify the source of my acute issues, Woody also helped me understand my chronic issues that have kept me from running for several years. As of my last PT session, I am returning to running! I would absolutely recommend Woody Lucas and Active PT, and will definitely return there if I have a need in the future.

He encouraged me when I felt defeated and provided the resources and tools for my shoulder rehab and my migraine management.

Life changing. I have dealt with pelvic pain for years now, ever since the birth of my 3rd child. I had a doctor tell me that my prolapse would only get worse and that eventually a hysterectomy would be my only option to feeling relief. After researching, I found that that there are pelvic floor physical therapists. I put off going, as it can be hard to make time for myself. When I finally got tired of dealing with the daily pain, I made an appointment to see Heather Dunfee. She was welcoming, personable, and literally helped me to see results after the first visit. After 8 weeks of seeing her, I no longer have any pain, understand what exercises can help strengthen my core, and am thrilled that I don't have to resign myself to a life of pain (or resorting to a hysterectomy). My advice is to stop putting things off and just go. It is worth the investment into yourself and Active PT has a wonderful team of professionals. I highly recommend them and am incredibly thankful I stumbled upon their office. I will forever be grateful to Heather!

Courtney Hilmanowski , DPT successfully treated my adhesive capsulitis( aka “frozen shoulder “). When I first called Active PT, they said they would schedule me with Courtney, one of their shoulder experts. Courtney proved to a expert and more. She treated my shoulder, but she also understood, through years of experience, how painfully consuming frozen shoulder can be. She knew just the right amount of exercise and stretch I needed.I highly recommend Courtney for anyone with shoulder problems. Her professional, kind , and personable approach helped helped me to heal!

I'm a runner and was having some issues with my hip. I went to Mayo and got an X-Ray and met with a therapist there... I received a printout of exercises to do that I had been doing all along, and left with little understanding or explanation of what was wrong, and basically a "try these exercises maybe it'll get better." I posted on a local running facebook group, and Dr. Jill Tacl at Active PT reached out to me personally. So, I went in for my first complimentary consult and the experience was SO MUCH BETTER. First, the staff and therapists there are friendly and spent a lot of time with me listening, understanding, and explaining. I left with a better grasp of what was wrong with my hip, clarity, and optimism that with their help and some targeted exercises I have a path to recovery. Now, weeks later, my mileage is up and my hip pain is reduced.I've never done physical therapy before, and now know they can help with a lot. I'm getting treatment for TMJ among other things I didn't realize could be remedied... I would hands down highly recommend Active PT!!

I had the pleasure of working with Courtney at ActivePT following my hip surgery. I am a runner, lifter and CrossFitter so getting back on my feet was very important to me.

After having a hysterectomy, I was experiencing incontinence and back pain. I saw Heather Dunfee at ActivePT, who educated me about the pelvic floor, in addition to many other women's health issues. Heather provided appropriate, professional, and effective treatment - including exercise recommendations and valuable guidance - and now I have regained function, comfort, and peace of mind! I can't thank her enough, nor express the depth of gratitude I have for what she's done for me. Her (and ActivePT's) services provide a much-needed benefit to our community. I recommend her services without reservation.

After only 6 visits im feeling so much better!

I had a knee replacement in January and went to Active PT in Spring Valley with Dr. Garrison Jones. He gave me progressive exercises to do each week.

He gave me photos of exercises to do and the number of repetitions which were very helpful and a good reminder. I was very pleased with the therapy and my progress.

I started seeing Dr. Courtney Hilmanowski at Active PT after a severe ankle sprain, and I am so glad I did!Active PT partnered with my gym (Progression Fitness) so I was able to make my appointments at the gym. This gave us the chance to practice some of my physical therapy using the gym equipment so I knew I was doing it right. Courtney also really knew the kinds of workouts we did and was able to give me very specific guidance on how to modify or swap out moves. We took the time to focus on what felt good and what was overdoing it, so my ankle could get better rather than worse.They had a terrific app to guide me in my physical therapy exercises and track how difficult it was each day. So if I had a day I pushed it too hard, we could both see it in my numbers. We met every couple weeks to adjust the physical therapy exercises, and when we agreed I knew how to handle it, we ended our sessions with no pressure and an open invitation to call if I needed more help.Working with Courtney at Active PT helped me align my current needs with my long term goals. She gave me the tools I needed to make this a minor setback rather than a 6month break from the gym. Thank you SO MUCH! Highly recommend to any Cross-Fitter!!

I did pelvic floor therapy with Heather Dunfee after I had my second baby. I was able to do all my appointments with her via google meet since I lived 4 hours away from the clinic. Heather has helped me strengthen my pelvic floor and I am know back to doing almost all of my old workouts again (when I didn’t think it was possible). She has given me the tools to help manage symptoms if they come up and given me the confidence to push myself again. I couldn’t recommend Heather enough! She is great!

My experience with Active PT was phenomenal. I made appointments at their Stewartville location for several weeks and could not have been any happier. The staff took time to listen to my concerns and developed treatments and at-home exercise accordingly. They took time to gauge my progress with knee and chest issues each week and discussed in detail the next steps. I tend to ask a lot of questions and never felt uncomfortable, as the team always made sure I had all the answers. To complete the at-home exercises, I was given resistance bands and detailed printouts that explained and depicted each routine. The treatment space inside the Anytime Fitness location was clean, organized and welcoming. I highly recommend Active PT for physical therapy needs.

I was suffering from significant pain due to a shoulder injury from more than 25 years ago. Jake treated my shoulder injury. Jake is outstanding. He’s very professional yet very personable. After just eight treatment appointments my pain is gone. He provided not only great in office treatment but gave me workouts and suggested a massage gun that has helped my pain improvement. I would highly recommend Active PT to anyone suffering with pain. Every employee I encountered was upbeat, kind and very professional. Every interaction I had with this business was outstanding.

Nobody wants to be a leaky old lady and sadly I thought that was just what fate had handed to me. I just accepted all my symptoms as part of aging and the consequences of two C-sections and a VBAC. After a total hysterectomy this past year, I decided enough already. I asked my surgeon about pelvic floor therapy and she enthusiastically endorsed it. Enter Heather Dunfee. What a life changing experience. I just finished 12 weeks of therapy with her and my life is changed forever. I haven't felt (or looked) this good in twenty years! She is so very kind and very, very knowledgeable. Heather listened to me, asked what goals I wanted to set, and worked with me to make it happen. She was at my side through it all,coaching, teaching, and encouraging me. Heather kept me on task gently guiding me toward my goals. She gave me the background facts to know what we were doing, why, and what we were trying to accomplish.I can't believe the results...no leaky old lady here! Thank you Heather for everything! A shout out to the all the front desk ladies too! They always greeted me by name, were courteous and kind, and celebrated my victories with me no matter how small. Thank you all.

Having the best top notch professional physical therapist that is caring, compassionate, and understanding to an individual’s unique needs is one of the most important decisions one can make for their own well being. This facility has the staff, equipment, and wisdom to help guide a person back to a lifestyle as close to original as possible. They have the insight to promote the healing, strengthening, and endurance to overcome the injury that sent you there in the first place. The ability to use an injured body part back o a usable condition is what this facility is all about. This is the only place that can do that for me. Thank you very much. In my opinion: THE VERY BEST. Ken Russell

Optivus Physical Therapy is great place. It has always been clean but with covid-19 they have taken steps to make it safe for their clients. The therapists are all very good at their job. The first time you see someone they take the time to get to know you and assess the reason you are there. Unlike some places I've been they customize the program to you specifically. If you are looking for the best therapy possible, give them a try. I know you will be very happy you did.

Our daughter tore her ACL her freshman year playing Basketball. Was referred to Optivus after surgery and the outcome has been fantastic! The one on one PT has been great for her comeback. Easy to get in schedule, one to one 40 min visit, and friendly staff. Todd Kruse loves working with ACL injuries and is very easy to talk to and great with kids and His competitiveness is great to get kids motivated for their comeback.

My experiences have always been positive with the therapist here for myself, my family, and co-workers. I called them in May with severe pain where I wasn’t able to sleep or sit comfortably. I went straight to them because I didn’t want prescription pain meds, and I really needed help. I looked online for help but got more confused. I needed Optivus ‘s expertise in giving me a personalized plan. Within less than a week I was no longer taking any over the counter pain meds at all anymore. After 4 visits I don’t need to go anymore and I have strengthening and stretching exercises to help me stay well. These people know how to help and are very kind and friendly.

Sharing Sam's review from his experience:ActiVePT is a truly awesome facility with outstanding personnel at every position. From the initial moment you enter the door you are greeted with a pleasant smile and a friendly “good morning” and they even remember my name even before I can check in.The real star of the show was my physical therapy trainer Graeme. Graeme was truly excellent in all phases of my treatment. He cares about you as a person and really wants you to heal and perform better. I am so much better, both physically and mentally, and I have to THANK Graeme. Your the best!

I’ve been going to Active PT for all of my running and crossfit overuse injuries and LOVE it! Courtney has been amazing to work with! She worked with me, evaluating my lifts to make sure I was doing them properly, giving me little hints to make them that much better! I highly recommend Active PT if you have any crossfit overuse injuries!

I had a knee replacement and chose Active PT to do my therapy following surgery. I have had a number of occasions to be treated at Active PT in Stewartville and have always had a good experience. This time was no different. I did have a complication with sciatic nerve pain and severe spasms which made trying to bend or straighten the knee very painful for nearly a month. Pain medication did not relieve the nerve pain or the spasms. Jake was very compassionate in trying to figure out how to proceed, not pushing the process but doing what he and I could under the circumstances. He even suggested another medication to try - to no avail. I finally was able to get on a muscle relaxant and medication for nerve pain and turned the corner. Jake was so helpful in helping me do what I could to maintain motion and when the pain and spasms finally got under control I progressed very smoothly. Johnny was most helpful with the continued exercise program and followup. I highly recommend Active PT for their compassionate, professional, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Thanks so much for helping my recovery from surgery have a great outcome.

I started seeing Heather Dunfee during my second trimester of my third pregnancy for tailbone pain. This was my first time seeing a pelvic floor/women’s health PT. When I started, the pain was so bad that it was uncomfortable to even sit. Heather started manual therapy right away, and provided me with home exercises and stretches. Within 2 sessions, my pain was completely gone. I continued to see Heather throughout my pregnancy for maintenance and manual therapy of tight muscles. I had pubic symphysis pain in prior pregnancies, and never developed it during this pregnancy. I attribute this to the preventative work Heather did. I look forward to continue working with Heather postpartum for pelvic floor rehabilitation. Heather is extremely professional and thorough in her work. I would highly recommend her to any pregnant or postpartum women having issues.

Dr. Courtney is a fantastic Physical Therapist at Active PT-Rochester.Following a fall, I had hip pain and lower back pain for years. Gratefully, I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Courtney, and after ten sessions I am able to walk without pain, get up and out of chairs comfortably, and I feel stronger with the exercises she has given me. In addition to being an excellent physical therapist, she is delightful and engaging. Five star for sure! 🙂

I went here for TMJ issues which were relieved by Dr. Jill Talc! I didn't even know you could get PT for TMJ until my Doctor mentioned it. After going here my pain has decreased exponentially and I feel like my old self again. As a sufferer from migraines and headaches which can be triggered by TMJ, it was nice to finally get some relief. I reccomend anyone who has TMJ issues go here and see Dr. Jill 😁

Wonderful place for running injury PT! I had been to a couple other PT’s at other places and wasn’t making much progress on my knee injury related to running. Therefore I looked into finding a PT more experienced with treating runners and running injuries and found Jill Tacl who is amazing! She gave me a much more running specific rehab program that focuses on running specific strength exercises that are realistic and doable to continue long term. They also take a more hands on approach to working through problematic muscles while in office which has made a huge difference. She has also helped guide me in slowly increasing my running mileage and intensity as to not overdo it yet continue to build as my body tolerates so I can get back to marathon training. Would highly recommend for anyone with a running related injury!

This was my first time going to ActivePT for rehabilitation.I broke my foot and needed surgery to repair the broken bone. I was put in a walking boot for roughly 2.5 months.I had met with Sam at ActivePT, and wow I had an amazing experience!He is very personal, professional, listens to every comment , every concern. He makes knowledgeable recommendations.I tend to push the limits and rush through rehab, but Sam understood that is how I roll and worked with me to get me back to walking, running and lifting as soon as possible! He progressed my rehab in a perfect way!Would absolutely recommend ActivePT and Sam to anyone!

Absolutely the best. My entire family has utilized the ActivePT Team for many years. Exceptionally caring, skilled and individualized in their treatment plans. Most recently, I had a bad outcome from oral surgery resulting in unrelenting jaw/mouth pain. At times it appeared it would never end. Staff at ActivePT did not give up and tried numerous modalities that provided relief and eventual resolution. Their collaboration with other health professionals gives them an abundance of knowledge of injuries and treatments to help heal. Their compassion and caring is a bonus on top of their healing results. My family has the outmost confidence in them. Highly recommend them for all PT needs.

I received most of my care from Jake Hoeppner. Jake also had my wife as a patient after her knee replacements. His care and expertise were excellent and very helpful to both of us. I had rotator cuff surgery and worked with him for 4 months. I have progressed well and have great movement 5 months after surgery. I can attest that care is very indiviualized and fit my needs perfectly. I also have worked with Johnny Schmitz and Garrison Jones. Both were also caring and thorough.I would not hesitate to recommend Active PT for recovery and help. Thank you!

Savannah was extremely helpful in getting my knee functioning again after replacement surgeries!! She pushed hard enough to improve my range of motion and encouraged me to keep moving. My pain was significant at first so the exercises were tailored to allow the swelling to decrease while still making improvements. I highly recommend her therapy!! She has a very warm personality and was a pleasure to work with!

10/27/2020When I turned 65 years old, I starting competing in Sprint Triathlons. Unfortunately, most Triathlons in 2020 were cancelled because of the Covid Pandemic. With no goals in sight, I stopped training which caused me to lose muscle mass and I incurred a lower back/pelvis injury. I was treated by Chiropractors and Mayo Clinic before being referred to ActivePT in Preston, MN.The Physical Therapists at Active PT, Woody and Garrison, didn’t treat me as the “little old lady” that I appear to be. They treated me as an athlete who was working to recover from an injury. Woody and Garrison devised a strength training and stretching program which was unique to me and allowed me to return to all of the activities that I enjoy! With their encouragement, I can now lift significantly more weight that I thought was possible and I am even stronger and more flexible than I was before my injury.Active PT cares about you as an individual and they have the knowledge and desire to help you reach your goals. I highly recommend using their services if you need help with rehabilitation.Linda Sifford DVM

I saw Courtney at ActivePT related to acute on chronic low back pain. She was so great and fun to work with! She completed a thorough assessment, instructed me on a manageable exercise/stretching routine, and did dry needling, trigger point release, and cracked my back for symptom relief, which was wonderful! My back pain is back to baseline which is a huuuge improvement. I highly recommend her and ActivePT! You can even do a free 15 minute screening to see if they can help you or if you should be seen by a medical provider for your issue!

I’d had physical therapy elsewhere once before and I wasn’t thrilled about how it went. I was a little hesitant to try it again, but thankfully my experience at ActivePT was a much better fit. The front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful. Adam was professional but personable. I appreciated that he educated me about what was going on and gave me exercises and mobilization to do between appointments to expedite the process. He knows CrossFit and was able to give accurate advice about modifications for the movements that were painful, so my workouts weren't really disrupted. Workouts are feeling much better now. I'm not hoping to need physical therapy again anytime soon, but I'd definitely feel comfortable and confident about coming back if the need arises. Thank you!

I highly recommend Active PT. My pelvic floor muscles were weakened after having my second daughter, and I was having terrible back pain on top of that, and Heather Dunfee and Adam Shaffer helped me develop a plan with daily exercises to get my body back on track. I appreciated their thoroughness and genuine concern about my situation, and I'm happy to report that I recently "graduated" from physical therapy.

I went to Active PT routinely for over a year for back pain and sciatica. My Physical Therapist was Alyssa. She helped me establish a home exercise routine and also did needling and manipulation at my visits which helped my condition immensely. Alyssa was absolutely awesome and fun to work with!! She was very knowledgeable, upbeat and encouraged me along the way especially when my pain was at it's worst. She gave honest feedback and helped me recover from my back and leg pain. I would highly recommend Active PT and especially Alyssa Boben!! Actually, I have to say when Alyssa said I was ready to "graduate", I was a little sad that I wouldn't get to see her anymore! Thank you!

As an injury prone runner, I've tried different physical therapy programs over the years, but nothing comes close to my experience at Active PT. From the minute I walked in the door it felt different. The staff are so friendly and really care about their work. They are honest about expectations and the dedication rehabilitation takes but so encouraging along the way. In particular, I've worked with Jill Tacl who specializes in helping runners. She emphasizes that her goal is to return runners to their sport and get them back to doing what they love! I cannot recommend Active PT enough; I wouldn't be where I am today without them! 🙂

I had a phenomenal experience at ActivePT. I had a chronic shoulder injury that was giving me a fair amount of trouble when rock climbing. I finally decided to go to PT for it and went to ActivePT based on their fantastic reputation. I worked with Sam Fischer who was incredible. He was phenomenal at understanding my injury, how it was hindering my rock climbing, and designing a program that I will continue to incorporate into my standard routine. I had great improvement quickly and couldn't imagine where I'd be without Sam and ActivePT. Also, the staff were great too work with.

I was referred to Active PT by Olmsted Medical for a lower back injury. From the time I made the appt to my clinic visits, I found everyone friendly, professional and most important knowledgeable. After, 7 weeks, I am getting back to my normal routine and pain free. For this I thank them and recommend them highly. Do your homework (exercises) and they will get you on the path of recovery. Give them a try!! My therapist was Jake.

I started seeing Dr. Courtney Hilmanowski at Active PT after a severe ankle sprain, and I am so glad I did! Active PT partnered with my gym (Progression Fitness) so I was able to make my appointments at the gym. This gave us the chance to practice some of my physical therapy using the gym equipment so I knew I was doing it right. Courtney also really knew the kinds of workouts we did and was able to give me very specific guidance on how to modify or swap out moves. We took the time to focus on what felt good and what was overdoing it, so my ankle could get better rather than worse. They had a terrific app to guide me in my physical therapy exercises and track how difficult it was each day. So if I had a day I pushed it too hard, we could both see it in my numbers. We met every couple weeks to adjust the physical therapy exercises, and when we agreed I knew how to handle it, we ended our sessions with no pressure and an open invitation to call if I needed more help. Working with Courtney at Active PT helped me align my current needs with my long term goals. She gave me the tools I needed to make this a minor setback rather than a 6month break from the gym. Thank you SO MUCH! Highly recommend to any Cross-Fitter!!

After having surgery I hurt my neck really bad and was feeling pretty low. I’d never gone to a physical therapist before and didn’t know what to expect, but my trainers, Woody and Sam, made me feel welcomed. They were encouraging, patient, and very knowledgeable about my condition. I felt confident I could get better and after recently graduating, I feel completely transformed! Plus the customer service is very friendly and helpful in answering questions. I highly recommend!

I wanted to get more competitive with running, and quickly realized my knees and hamstrings were not going to keep up with the training. Savannah and ActivePT were a tremendous help in educating me on how to train smart and stay injury free.

I was seen for a herniated disc in my neck with severe nerve pain. I honestly did not have high hope physical therapy was the answer for me. After my first appointment with Woody he made me feel like maybe there was hope, he went above and beyond to help take care of me, I could not thank him enough because my pain was so severe. After 4 weeks of physical therapy of him teaching me different strengthening techniques I am finally back to living life normally. I am not a fan of shots or surgery and I was able to prevent both with physical therapy. Trust me I was not believer but I am now and I will most definitely be back if I have to. Thank you Active PT and especially Woody!!

I had a fantastic experience with Active PT in Rochester. Through a combination of weight lifting and HIIT, I had severely inflamed my lower back and was in a significant amount of chronic pain. Dr. Brian McQuilkin was able to diagnose my injury (SI joint origin) within 20 minutes of the first visit. Over the course of 4-5 visits, Dr. McQuilkin was able to get me back to my pre-injury form through several manipulations and a targeted exercise regimen. The treatment I received at active PT allowed me to dramatically increase my quality of life, and enabled me to exercise pain free for the first time in months. Dr. M and the team are the best!

I highly recommend ActivePT.I was first referred for hip pain in 2018 after previous hip replacement surgeries. Alyssa Boben was my therapist, water and land therapy, as well as home exercises.I was again referred ActivePT and chose to see Alyssa again after having right reverse shoulder replacement with latissimus dorsi tendon transfer in May 2019 and then a lower trapezius tendon transfer on my left shoulder in October last year..She is extremely knowledgeable. Alyssa takes time to ask and answer questions. If I come to an appointment upbeat or extremely discouraged, she will share the excitement or be there to encourage me.Alyssa is very thorough in explaining at home exercises.I also want to compliment the desk staff. They are very upbeat, friendly, and also helpful when making appointments. They are very insurance savvy.

I was referred to ActivePT for TMJ problems. I had no idea that you could do PT for jaw issues, but they have therapists specialized to treat these issues. After one visit for PT here, I felt a small improvement. After just 3 1/2 weeks of appointments, I have almost no jaw pain and many exercises I can do to keep things improving. The complete care and attention to detail during treatment that they provide here at ActivePT is something I've never experience before and I will definitely be referring anyone I know to them and will be using ActivePT if I ever need any PT again. Highly, highly recommend.

Heather was so great to work with. After my 3rd pregnancy, my core/pelvic floor were very uncoordinated and weak. I had lower abdominal pain with almost any exertion. I saw Heather around 8 weeks postpartum. She was so thorough in her assessment and plan for my therapy. I felt completely comfortable with everything she explained and did. I had to bring my baby and preschooler to several of my appointments and it wasn't a problem at all! Heather always taught me several home exercises, watched me practice them in office, and printed off a teaching sheet to take home. She always checked in that the amount of exercises seemed manageable for me. She also helped me with tension of my pelvic floor in certain areas. After just a few weeks, I could tell a huge improvement. Hands down, my core and pelvic floor rehab were life changing! I was able to gradually resume working out around 5 months postpartum without any pain!

All the staff are so friendly and down to earth. It's like a family between the therapists and clientele. The atmosphere is positive and relaxing. You have plenty of room in the gym area and in the individual rooms as well. They do not keep pushing you to continue therapy if it's no longer necessary. I've been to OFC, Mayo and the Mankato Clinic for physical therapy and felt as though I was treated like a number. There were long waits for appointments. They had very high stimulus environments which proved distracting. Optivus is laid back with a real hometown feel. The owner and his wife are very invested in all the patients. They know you by name.

When your “bad back” makes everyday activities a challenge, head to Optimus Physical Therapy! The staff works with you, addressing your needs in an efficient and professional manner. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and always have something else to try if the current exercise or procedure is not working. Scheduling is easy and flexible. My physical therapist at Optimus is the part of my “care team” that has kept me out of surgery; she keeps me moving so I can be a grandparent who moves and plays with granddaughters! Thank you, Natasha and Optivus PT!

I would highly recommend Optivus PT, to anyone for physical recovery. The staff and PT's go above and beond what is expected of them. I went for PT for two different injuries and they worked through the recovery and healing process of both. They asisted with my strengthening improvement and I was abe to avoid surgery. Great facility and great staff, the PTs are pretty good as well.

I enjoy going to Optivus because of the friendliness and kindness of all of the staff members The front desk staff are very welcoming and helpful. The physical therapy staff are very approachable. I find them extremely knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions. In addition to working with a physical therapist, I appreciate the option of using the Optivus facility for my personal health plan that includes using the skills learned while in physical. therapy Their fit for life program is wonderful and now includes silver sneakers.. I encourage you to check it out to see if you would like it too.

A Highly personalized plan after thorough review helped me help myself move towards being pain free after 10 years. Extremely friendly staff, flexible scheduling and a neat and clean facility. I appreciate getting a plan that would work for me as I continue my rehab. Better than expected, easier than I thought.

As I use the Optivus fit for life program to do my independent workouts, it is nice to have the support of Brandon and the staff at Optivus as a resource if things come up that I need PT advice on. As the new year progressed, I realized that my new years fitness goals were going to be a challenge to meet. It was nice to have Brandon help me adjust things so I could be successful with NEW goals.

My physical therapist is very knowledgeable and professional. She tailors my therapy to make me more functional in everyday activities. I look forward to therapy because I know I will be challenged - and well taken care of!

Following a motor vehicle accident, I was referred to Optivus Physical Therapy to treat a cervical sprain. I worked with Levi Peterson who was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in demonstrating and explaining the techniques. He gave me exercise printouts with visual aids to assist with at home exercises. He was great about educating me on the recovery process and how I was doing. I appreciated the time that Levi took in assessing and reassessing my neck and adapting different ways to alleviate the pain and regain strength and movement. I highly recommend Levi Peterson and this facility to anyone in need of physical therapy.

Just finished therapy for my RTK replacement. Brandon was very helpful in my recovery, listened to my concerns, personalized my therapy, and he always had a smile on his face. All the staff at Optivus are very friendly and helpful. Glad I chose Optivus for my therapy and will continue to go back for their Fit for Life program. I also enjoyed the warm pool.

I have recently been a client of Optivus Physical Therapy in North Mankato, and can report that the visits there were certainly beneficial to my arthroscopic shoulder surgery recovery! Levi, the therapist that designed and managed my program, was professional and knowledgeable, and answered my questions about all of my concerns. By continuing the exercise regimen, I feel confident about a full recovery. The Optivus team, including the support staff handling appointments and billing, were friendly and supportive as well! I would certainly recommend Optivus to anyone needing physical therapy!

My 3rd time with Optivus. It has everything you need within feet of each other ,therapy rooms, exercise machines, weights and swimming pool. I returned here because of my therapist. She tailored my therapy to my needs and eased me into harder therapy. If you are looking for a place to start and continue Physical Therapy, look no further.

As a person with multiple orthopedic surgeries! I should rate as a good authority on physical therapy. Optimus ranks at the top. My initial exam by Levi Peterson was the most thorough ever. And since then his determination to find the best treatment options and to listen to concerns is outstanding.

I've been working with Levi Peterson at Optivus, and it's been a good experience. He uses different techniques and ideas to assist in recovery, and tailors the exercises to your specific field; in my case, rock climbing. The office has a full service gym and many PT tools. I would highly recommend Optivus if you have an injury that you want to overcome!

I have been seeing Jill for a hip injury. Jill and all the staff there have been awesome to work with. I am very happy with the treatment I have received. Her ability to answer questions and work with me to find solutions that fit into my life helps me stick to my treatment plan and has me confident that I am headed in the right direction. Scheduling is easy and the staff is professional. I highly recommend ActivePT!

I initially was referred two years ago for a back muscle issue that was so painful I could hardly walk. All of the staff were amazing to work with from the front desk staff to the therapists. I recently had a recurrence of the back issue and have been referred to them again. I once again have been pleased with their commitment to providing quality care. I would definitely recommend them to others.

I totally recommend Active PT! Today I graduated from therapy for hip replacement surgery. Adam has been such a great therapist! Each visit he has given me really helpful exercises to do at home to augment the muscle manipulation and exercises in office. He is so knowledgeable, upbeat and positive, providing encouragement when I'm discouraged, letting me know that I can reach my goals. I'm really going to miss the great office staff, too. Thanks everyone for a great experience!

This isn't just physical therapy as one would typically think of it (sports injuries, car accidents, etc), this is like seeing a doctor who cares, a chiropractor, and a massage therapist all in one visit. Jake and the staff here really try to find the root of what's going on to actually fix it, not just pass you a pill or adjust you once a week for the rest of your life. I've never met such a caring group of people who truly want to help people feel better! Amazing for back pain/ neck pain/ headaches or any muscle injuries really! Everyone I have sent here calls to thank me afterwards. You definitely won't regret this place!

Active PT was recommended by a friend. I went there initially for a consult on a bum knee, later for rehab of a broken leg. That evolved into addressing back pain that was becoming chronic. I could go on and on, suffice to say that Alyssa's guidance is minimizing my discomfort and giving me a little different direction for the go forward. My goals at 70+ are being specifically addressed with emphasis on realistic expectations. I adore Alyssa and she is my trusted go-to person for all things muscle-skeletal. I am grateful ActivePT is available locally and easily accessed. Yesssss!

I worked with Kayla the PT. Scheduling was accommodating to my rigid 8-5 work schedule. She helped me with bulging lumbar disc pain before surgery and after surgery. She helped me go from not being able to bent, lift or twist, to getting back to volleyball, jogging, and swimming. She was kind, compassionate, and effective! She never made me feel silly for asking stupid questions and helped me push my limits to get me strong and stable. I'm eternally grateful!

This is a great place. The therapists are experienced, very competent and caring. It is a quiet, friendly setting with immediate access to exercise equipment (and a heated pool!). I’ve had a variety of surgical experiences including major issues with my back and hip replacement. The skill and encouragement of my therapists brought me back to health. In addition, being able to follow up with a conditioning program has been very helpful. It keeps me challenged and active which helps to keep me well. Personal Trainers are available, if desired. We “regulars” represent many different age groups. The camaraderie is fun! I’ll stick with Optivus. The gain outweighs the pain.

Being new to the area and in need of a physical therapy location that was in my insurance network, I found ActivePT. I am sooo glad I found this place. The front desk ladies are very polite, the lobby is always clean, and the all-around atmosphere of the place is pleasant. My therapist, Alyssa, is easy to talk to, very informative, and works with you to find your best treatment. I also have dry needling done here, and Brian is absolutely fabulous at it!

Active PT is a great fit whether you’re dealing with a sports related injury or other kind of injury. The staff is friendly and the therapists are engaged. Physical therapists are amazing, but the ones at Active PT seem a cut above in their knowledge, approach and client relationships. I have rehabbed through 5 surgeries and truly believe Active PT gets the GOLD star.

I had a great experience at ActivePT with Courtney Hilmanowski! She had me back on my feet and doing Crossfit after a knee injury I sustained playing Rec sports. The mixture of therapeutic modalities, along with Courtney's knowledge on when and how hard to push me, led to a faster and more complete recovery from my injury. I highly recommend ActivePT to motivated athletes looking to get back to being active!

My 13 year old son was having foot and ankle trouble. Joan quickly determined the remedy. She would not accept payment as it was resolved during the free initial assessment. Joan was extremely skilled, work very well with an adolescent and showed great integrity. I also appreciated the easy accessibility to the practice and appointments.

I highly recommend the staff at Active PT. They provided such thorough care (much more than I received earlier at a local world-famous clinic). I had back pain: they provided deep tissue massage, some chiropractic manipulations, and exercises to do at home. The exercises were provided as a link to videos to show me how to do them well. It was really helpful to see them in action and not just in a printout. I'll definitely go here again.
