Physical Therapy
We specialize in restoring or improving physical function after an accident, surgery, disease or other event.
Services
The highly skilled physical therapists (PTs) at Hennepin Healthcare teach patients how to prevent or manage their condition. We do this by developing a customized plan with you using treatment techniques to help you move, reduce pain, restore function and prevent disability. We see patients with all sorts of conditions, from joint problems to someone who needs to relearn how to get out of bed, sit, stand and walk.
We have excellent PT care for both inpatients (patients in the hospital) and outpatients (patients not hospitalized and seen in our clinic) of all ages. Our therapy collaborates with many experts to help you reach your goals, from the beginning to full recovery.
