OrthoRehab - Edina Physical Therapists

Owner, PT

HOMETOWN: Aitkin MN

SPECIALTIES: Shoulder/elbow and combined shoulder and spinal based injury, and spine care

SPECIALTIES/FOCUS: Mr. Buisman cares for adolescent to adult populations with either non/post-surgical based issues including rotator cuff injury, impingement, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), fracture, joint replacement, dislocation/instability, scapular (shoulder blade) dysfunction, as well as spine/neurologic based injury that complicates an existing shoulder issue both acute and chronic in nature.

PHYSICAL THERAPY DEGREE: Mayo Clinic Program in Physical Therapy

MEMBERSHIPS: Minnesota and American Physical Therapy Associations

BEST PART OF MY WORK: Playing a significant role in improving the quality of people’s physical well-being. Being challenged daily with more complex diagnosis and the subsequent creation of a treatment program to solve the problem.

WHY I BECAME A PHYSICAL THERAPIST: Injured shoulder playing college baseball and received inadequate care thus realizing I needed to learn how to help myself and ultimately others with the same problem. Involved in a head on motor vehicle accident; my knowledge base as a PT allows me to function without limitation.

HOW I SPEND MY FREE TIME: Kids activities, skiing, following everyone up north on Friday nights.

Covid-19

Due to the difficulties presented by COVID-19, OrthoRehab would like to try and make life easier for you. We will be extending our hours of operation to 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM Monday-Friday and will now be open Saturday mornings 7:00 AM - 2:00 PM. Our Edina location also has the ability to treat patients outside! Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns.

Our Physical Therapists continue to treat patients at both our Minneapolis and Edina locations. Patients being seen in our clinics are either essential or have independently chosen to do so. Our commitment to providing a safe, clean, and healing environment has never been greater. For patients who do not yet feel comfortable being seen at either of our clinical locations, we are communicating and treating via a virtual connection. These virtual visits are referred to as TeleHealth. Our Physical Therapists have been providing TeleHealth visits since early March. We are confident that your Physical Therapist can offer you great value via this virtual connection.

As your Physical Therapy provider, we would like to let you know the additional measures we have taken to keep our patients and staff safe:

  • *Washing our hands before and after each patient encounter
  • *Using hospital grade disinfectant on knobs, counters, desks, chairs, exercise equipment, etc. - on the hour, every hour
  • *Using hospital grade disinfectant on treatment tables before and after each treatment
  • *All providers wear masks and encourage patients do the same
  • *We are taking patient temperatures when they come in and have a pulse oximeter to check oxygen levels

To further ensure the safety of all, we request that our patients use sanitizer before checking in for their appointment.

Reschedule their appointment if you have:

  • *Fever, chills

  • *Cough

  • *Shortness of breath

  • *Had confirmed or suspected contact with someone diagnosed with the coronavirus

  • *If you have recently gotten back from traveling out of the country
