What was your favorite part about your experience at OrthoRehab?
From the very first moment I walked through the doors at OrthoRehab Specialists, I was struck by how each member of the team took the time to learn about my personal goals, concerns, and day-to-day routine. Unlike other clinics where I felt like just another appointment, here I never felt rushed. The front desk staff greeted me warmly, helped me with my new patient paperwork, and even offered me a beverage to make me feel comfortable. During my evaluations and treatment sessions, my physical therapist explained every test, demonstrated each exercise, and made sure I understood the purpose behind every movement. This level of individual attention gave me confidence that I was in the right place and set a positive tone for my entire rehabilitation journey.
With respect to your injury, how has the OrthoRehab team impacted your life?
Before coming to OrthoRehab, I was told by my surgeon that I might need a complex procedure that carried significant recovery time and risk. I had been in pain for months, unable to sleep through the night or perform basic tasks like lifting groceries or climbing stairs without discomfort. After my detailed evaluation, the team at OrthoRehab crafted a personalized plan combining manual therapy techniques, targeted therapeutic exercises, and gait re-education to restore my strength and mobility. Over the course of several weeks, my pain decreased, my range of motion improved, and my overall functional capacity increased enough that my surgeon agreed to postpone surgery. Thanks to OrthoRehab, I was able to avoid an invasive procedure altogether and return to my active lifestyle much sooner than I ever anticipated.
If you were to recommend your physical therapist to a friend, what would you say?
I would tell any friend seeking relief from pain or recovery from injury to look no further than OrthoRehab. Their therapists listen carefully, tailor each program to your needs, and offer clear communication at every step. They combine advanced clinical skills with a genuine caring approach. I have referred several family members and coworkers, and each of them has come back telling me how impressed they were with the cleanliness of the clinics, the state of the art equipment, and the friendliness of the staff. From the initial contact through scheduling and follow-up, the process is seamless and patient centered.
Our Personalized Treatment Approach
At OrthoRehab Specialists, we begin each patient journey with a comprehensive evaluation. This includes posture and alignment screening, functional movement analysis, gait assessment, and a review of medical history. We use evidence based protocols incorporating manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and functional training to address your specific impairments. Your therapist will work with you to set realistic short-term and long-term goals, explain the rationale behind every technique, and provide you with clear instructions for home exercise programs. We believe that patient education is a vital component of successful rehabilitation, so expect plenty of guidance on proper body mechanics, ergonomics, and injury prevention strategies.
State-of-the-Art Facilities and Technology
Our clinics in Edina and Minneapolis feature modern equipment designed to enhance your recovery. We offer therapeutic modalities such as cold and heat therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and blood flow restriction training. Our treatment rooms are spacious and private, ensuring a calm environment for your evaluations and hands-on sessions. For functional training, we provide Balance and proprioception platforms, treadmill gait analysis systems, and free weights. We continually invest in new technology to ensure our patients have access to the latest advancements in physical therapy care.
Insurance Verification and Payment Options
Understanding your insurance coverage can be confusing. That is why our administrative team will verify your benefits before your first visit, so you know exactly what to expect in terms of copayments, deductibles, and any visit limits. We accept most major plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, Medica, UCare, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and PreferredOne. For patients without insurance or those who prefer self-pay, we offer transparent cash-pay rates and flexible payment plans. Learn more about accepted carriers on our Insurance & Payment Options page and feel free to contact us at 952-922-0330 if you have any questions about billing or coverage.
Preparing for Your First Visit
To make the most of your initial evaluation, please bring a list of your current medications, any relevant imaging reports or surgical notes, your insurance card, and a photo ID. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for full range of motion and athletic shoes if you have lower extremity concerns. If you have any assistive devices such as braces, walkers, or orthotics, bring them along so your therapist can assess their fit and function. You can also complete our new patient forms online by visiting the Contact Us page and requesting an electronic packet.
Continuing Care and Home Exercise Programs
Progress does not end when you leave the clinic. Your therapist will develop a home exercise program tailored to your goals, lifestyle, and schedule. These exercises reinforce what you learn during sessions and help maintain your gains. We provide printed instructions, video demonstrations via our patient portal, and regular check-ins to ensure you are exercising safely and effectively. Our ultimate aim is to empower you with the knowledge and tools to manage your condition independently and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Community Resources and Patient Education
In addition to our in-clinic services, we offer educational workshops, community classes, and online resources through our blog and FAQ section. Topics range from back pain management and posture correction to spring return-to-sport preparation and healthy aging strategies. We partner with local support groups, sports clubs, and corporate wellness programs to promote injury prevention and overall health in the Twin Cities community.
