Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy in Burnsville & the South Metro

Who I Help

I work with adults who need orthopedic or preventive care, whether you're recovering from surgery or injury, improving your balance, or building strength to stay active.

Conditions I Treat

These are just a few examples, not a complete list. If you don't see your concern here, reach out and ask.

My Approach to Treatment

Every recovery plan starts with understanding your goals. I'll assess your current mobility, strength, and pain levels, then develop a personalized program designed to help you regain function and return to the activities you love.

I use a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercises, and movement retraining -- all tailored to where you are in your recovery. Whether you're working toward getting back on the field, lifting your grandchild, or simply walking without pain, we'll build a plan together that makes sense for your life.

Progress can look different for everyone, and I'll be honest with you about what to expect at each stage. My goal is to give you the tools and confidence to keep improving, even between our sessions.

Why Home & Community-Based Care Works for Recovery

Recovering where you actually live and play means practicing in the exact spaces where you need it most. Your own stairs and kitchen, your gym, the field or trail -- these are the environments that matter for real-world recovery. I can tailor your program to the specific challenges of your daily life, not a generic clinic setup.

There's also a practical side: no driving after surgery, no sitting in waiting rooms when you're in pain, no rushing to make an appointment across town. Whether you're in Lakeville, Apple Valley, or Savage, I bring everything needed for your session directly to you -- so you can focus entirely on your recovery.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first session typically takes about 60 minutes. I'll start by listening -- I want to understand your injury or condition, your medical history, and most importantly, what you want to get back to doing. Then I'll conduct a thorough physical assessment, looking at your range of motion, strength, balance, and how you move.

Before you know it, we'll have a clear picture of where you are and a plan for where you're headed. I'll walk you through your personalized treatment plan, demonstrate initial exercises, and answer every question you have.
