Im an active guy in my late 60s. I was discouraged by some shoulder pain (arthritis) that was keeping me from enjoying my preferred sports. Matt & Samantha worked with me to regain my motion, & increase my strength. I strongly recommend Ortho Rehab, especially the physical therapists Matt & Samantha.

Best physical therapy experience I have ever had. Terry worked with me on a frozen shoulder, and it gave me relief for the first time in years of dealing with shoulder pain. I am now pain free. I would highly recommend Orthorehab Specialists!

OrthoRehab Specialists at Southdale do a fantastic job. I had my first visit with Terry regarding a painful shoulder / rotator cuff issue at the end of August this year. Based on his directions and that of his staff, I had my final visit today only 8 weeks later. I never imagined that correct stretching and properly exercising the area would provide relief so quickly. Thanks Terry and team!!

I had a great experience with OrthoRehab Specialists. My physical therapist, Terry Buisman, was so knowledgeable and professional. Plus he was personal and had a pleasant demeanor. The PT assistant, AnnaRose, was equally professional and helped to motivate me to do regular exercises/stretches. Even the people at the front desk were helpful and polite. I received consistently good care and made steady progress. I wouldnt hesitate to go back if I ever needed to.

Such a well-run clinic - I will be back, but hopefully not anytime soon :-). My therapist, Rebecca, was so smart, personable, and down to earth. Her ability to understand my issues and explain them to me in a way that I could understand really put my mind at ease. Im feeling great and have returned to all of my activities that I love to do just in time for summer!

My physical therapist Lu ( Lois) changed my life! I was experiencing chronic pain after having babies and no one knew what to do about it. After an intensive internet search, I found Lu. I saw her for visceral therapy on my abdomen. She found my pain points and has given me so much relief! She also found painful areas on my sacrum and spine that I didn't even know existed. She fixed the root of my problems and I can now do pilates, walk, bike, swim, play with my kids and do all the things I could do before! I'm so thankful for her knowledge and ability to heal!
