PHYSICAL THERAPY
Our Athletic trainers and physical therapists work together to get you back to your sport as soon as possible. We focus on rehabilitation and injury prevention. Our physical therapists are highly skilled with the latest trainings from Astym to cupping and Blood Flow Restriction along with running analysis. Our doctorate level Physical Therapists have extra trainings and certifications in sports medicine, and are available in three locations: Lake Region Healthcare main campus, Elbow Lake campus and the Fergus Falls YMCA. Your insurance may require you to have an order from your provider. Many insurances allow direct access to Physical Therapy meaning you do not need an order. The therapy office can help you with this information or you can call your insurance company directly for more information.
