Active PT - Rochester RAC

Fantastic experience: My PT has helped me a lot. She has explained what ‘&. Where my problem is. From there she works on the problem area. Resulting in some relief & training me in what I can do for exercises & stretches to try to regain some strength & mobility again.

Fantastic experience: Professional work Best exercises Good listening Patience

Fantastic experience: I'm 66 years old and had an SI injury that suddenly made it so I could not walk. Active PT got me right in and are great professionals! They knew exactly what to do and did therapy treatments, and they assigned specific stretches and exercises. that, over a few weeks, I was walking normally again. I am now back playing racquetball twice a week. I am so thankful!

Fantastic experience: I have visited and received treatment and instruction at ActivePt, primarily from Adam Shaffer for the past couple years. Adam has been very attentive to my ailments mostly in the lower back and hips. I also received excellent advice from a couple ActivePt professionals in the indoor pool at the Rochester Athletic Club. I cannot say my pain has disappeared but I have managed to endure more pain and strive for better fitness overall. In March of 2023 Adam and I monitored my “steps” on my Fitbit and noted I was achieving about 1500 steps on a daily basis. Adam encouraged me to gradually increase my daily steps by increments of 500 steps per week. Now I average between 7500 and 10,000 steps per day, having come close to 20,000 steps on a couple days. All thru the increase of steps and now I continue to fight the pain in my back and hips, but I have decided it is better to have pain and move than sit in a recliner and limit my ordinary activities. I have with Adam’s help added some weight training in a few ways including machines on the fitness floor. In transition, I am now working with a RAC fitness trainer that conversed with Adam about my situation and status at this time. I find this type of cooperation very beneficial and believe they have a great partnership with the RAC. My short term memory is impaired, so Adam has helped with written instructions as well as patience reviewing recommendations for me at several intervals. Whether it was a pool therapist or someone substituting for Adam when our schedules did not coincide, Adam’s associates were very thorough with reading his notes and giving me on going support. My personal physician highly recommended ActivePT and I will wholeheartedly agree with that recommendation. Jim Heydon

Fantastic experience: Caring therapists, willing to go the extra mile to help mend.

Fantastic experience: Courtney and Madison did an amazing job at giving my shoulder mobility again. They were so positive and motivating. They were always considerate and understanding of my pain and sometimes lack of time to do the exercises. They know their stuff!

Fantastic experience: Ian is the real deal! I went in with wrist/thumb tendonitis, and within a month Ian had me feeling better through a combination of scraping, cupping, dry needling with stimulation, and progressive weekly exercises. Ian takes his job very seriously and is always pursuing continuing education to ensure he's up to date on the latest research - and it shows! I always appreciated working with Hunter for a couple weeks too!

Fantastic experience: I saw Elena at Active PT RAC location. I went due to a pinched nerve in my neck. She was AMAZING! Definitely went above and beyond with my therapy. I had a cupping procedure as well as dry needling. That helped immensely. I also saw Megan who helped with the strength aspect of therapy. Very helpful with getting me back to normal movement. Can’t say enough about both ladies as well as Active PT as a whole. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I had amazing results and would recommend them to anyone!!

Fantastic experience: I went to Active PT at the RAC location and had a couple of different clinicians who were excellent. I had most of my sessions with Andrew and he was outstanding. He was so helpful and I would highly recommend him. I had pain in my left leg while driving my car and he was able to greatly alleviate this problem. I feel very fortunate to have been able to have his help so thank you Andrew!!

Fantastic experience: Active PT has been an important part of my recovery and good health. Each session was informative and always encouraging. I would go nowhere else. To me, Active PT is operated with integrity, compassion and the highest level of skills.

Fantastic experience: Hunter and his team were so patient and willing to keep trying different things until something worked. These guys really are super duper

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful for my 18 months with Kayla at Active PT. I originally went in because I had grinding in my spine. After the first 10 minutes of arriving to my appt, Kayla deduced it was due to misalignment with my hips, knees, and feet. After a few months of hard work, realignment, and muscle training, I was able to walk up the stairs without a railing, lift myself up off the floor with my feet, get into a lunge position, squat, all things I could NEVER do before meeting with Kayla. Each new milestone was a joyous success. I love the ability I now have to do the things I couldn't before. I now have the strength, balance, and motion to hike, and walk uphill on rocky terrains. Kayla set me up with the tools, resources, knowledge and confidence to continue to build my strength and realignment on my own. I am incredibly thankful for this change, and the ability to go forward to continue my progression. I highly recommend Active PT. Thank you Kayla! You changed my lifestyle, I am so grateful.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful for the care and treatment I received from Megan and Joel. 3 visits completely resolved my issue. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: I also can’t say enough good about Active PT! I went in for sciatica pain(a common problem for me for years). Hunter, my PT, listened to me, tested me, relieved my pain in a couple of different hands on techniques and gave me exercises to do. I had a LONG plane ride to Germany coming up in 2+ weeks and I am happy to report that I had no sciatic pain sitting that long(11+hours)! That is amazing and a first! Thank you Hunter and Andrew!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about this place.... The absolutely go above and beyond! They work so hard to accommodate my son's schedule since he is in school and attending PT twice a week. He had been doing PT in the pool and he has improved so much we now get to do PT in the RAC gym! I used to come here for Achilles tendonitis. I was barely walking when I started due to intense pain. It was a long process of therapy but they were amazing. Pain was almost completely gone when I stopped therapy. Now it is completely healed. I tried other places before but they did not help me at all. I am so glad I was told about Active PT from a friend! Friendly staff from the receptionists to every PT I worked with! You won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I was in pure agony when I initially came to Active PT. Hunter’s skill and expertise helped to guide me back to normalcy. The most important piece of his care was that he truly listened to my symptoms and treated me accordingly. He taught me ways to stretch and strengthen in hopes to prevent further injury and even fit me in to a tight schedule on multiple occasions. 10/10 recommend Hunter at Active PT.

Fantastic experience: I saw Courtney at Active PT at the Progression CrossFit location for shoulder and hip issues. She was amazing! Courtney listened to my concerns, set goals, and coordinated my care with LeeAndra, my CrossFit coach at Progression. Dry needling and home exercises got me started on recovery, and we were able to practice movements in Progression’s gym. I’m now back to normal CrossFit workouts. In addition, LeeAndra continues to include movements in my workouts that reinforce the things Courtney taught me. I’m very happy with the care I received from Active PT.

Fantastic experience: Hunter is the best! I get no more jaw locks and headaches.

Fantastic experience: Amazing people from front desk to therapist. Thank you for careering and working hard to support recovery.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend ActivePT highly enough. Everyone from Connie and Anahi at the front desk to Andrew Z. and Adam S. who treated my rotator cuff injury, I experienced superb professional care over the past couple of months! My strength / mobility has returned to normal, and my shoulder is pain-free and feels better than ever!! Thanks ActivePT !!

Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend Active PT (especially Jill) to any athlete with an injury but especially recreational or competitive runners. She is very responsive to questions and guiding athletes back into training. Jill was great!

Fantastic experience: I hurt my back deadlifting at the end of summer and came to Active PT. I am also currently a Physical Therapy student myself. Not only did I rehab my back to where I’m pushing new PRs in the gym, but the wealth of hands on knowledge I learned is helping me tremendously in my courses as well. I want to give a big shout out to Hunter, Ashley, and the rest of the team who worked with me to help me on my journey to recovery. You guys were amazing!

Fantastic experience: I came to Active Pt with several areas of concern. Through my work with Hunter R, a successful treatment plan was developed. My function and mobility have greatly increased. Hunter’s attention to detail and ability to communicate each step in the process made the visits valuable. The staff is pleasant and helpful. I definitely recommend this practice.

Fantastic experience: I am extremely happy with the personal care I received from Hunter and the rest off the staff.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Active PT! The whole staff is excellent. Robin and Tori were great!

Fantastic experience: I am highly impressed with Active PT and Hunter, in particular. I had a jaw clicking issue and he did PT on the jaw along with giving me exercises to do at home. The clicking in my jaw diminished significantly! I am grateful for Hunter’s expertise and relief of the clicking. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: I want to give a big shout out to Lauren! I had very bad tendinitis in my elbow and was told about dry needling during a spin class. There was no one more skeptical than me about stuff like that but I was in such pain I was willing to try. Lauren did amazing, she made me feel comfortable and explained everything along the way. When I first got there she examined my arm and each time she touched me I jumped. After the first treatment the extreme tenderness was not as bad. She gave me stretches and exercises to do after each treatment and that along with a total of 6 sessions I am no longer in pain and no issues like I had when we first got together. Even though I’m not getting treatments any more the exercises and stretches are still a part of my daily routine. Thank you Lauren for helping me and giving me my motion back!

Fantastic experience: Robin was great to work with and helped me get to a point where my tibial tendinitis was better and I could “leave the nest” with a good plan.

Fantastic experience: I had pretty debilitating TMJ symptoms from years of jaw clenching that were acutely aggravated from a dental procedure. The pain rose to a point where I was having difficulty concentrating at work, and I was unable to sleep at night, or eat food for the most part. I had a lot of issues trying to find any provider who took ownership of treating TMJ until I was referred to active PT. Immediately upon meeting them they offered dry needling as a means to break the muscle spasm in my jaw, and were able to meet with me regularly during the acute period to meticulously work through the dysfunction that had developed. Within several weeks I am pain free, and able to live a normal life thanks to their wonderful care. Would 10/10 recommend for anyone experiencing any form of TMJ dysfunction.

Fantastic experience: enjoyed working with Active PT, Hunter and Megan. I thought for sure I was going to need surgery to heal my shoulders. Hunter and Megan had me do exercises, stretching and lifting. After several weeks i was feeling great, back to my old self. no medicines or surgery.

Fantastic experience: Courtney is a miracle worker! In less than three months she helped me recover enough from a training injury to finish Norseman, the world's toughest Ironman-distance extreme triathlon. I overdid training and ended up with a painful combination of SI joint dysfunction, piriformis syndrome, and sciatica. For two weeks I couldn't bend over or pick up my kids without excruciating and radiating pain. When I met Courtney I told her my only goal was to get well enough to finish Norseman. She listened to me, organized around my goal, addressed the worst pain first, and developed a plan that I followed religiously every day for almost three months. It got me through! Courtney was an elite swimmer and has done IMs as well, so she could identify with my training plan and triathlon strengths and weaknesses. Also, she's really funny and just a pleasure to work with!

Fantastic experience: Hunter was a tremendous help to me with my ongoing pain. He reviewed options and exercises during each session. I am finished with PT and thanks to Hunter, I have numerous exercises to continue on my own. Everyone at Active PT has been great.

Fantastic experience: I did PT with Robyn after my rotator cuff surgery. I would highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience at Active PT, and am incredibly thankful for the help they provided. Hunter was fantastic. I'm sure I was not an easy case, but he remained thorough, patient, and determined to find a path to improvement. I felt like he was invested and truly cared about my outcome. I'd been living in pain for quite some time and had started to fear it would be my permanent reality- so I am absolutely thrilled to be back to my normal activities and feeling like myself again. The front desk staff were also very friendly and helpful. Positive environment and experience all around! Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: A huge THANK YOU to Hunter and Andrew at Spring Valley’s Active PT. These two wonderful guys helped me through a painful experience with my foot/toe. They listened to my frustrations and gave me the exercises I needed to get my pain under control as well as strengthening the rest of my leg. Again thank you to Hunter and Andrew for being so great at what you do.

Fantastic experience: What a fantastic experience! From Matt at the reception desk who knew me by name after my second appointment and always made me smile to Robin, Jill and Hunter who took fantastic care of my shoulder I always felt like I was the number one priority. They came up with new exercises to challenge me but always made sure that I was not doing things that caused pain. I was told that rehabbing a rotator cuff was the worst thing to go through, but Active PT made it a great experience for me and I would recommend them to anyone who needs physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: After 3 months of consistent back and shoulder pain I made a visit to Active PT. Within a few appointments I was back to my full potential and pain free - I wish I would have visited them sooner! The staff are personable, friendly, and hands down amazing. Thank you Active PT :)

Fantastic experience: Had a frozen shoulder. The physical therapists were wonderful. They really cared about my recovery. Had about six weeks of therapy and was amazed at my results. I would highly recommend Active PT.

Fantastic experience: I recently received PT from Hunter S due to arthritis in my thumbs. I found the therapy and the at home exercises to be very helpful in reducing the pain in my hands. The facility (located in the RAC) is very nice. Hunter was an excellent therapist.

Fantastic experience: Not only have I worked with Mike and Johnny, but my kids have also for a wide range of injuries. They are knowledgeable and effective! We’ve all had fast recovery with their PT in Preston! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I have been to Active PT twice in the past year. The first time was in 2022 for radiating, sciatic nerve pain — back, hip, leg, and foot — that would not resolve. The second time was in 2023 for help with post-surgical recovery after a tumor was removed from the sciatic nerve inside my spinal column. (No wonder the back pain would not resolve!) Hunter Scherr was my physical therapist both times. In a word, he was GREAT! He is incredibly intelligent.(I got all my questions answered every week; and I had many!) He is also incredibly well-trained. (His protocols for my recovery were perfect; I went from being unable to walk across a room with confidence to walking strong and stable.) Hunter was always professional, always patient, and always pushing for progress. It was a privilege to work with him. He taught me how to productively work with minor pain every step of the way and into the future. I could not have had a more perfect PT experience. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: After having my knee replaced I set up therapy with Active PT in Preston, Mn. Both Mike and Johnny are passionate at what they do and were phenomenal working with me to get my knee up to par again! Therapy is a lot of work, and often I said……Healing hurts, but in a good way!! Thank you guys!!

Fantastic experience: Not only have I worked with Mike and Johnny, but my kids have also for a wide range of injuries. They are knowledgeable and effective! We’ve all had fast recovery with their PT in Preston! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Arrived limping in pain and after a few short weeks I left doing the bunny hop. Thanks Hunter, the torture (just kidding) was sooo worth it. Went to my gym this morning to continue the curcuit you created for me.

Fantastic experience: Matt provided AMAZING customer service!!! We’re located north of the Twin Cities and struggling to find next phase ACL rehab training for our Swim/Dive/Synchro Athlete. Matt listened, researched, and ACTUALLY CALLED us BACK!! He provided 2 resources to explore. That’s compassion and truly caring about people. This organization obviously takes care of their employees as Matt went above and beyond to assist me. I’m hopeful the resources provided will be a good fit. Thanks again Matt for calling us beck after speaking with your team!

Fantastic experience: The Active PT staff are always welcoming and eager to help! They work with you to get appointments that work into your schedule and really do a great job instructing you on exercises to improve your issue.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding group of professionals meeting your PT needs.

Fantastic experience: I've had 2 repaired shoulders pt'd now by Courtney...she is THE best...period!

Fantastic experience: I went to Active PT after sustaining an injury while training for a marathon. Running specialists, Megan and Daniel, were so helpful. They supported me through the marathon while I was still dealing with the injury, helping to alleviate tight muscles and giving me tips on how to safely run while injured. Then they were crucial in helping me with rehab after the marathon. With the exercises and coaching I got from Megan, I went from painful limping to being able to run again. She gave me clear and concise instructions of exercises I can do at home, and she pushed me to progress as my strength increased. She helped me get back to doing what I love. I would absolutely recommend the therapists at Active PT to anyone. They are simply phenomenal.

Fantastic experience: experienced therapist with impressive credentialing. He is intuitive and thorough in his work with a fantastic knowledge. He creates a customized full plan for treatment. I am progressing better than I expected. The facility is clean and comfortable with all the proper equipment. The front desk is courteous and knowledgeable with years of experience. You will be receiving top of the line treatment here. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: My experience was Hunter Rau at Active PT was productive and helpful. I recommend him without reservation.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at Active PT - Rochester South. Heather Dunfee, DPT was outstanding. She worked with me to set goals for physical therapy and helped me implement some small changes in daily habits to improve my symptoms. Heather was approachable, friendly, and warm. At every session, she made sure to bring it back to my original goals for PT and ensure that my needs were being met. Heather exceeded my expectations. I looked forward to my appointments with her. While I now feel empowered to manage my symptoms on my own, I know I can count on Heather and the Active PT team if my problem worsens in the future.

Fantastic experience: We've had such an extraordinary kind experience at Active PT. Ive worked with Hunter and some other providers who were just SO kind, gentle, and caring. Ive gained muscle strength with the physical therapy theyve offered, and had much relief on my neck and jaws from the jaw therapy ive done with Hunter. Hunter has worked with so much heart and he had enormous patience. Im extremely grateful for his care. Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: I would highly, highly recommend Active PT! After experiencing months of debilitating jaw pain that gave me constant headaches and limited my ability to talk and eat, my dentist referred me to Hunter Scherr, a TMJ specialist at Active PT. From day one Hunter and the Active PT team have been so compassionate, professional, and most importantly committed to finding effective PT solutions to my jaw problems. Hunter began by taking the time to really understand the root cause of my pain and develop a unique regimen of exercises, muscle and joint manipulations, and dry needling. From week to week he has diligently tracked my progress and adapted my treatment to continue to maximize its results. I have gone from daily headaches, constant pain, and PT sessions twice a week to a whole month free of headaches and jaw pain and PT sessions every other week. And I can finally enjoy eating an apple again, just in time for fall!

Fantastic experience: I saw Mike for my TMJ issues. I'm able to open my jaw wider, there's less clicking, and the pain is almost completely gone.

Fantastic experience: I was having pain in my heal, hip and shoulders. Melissa did wonders with all 3. She was very professional and very enjoyable to be with. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I love active PT…….. they have helped me for years with a variety of problems. From back problems to vertigo and now getting care for TMJ. With acupuncture and some manipulation. A very friendly and helpful atmosphere, they are the best!

Fantastic experience: Just go already! I was very reluctant to go to PT after an ankle injury but I wouldn't think twice again. Mike was excellent to work with and the program he put together has made all the difference in my recovery. A very patient-centric and individualized approach. The rest of the staff made life easy with scheduling, billing, etc. Highly professional group that I would trust with any injury rehab.

Fantastic experience: I am very satisfied with the treatments I have received from the Active PT Clinic in Spring Valley, Minnesota, particularly very happy with the services from Garrison, Andrew and Kailee. I am very impressed by their friendliness and professionalism. After 25 visits, I have had very obvious improvement with my injured wrist and shoulder. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who is looking for professional PT treatments.

Fantastic experience: My experience at ActivePT in Byron was fantastic. I was treated for foot pain I had given up on ever getting better. I had been treated previously at many other places with no or partial improvement only to have the pain return shortly. Even surgery and being off of it for 6 weeks did not fix the problem. My first treatment at ActivePT I had 50 percent improvement and I continued with each visit to improve. As it improved I was able to increase my activity to well beyond my normal mile walk a day without any pain. They also treated a sore knee and gave me exercises to make it stronger with complete relief. I was so impressed with their knowledge, treatment, professionalism, and teaching. I highly recommend giving them a try especially if other treatments have been ineffective.

Fantastic experience: Active PT is awesome! The entire staff from the front desk to your doc are just the best! This will make the second time I have used them, first for my shoulder and then for my hip. Both Times I have been able to return to my active lifestyle. If you are dealing with an injury or persistent pain, I highly recommend Active PT

Fantastic experience: Where do I start? When I met Courtney I was in a really dark place. I was almost 3 months postop from a Bankart shoulder repair and had very limited range of motion and was in a significant amount of pain. As a physician I was looking at potentially having to significantly modify my job description and maybe stop doing surgeries. Courtney came highly recommended from other colleagues at work and after one session with her the difference was noticeable. I was suddenly making progress when I had been stuck for at least six weeks. I can now say that my shoulder is back to normal thanks to her! She is amazing and has incredible bedside manner. Go see Courtney, you will not regret it!! The office staff was also amazing, kind, always knew my name. They really made an effort to get to know you as a person. Active PT is a great place!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to Active PT twice in the last two years: first, for back pain during pregnancy, and secondly, for postpartum pelvic fooor therapy. Both times, the care and treatment was excellent. I loved how easy and flexible it is to schedule there. You can get in quickly, and receive follow-ups quickly. The therapists and staff are friendly and work to get to know you personally. I worked with Alyssa and Bri first, and then Mary for pelvic-floor therapy. All 3 were excellent to work with and passionate about their job. I had never done PT prior to this, but will recommend Active PT to anyone, and return there I ever needed to.

Fantastic experience: I would strongly recommend Active PT for any elbow or tricep issues. I was referred to Adam Shaffer / Active PT by my surgeon at the Mayo Clinic. I had reconstructive surgery on my tricep tendon on May 17, 2021. After getting my brace off on September 1, 2021, I needed to work on range of motion. Adam helped me get from a 93 degree bend to a 143 degree bend in just over a month, which was faster than expected. I've therefore been able to start strength training. I saw Adam 2x/wk in person and did exercises which he prescribed on my own 2-3x/day. You have to put the work in. Active PT was able to fit me in on short notice and was able to accommodate my busy schedule. Additionally, the facility is covid safe as everyone is required to wear a mask. If you're looking for a great physical therapist and are in Rochester, contact Active PT.

Fantastic experience: I had Mike W. for my rehab. Scheduling was easily accessible and appointments were not far out. Office staff was always friendly and welcoming. I went in thinking I would give it a try but believing surgery was probably the only way to get relief from the ankle pain I had. Ten weeks later, following all that Mike told me to do, I am doing things I thought were completely out of view. We met and exceeded all my goals. Mike was always available after hours and weekend for questions and concerns. He not only walked me through every step of healing he gave me the hope and encouragement at each visit that things were getting better. Overall an exceptional experience with an amazing outcome.

Fantastic experience: Active PT has been the place I've ever received physical therapy. I've been in and out of pt my whole life , have had over 5 surgeries, and I have never been so taken care of by a clinical setting. Every member of the front desk staff know me by face and name, and I'm greeted so warmly the second I step into the building. Matt, Lauren, and Ellie have been especially accommodating, sweet, and as helpful as possible when it comes to fitting 3x a week therapy into my already busy schedule. I mainly utilize the Hydro Therapy offered at the RAC location, with occasional land appointments. It has been such a blessing to be able to swim (my favorite thing!) twice a week , and to get to meet with my incredible Therapists who work with me in the water and on land, Megan Bernard and Francine Kovash. Those two are such incredible gifts to the world who have shown over and over again that they will bend over backwards to get your needs , inside the clinic or not, taken care of. They are more than just another doctor or therapist. They are true friends. It's so obvious how much they care, and how much they love their work. I have been coming here for a year and I will never go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Active PT is the gold standard of not only a physical therapy business--they are the gold standard of what any business should follow. The people at Active PT are genuine people who treat you like a person instead of a business transaction, they are open to constructive feedback and willing to work within reason on situations along with providing an overall amazing experience from start of treatment to finish. I have regularly seen Courtney and Jake over the years--I cannot praise these two enough because they both continue to help improve my quality of life from their hands on approach, dry needling, etc. to help me enjoy life. Anyone can go anywhere for physical therapy, however, what keeps me going back to Active PT is the overall quality of care and treatment.

Fantastic experience: I was very satisfied with all aspects of ACTIVE PT. When entering to be called on a first name was very welcoming. I now have no pain in my knee. The dry needling was amazing. This was a good experience with a great physical therapist Hunter.

Fantastic experience: I met Savannah at Active PT for mobilizing my ankle fracture. When I met her for the first time, I was scared to walk or climb stairs. Even standinh was painful. She not only helped with my ankle recovery but also gave me confidence to not only walk but also run. She was very patient and thorough at every visit. She even adjusted appointments according to my schedule. I had a great experience and highly recommend her. Thank you for being so kind and patient always.

Fantastic experience: An excellent experience! I needed information on how to support my routine with my flat feet - footwear recommendations and a home program to help me with long afternoons of standing for events or walks with my family. The customer service rep was friendly, informative and efficient. My PT Kayla was knowledgeable on the issue, explained things to me to help me gain the most from my session and provided great footwear recommendations and home program. She made sure we were on the same page with session expectations and I left feeling informed and well taken care of! Grateful ActivePT is here to serve the community!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Active PT to anyone. My therapist Michael was very helpful after jaw surgery. My range of motion improved and pain was greatly diminished. The staff at the Rochester RAC location are great to work with and the customer service is fantastic. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and worked around my schedule as needed. I was always greeted by name and with a smile. Thanks Michael and team!

Fantastic experience: Jan 27th 2022 I fractured my wrist during a solo session at the gym. I am so grateful that Courtney was there to help me on the day of the injury but also throughout my recovery to getting back to Karate and CrossFit. By end of June, I was back at doing my normal workouts, thanks to Courtney’s guidance and PT! She tooled me up with techniques that I still use to warm up my wrists. I hit some major milestones recently by doing the lifts that I wasn’t able to do for the past five months!!! Extremely grateful for Courtney’s guidance and PT. Thank you!! ====Review for Pelvic Floor PT ===••• I had a surgery in June and at 3 week I met with Heather Dunfee for pelvic floor therapy. Heather was very helpful in educating me in what pelvic floor was and explaining how to strengthen it. I benefitted from her therapy and was back on my normal workout routine within 4-5 weeks. My biggest take away was the education and the importance of pelvic floor strengthening. I highly highly recommend working with Heather!

Fantastic experience: Dry needling completely got rid of my tennis elbow!

Fantastic experience: After more than 10 years of suffering from TMJ jaw pain and even going through bite ramps and various realignment devices, it wasn't until I went to ActivePT to see Mike Walsh that I discovered that my TMJ pain was not something I simply had to accept for the rest of my life. I cannot recommend enough this route for addressing TMJ discomfort. It may not work for everyone because each person and case is different, but I wish this avenue had been recommended to me so much sooner. We did many treatments and they varied from appointment to appointment, but from each one I left with a better understanding of my condition and some tools to address my own triggers or unexpected stress bouts. This allowed me to become my own manager for my condition instead of making me solely reliant on their help. That says a lot about their ideas on therapy. We did manual massage, deep treated my hypertonic mastoid and pterygoid with dry needling and went through many routines that I could reinforce to help manage my condition in the future. It has been an eye-opening experience and I would recommend it to any person suffering from TMJ, if only for the opportunity to see if a non-invasive route to pain relief is possible. Thank you, Mike, for all your work.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly, and sincere staff. Quality throughout!

Fantastic experience: The professional staff at Active PT, in Preston MN helped me heal from an injury. I hobbled in and left with a spring in my step! The best of small town caring service combined with the expert level of skills and communication one would expect only in a larger city. Thank you Mike and Johnny!

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Active PT by my orthopedic physician at Mayo Clinic Rochester. Melissa Larson DPT assessed my ankle issues and set up a plan. I injured my ankle after mountain hiking in August of 2021. I became a patient of Melissa's in April of 2022 and in less than 6 weeks I am pain free and hopeful that I can once again enjoy activities such as hiking etc without pain. It took me awhile to figure out my ankle issues, because I had appointments with a variety of professionals. Glad I was referred to Active PT and I highly recommend their care for your pt needs.

Fantastic experience: I LOVED Active PT!!! The building was easy to get to get to, easy parking, easy to schedule, friendly, knowledgeable staff AND they got my shoulder working!!!

Fantastic experience: I was registered for Fargo Marathon 2022, and having hip pain prior to training. I couldn't run due to the pain. The team at ActivePT got me back on my feet and running. They helped me all the way through training and helped me cross the finish line! Without them I know I wouldn't have even made it to the start line. They were attentive to my needs and always friendly throughout these past few months. Thank you team!

Fantastic experience: I have gone here for all my PT needs. Would recommend to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Had needling done for my jaw. It helped relieve all the tighten muscles there

Fantastic experience: My experience at Active PT in Preston, MN was beyond what I had even hoped for. Both Mike and Johnny were exceptional and worked hard to get the best results possible. I am so glad that I was referred here. Many, many thanks to Mike and Johnny!!

Fantastic experience: Melissa L. is a very knowledgeable Physical Therapist. She is skilled at her treatment plans and care. She listened to my concerns, goals, and was very professional at all therapy sessions. The desk staff was very professional and kind

Fantastic experience: This is Lora Low responding, not Randy. All of my time with Melissa was positive and instrumental in my recovery from a fall. It was my first experience with physical therapy, and I would happily return to Melissa for additional treatments when needed. She educated me with computer graphics and listened carefully to my observations of what was happening with my leg. With her guidance, I was emboldened to continue to find out the cause of my long-term leg pain. Only after a series of requests of the medical community over more than a year were the tests ordered, which discover an incomplete fracture. Finally, we had the answer. My future may well require more physical therapy, and I will definitely look to Melissa for that help. I am grateful for her help.

Fantastic experience: Active PT has been the place I've ever received physical therapy. I've been in and out of pt my whole life , have had over 5 surgeries, and I have never been so taken care of by a clinical setting. Every member of the front desk staff know me by face and name, and I'm greeted so warmly the second I step into the building. Matt, Lauren, and Ellie have been especially accommodating, sweet, and as helpful as possible when it comes to fitting 3x a week therapy into my already busy schedule. I mainly utilize the Hydro Therapy offered at the RAC location, with occasional land appointments. It has been such a blessing to be able to swim (my favorite thing!) twice a week , and to get to meet with my incredible Therapists who work with me in the water and on land, Megan Bernard and Francine Kovash. Those two are such incredible gifts to the world who have shown over and over again that they will bend over backwards to get your needs , inside the clinic or not, taken care of. They are more than just another doctor or therapist. They are true friends. It's so obvious how much they care, and how much they love their work. I have been coming here for a year and I will never go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, knowledgeable staff, I made massive gains in a shirt amount of time.

Fantastic experience: Courtney is an incredible DPT and a wonderful person! She taught me so much and we exceeded all expectations for recovery. I recommend her to anyone seeking physical therapy. 100%

Fantastic experience: My experience at Actice PT in Byron was phenomenal. The treatment plan they designed was thoughtful and robust, and my recovery was swifter than anticipated. The staff were friendly, conscientious, and knowledgeable - and I would eagerly recommend Active PT to anyone in need of PT services.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Hunter Scherr is great at what he does! He offered so many different approaches to pain and mobility issues I had. He's respectful, but also adds a flare of fun to the appointment. Sad to say goodbye at my discharge appointment today, but very thankful for his hard work and flexibility in my treatment and scheduling. Hunter truly cares about his patients and gives them just enough push to begin their healing and seeing it thru to the (hopeful) end.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best physical therapists in the state!

Fantastic experience: Johnny & Mike did an awesome job helping my 11 year old daughter strengthen her knee that was giving her some pain.. Now she has no pain. I would highly recommend either of these two guys at the Active PT clinic in Preston. Thanks again Johnny & Mike Dustin & Addison McCabe

Fantastic experience: This practice is phenomenal. My therapist, Kayla Kramer, is especially amazing. I’ve been to physical therapy for years for various ailments and this experience was better than anything I’ve experienced previously. I’m pleased to report that my ankle and foot are exercise ready. Thank you Kayla!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Savannah Meaike and she was awesome. I am a marathon runner and injured my knee between running marathons a month a part. Savannah was able to make an assessment over zoom and diagnose the problem and suggest a few recovery strategies. She also recommended techniques to improve my running form to help me run the next one. Most importantly she gave me the confidence to keep going! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great place had a great experience 100% recovery

Fantastic experience: I worked with Savannah who was quickly able to identify the underlying cause of my symptoms when running and, through a combination of PT visits for dry needling and cupping and at-home targeted exercise, I was back to full mileage with a new half marathon PR in a couple months. The staff there is friendly and I would strongly recommend Active PT!

Fantastic experience: Staff is very knowledgeable and dedicated to getting you as healthy as possible as quickly as possible.

Fantastic experience: I could not have been where I am in recovery if not for the help and expertise of Jill and ActivPT. With her knowledge of running and experience she helped me recover and get stronger. They care about people and want to help you succeed and keep you active. She knew which strength exercises would help me and the running analysis helped pinpoint weakness areas to work on. They are phenomenal!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Mike for all your help! Active PT is a great rehab center.

Fantastic experience: I’m a senior citizen who, after limping for years, decided to have both knees replaced — one in April 2021 and the other in July. My physical therapist was Graeme Campbell. I wish I could fully express my appreciation for his excellence. He listened to my concerns and tailored a program to fit my needs. He encouraged me and challenged me. Now, in November, both knees have exceeded my — and my doctor’s— expectations, with range over 125 degrees. If I could give Graeme 10 stars, I would!
