Martin has been amazing! My spinal Surgeon strongly recommended I have surgery. I wasn't ready to give in and go that route yet so he allowed me to do physical therapy. On my 1st visit Martin offered dry needling, while I'd never heard of this I figured it was worth a shot, after a few appointments of needling and then doing exercises I have been in considerably less pain than I ever imagined. I have been able to stop taking my pain pills and resume most of my normal activities.

Dr. Plante is a true magician! I have had countless injuries and surgeries to different parts of my body due to my very active lifestyle. Every time he consistently knows the right solution to get me fixed back up and back to activities. Thanks Dr. Plante!!

I really love Action Potential Physical therapy. The staff are very nice. Martin is my PT he is very professional and enjoys his job. He makes me feel much better with the excercises he assigns me. I recommend Martin when you need PT. Martin has alot of knowledge when it comes to PT.

I came in in a locked out brace after a micro fracture surgery. Within 4 months I was from locked out to full bend. I have most of my strength back. I can do most things I was unable to do before my surgery. Kat and Phil did an amazing job getting me back to where I was! Thank you!!!

Thanks to direct access, we can see any patient without a referral from a doctor for an initial evaluation. If our therapists believe that physical therapy is a good option for your needs, we can work with you and your physician to obtain a prescription for continued care. If your diagnosis requires additional expertise, we can also refer you to a specialist to handle your care.

Please wear or bring comfortable athletic/workout clothing to change into. This includes shorts or sweatpants, a t-shirt and sneakers. Your attire should also allow easy access to your injured area for treatment by your physical therapist.

The frequency of your treatment will depend on your physician’s prescription and the plan of care developed by your physical therapist. Most patients require treatment two to three times per week. The duration of treatment will depend on your injury and personal progress. Your physical therapist will discuss this with you following your initial exam and subsequently as you progress.

If you are unable to attend an appointment, we require at least 24 hours' notice. However, we do understand than an occasional emergency or illness may arise, in which case you may have to cancel your appointment closer to your scheduled time.

We accept most major insurances including Medicare, Tricare and workers’ compensation plans. Before your initial visit, we will verify in and out of network benefits with your insurance company. The cost of therapy is determined by the benefits of your insurance plan, including the deductible and co-pay, or patient percentage. We are happy to check with your insurance company to determine the terms of your coverage. Payment for patient responsibility is due at the time of service.

Our beliefs go beyond the business. In every interaction, and every partnership, we want to make life easier and give our partners the runway to achieve the next steps in their career.

Cathy Knutson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Phil and Catherine at the Briargate office for several years. They are treating my shoulder pain as well as a new hamstring injury. I am very happy with their professionalism and their expertise. I recommend them for all your physical therapy needs.

Seth Lindsey 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I fractured the radial head of my right elbow in early July and found that this Action Potential was the closest to my work commute so I chose this one to schedule with. I went to them from around July 17th - August 23rd, doing all of my sessions with Pat. I had an excellent and professional time every single time. Scheduling with Brie/Bre(?) was always easy and smooth and Pat brought friendly conversation and a comforting aura to the exercises every time I went. If you are hurt and need a place to get PT from, I could not recommend this Action Potential more nor recommend Pat more. We had many great conversations while he moved and "fixed" my arm. Honestly, even though I am glad to be fully healed now, I will definitely miss my 7:00 AM, Monday morning conversations with Pat. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Melodie and her staff are the best! I cannot say enough about what a great experience I had. After a pretty rough surgery I came in with significantly limited range of motion and muscle atrophy. Melodie was so professional, informative, helpful, and caring and she gave me the help and tips and tools I needed. Now I’m back to work, and back to recreation and well on my way back to 100%! I highly recommend Action Potential if you need a high quality professional physical therapist! Thank you Melodie!!!

Bart Jennings 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Baseball/Football Coach, Baseball player and Dad. I went into the office almost sure I was going to have surgery and the expertise of the Doc and therapist put me right back in the game. They narrowed down my problem and then we worked that area to heal and strengthen it . Now I am back to normal with no pain and plan to keep that area healthy. I appreciate this staff keeping me available to make an impact in my everyday life. Phil 1:6

Mel Downs 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Action potential physical therapy is a joy to work with. Very nice people and excellent physical therapist there. I've had two different experiences with them over a few years and have been totally satisfied. I'm currently getting help from their briargate facility and physical therapist Martin is fantastic. I give him a 10 rating.

andrea brown 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Phil is working with me using exercises to create an efficient function of my shoulder joint. I have had 2 surgeries on my right shoulder. In order to keep it healthy we are working to balance the muscle groups and relieve it of strain and tension. I play tennis 4-5 days a week so stretching and strengthening are essential.

M Shriver 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Phil is simply a godsend. Within minutes of his assessment, he identified the root issue (which previous PT’s just treated the symptoms) and I FINALLY had relief in minutes. Unbelievable. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can’t say it enough, thank you.

Les Kennedy 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great attitude and ability for PT.

Dr. Nathaniel Granger, Jr. 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am an Army veteran and have lived with chronic back pain for a number of years and have been to numerous physical therapist. None has been as thorough and caring as Mark L. at Action Potential. In fact, I went to Action Potential following a bicep tear and shoulder surgery and now have pain-free full function of my shoulder. Mark L. is the best!!! When Action Potential was temporarily outside of my insurance network and I was referred to another provider, I refused to go! The ONLY place I trust with my physical therapy needs is Action Potential.

Ruthanne Lucey 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was sent to Action Potential after my third foot surgery in 5 years. I needed a lot of help with balance and just walking correctly. Manipulation of my foot was also needed. I could not have found a better place. Mark Leenheer was amazing to work with. He evaluated me and and we discussed a plan of action. His helpers, Liz and Kathryn, were also wonderful to work with. Not only did they help me improve, but they built up my confidence in so many ways. I highly recommend them. Ruthanne Lucey

Went in at the beginning of December last year barely able to move after severe damage to my pelvis SI joint and hip damage after delivering my second child.

Melanie Henn 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started receiving treatment for my injured hand, wrist, and elbow after an unfortunate fall at the gym about 12 months ago.
