Saunders Therapy Centers, Inc

Fantastic experience: I had a really great experience with my TMJ therapy at Saunders. It is a very comfortable atmosphere with knowledgeable and friendly staff. I felt better after only a few sessions. My therapist provided me with a continuous improvement plan which included a process of stretches and strengthening exercises. She was genuinely concerned with my progress and improvement. I would highly recommend the therapy services provided at Saunders.

Fantastic experience: Thank God for this program! I had injured my back at work, and required surgery to correct the injured disc's. I was being covered by workers compensation, and had extreme difficulty being able to return to my physical job on a loading dock. I was nervous and feeling very frustrated on my first day, but the therapists at the St. Paul location guided me through a gradual process of proper lifting, strengthening, guidance, and motivation that brought me back to being able to feel like I am able to move forward! The work simulation was extremely helpful in bringing me back to being able to approach and succeed at the rigors of my job. I had one main therapist; Ty, but all of the therapists take an active role in knowing where you are at, and helping you to achieve the success that has brought me back to feeling alive! I highly recommend, without reservations, Saunders Therapy for their program and their therapists!

Fantastic experience: What a huge difference "work hardening" physical therapy made! They asked questions about what concerns/worries I had about doing my job after my surgery. They observe your current ability and go from there. They tailored my strengthening regime to my actual work activities. When I had some setbacks or muscles acting up they were very knowledgeable about how to work through it and release IT band and fascia tension. I just "graduated" and I feel confident that I can safely do my job! Thanks guys- Stacey, Lisa, Ty!! St. Paul location

Fantastic experience: Lisa Martens is fantastic! My parents were visiting for a couple of weeks and they went to the Saunders St Paul office for physical therapy for improved balance and to reduce falls. We'll definitely be coming back next time they are in town.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Saunders to anyone that is looking for top notch care with an extremely knowledgeable staff. This place is wonderful and they work with you to tailor your experience to your needs. Everyone is very friendly and eager to help you out and support you every step of the way. The journey might be hard when recovering but, when you have such great people to work with it feels a lot easier. Thanks for all the help and things you guys taught me and helping me get my confidence back needed to be able to do my job again.

Fantastic experience: Ty, Stacy, and Lisa were a great gang to work with! The targeted exercises got my torn shoulder back to working order. Thanks gang!

Fantastic experience: The definitive difference in recovery. PT got alot of the RoM back, but the staff, Lisa, Ty, and Stacey were huge in gettin the strength, dexterity, and confidence back. Spot On program.

Fantastic experience: Great experience, family oriented. Comfortable with all staff. If anyone need physical therapy I would recommend saundes- therapy 755 prior ave. North Saint Paul MN 55104. I'm a New person. Love being there. Great equipment to get me back together again.

Fantastic experience: The staff at Saunders are spectacular very well trained and experienced. The level of professionalism was off the charts. When I wanted to quit they propelled me forward. They wouldn't let me quit. The work hardening therapy was exactly what I needed to get back to a full-time position. I thank you all for your help.

Fantastic experience: St Paul staff are amazing. I'd go see Lisa in a heartbeat if I needed ortho PT. Ty, Stacy, Lisa, and Megan are a successful industrial team. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing physical therapy experience with the folks at Saunders therapy center! Their willingness and ability to adapt the course of treatment to specifically meet the needs of my job was amazing! Moreover the individuals that work at saunders are fun and easy to work with as well as exceptionally professional and capable individuals. I would definitely recommend the team at Saunders to any friend or coworker that was in need of physical therapy or occupational therapy. I would be extremely confident that their experience would match mine!

Fantastic experience: I went to Saunders for a pulled hamstring and saw Lisa Martens for physical therapy. I was extremely satisfied with my experience. Lisa took time to understand my recovery objectives, provided clear explanations for my therapy as well as guidance on how to gauge progress between sessions. I would highly recommend Lisa Martens and Saunders Therapy, particularly if you are an athlete or active person who wants to get back out there doing the activities you love.

Fantastic experience: I cannot express enough the gratitude in service received from Saunders Therapy Center, St. Paul. I believe that the staff (Lisa, Megan, Stacy & Ty) truly make Saunders different from other Therapy Centers. The dedication of these individuals make the difference. This team exceeded my expectations. The Physical Therapy team understood my needs and put together a program with realistic goals. The service was exceptional. I was enrolled in the Word Hardening program and from day 1 realized this was my answer to getting back to normality. The activities assigned to me were related to my everyday life styles, tailored to meet my workplace needs. The team always asking questions on how you are feeling while guiding you through. Love the communication and empathy you have all shown. Thank you for a great experience. 5+. Matt Rappa

Fantastic experience: The crew members are very professional and serious about their craft. From day one, I thought that they had my health as the primary concern to get better. Couldn't have asked for better service. Ty, Sarah and Lisa, amongst the rest of the staff, were great. I would recommend Saunders therapy to anyone seeking help to get back to where you need to be.

Fantastic experience: LIsa did a great job diagnosing my low back pain and giving me treatment plan that made sense to me. Gives me great hope after Chiropractor was not the right path. I will go to PT sooner if this happens again.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Saunders Therapy in St. Paul enough! PTs and supportive staff are knowledgeable, understanding, kind, and timely. My physical therapist Ty Zajic was a complete pleasure to work with. He was super supportive and is such a positive and sweet human being. The office coordinator, Lisa is organized, friendly, and always ready to answer any questions or concerns. I’ve been involved in a lengthy Workman’s Compensation situation. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. Working with Saunders completely helped my physical and most importantly my mental state. I actually teared up when I left after completing the program. I will miss all of the amazing staff. If you find yourself needing physical therapy or referred for work hardening, I urge you to choose Saunders Therapy in St. Paul. I actually enjoyed going each day.

Fantastic experience: Last week I completed work hardening therapy at the St Paul location. I'm most grateful, for the amazing and diligence staff (Ty), which has gotten me to where I am today. My experience here has more than exceeded my expectations of what physical therapy is. Not only did they help me recover from my shoulder injury, they also helped me find a part of myself, that I'd lost due to my injury. Saunders designed a treatment program especially for my shoulder injury and tweaked my program for maximum results. I had my doubts at first that work hardening was going to work, but within weeks I was feeling a difference. I’m living proof that the impossible is possible, when you have a dedicated staff that works to promote life changing results. I highly recommend Saunders to anyone in need of physical therapy. Thank You!!!

Fantastic experience: I am seeing Lisa Martens for physical therapy due to a broken arm (radial head fracture) and frozen shoulder. She is skilled, encouraging, and responsive to questions and worries. Most importantly, I am significantly improving under her care! This practice has also been extremely helpful to my husband and several friends. The administrative staff, Sam and Kathy, make appointment setting easy and always have a warm greeting when I come in. I highly recommend Saunders Therapy Center in St. Paul.

Fantastic experience: I attended Saunders St. Paul for a 3 day FCE evaluation. These people are top notch!! I honestly can't say enough good things about my experience with them. I had already had a bad experience at another facility and I was beyond frustrated when I was referred to Saunders St. Paul, Minnesota location. I actually flew from out of state to attend the FCE evaluation due to the high recommendations I had received from multiple resources. I finally felt hopeful and positive after day 2 of the evaluation. The staff is exceptional! They are professional, knowledgeable, understanding, motivational, patient and they LISTEN to the client. I worked closely with Ethan for most of my evaluation but the entire staff is actively involved and available at any time. I highly recommend them for any type of physical therapy or work conditioning needs. I had a much better understanding of what was going on in my situation after my evaluation with them. I can't tell you how much more at ease my mind was. Absolutely worth the trip!! Thank you Saunders!!

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to gotten to know the team at saunders. They gave me the knowledge and confidence to go back to work. Ty, megan, staci, and ethan all gave me great advice. They taught me how to take care of minor flar ups if i have them. Thank you for all the knowledge greatly appreciated. You guys are awesome.

Fantastic experience: Don't look any further for a great PT or work hardening program. Very grateful for the team at Saunders in St.Paul. They are a great team who want to see you succeed in your recovery.

Fantastic experience: Ethan and his crew were phenomenal in helping me regain my endurance to return to work after an injury! My primary trainer Ty Z., was professional, knowledgeable and very helpful- Everyone there was very friendly! They dealt well with my "care team", and handled my temporary claim issues fantastically. The facilities were clean and well kept. I definitely recommend them to anyone seeking treatment before returning to work!

Fantastic experience: I went to the Saunders St. Paul site for a workability assessment after being referred by my physical therapist. I have had workability assessments in the past due to an ongoing medical condition. This one was different, though it had many similar elements. I felt that my evaluator, Ethan, took notable care to develop an evaluative process that took into account the complexities of both my medical history and my employment situation -- both of which have multiple elements that are unique and highly specific to me. I felt that I underwent an accurate test of my abilities and of how they intersect with my job duties. It was a demanding evaluation, but an altogether appropriate one. I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked in the first day, but all in all I had a thorough, fair evaluation that I actually enjoyed. I definitely recommend Saunders to anyone in need of physical therapy or a workability assessment.

Fantastic experience: I've needed PT services for a variety of medical issues, and I always go to Saunders Therapy. Several years ago, a fellow church member recommended I see Amy Molzen Stuke when I mentioned I was looking for a PT provider in St. Paul. I was impressed by Amy's professional manner, knowledge, and friendly personality that made it easy to talk with her about my situation. After Amy moved to another office, I started receiving services from Lisa Martens. She provides the same excellent care as Amy and posseses the same professionalism, high levels of expertise and skill, and friendliness. Lisa is excellent at explaining diagnoses, treatments, and exercises in everyday language. She comes to each session with an upbeat atttidude and a positive outlook about my potential for recovery. When I receive care from her, I always have confidence that I will experience healing from any injury I sustain. The administrative staff are always welcoming and friendly. I feel comfortable and valued when I come for an appointment. Every time I've had the opportunity to recommend a PT provider to friends and family, I've always referred them to Saunders Therapy, and I'll continue to do so.

Fantastic experience: Awesome Physical Therapist. Took me from a 0 to being able to do the job a love. Big thank you to Ethan, Ty, Stacy and Megan. You guys and gals saved my career and my sanity and functionality. Thanks all.

Fantastic experience: I must say thank you to the entire staff at the St Paul location . I began my journey in mid February after being injured on my job. Megan,Ty, Ethan and Stacy helped me believe I could get back to who I used to be, they achieved their goal. The work conditioning program was excellent. I would recommend anyone to go to Saunders for physical therapy. It was nice to go to a place where the staff actually cares about their clients.Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I will always remember you. Also hello to Sydney!

Fantastic experience: My mom goes to therapy at Saunders that is located in St . Paul. I love the people there. I have been taking my mom there for about 5 months . The first time I took her there she was in a very bad shape and she was not able to walk. With the help of Ethan Capers my mom now is able to walk . I’m very happy with the amazing job he has done. Great customer service !

Fantastic experience: Mr. Ethan Capers= RESULTS! Hands down the best Physical Therapist I’ve ever worked with. He has taught me stretches and exercises that I will use for the rest of my life! Thank you Saunders Therapy, especially Mr. Ethan Capers

Fantastic experience: I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to go to Saunders. The long two and a half hour drive each way was well worth it. A co-worker of mine recommended I work with Ty and Ethan which of course I took his advise. Both helped me overcome what I thought was going to be a disability. Pushed me to work hard and not give up on myself. I’m feeling stronger than ever before and I thank both Ty and Ethan for that. I’ve been spreading the word to friends and other co-workers about how great of a place Saunders is. Once again, thank you guys so much for helping me get back to full duty. It truly means a lot!

Fantastic experience: I had been having issues with my shoulder and went to Lisa for help. She has been amazing. She's been very attentive in working with me and I am back to pain free movement. She is great!

Fantastic experience: Saunders was recommended to me for work hardening therapy and it was a great place for it. Ty and Stacy were great at setting goals and challenging me. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to go to Saunders from my surgeon for their work hardening program, after a very lengthy stint off of work after CMC Thumb Joint Arthroplasty. I was very impressed when I called and talked to Rosie, and she was able to get my paperwork through in a few days, so that I could meet my return to work goals. Dr. Ethan was an amazing Physical Therapist! He was energetic, passionate, and caring. He developed a very strategic plan for me to build strength and condition my body so I could return to work. I had the pleasure to work with Ty and Stacy. Ty was awesome. He wanted to get to know you, and he was super excited to see your progress. He had idea of how to do things differently, to achieve optimal results. I met Stacy my first day, as she was working at the front desk. I was super nervous on day one, but after talking to Stacy, I was totally relaxed. Stacy was just helping out at the front desk, but you would never know that. I can’t say anything more about how awesome I was treated at Saunders!! I highly recommend anyone who has a physical therapy need, or needs to do a work hardening program to come here!! The staff is awesome!! Ethan, thank you so much for developing an awesome for program for me! I’m back to work and feeling awesome! I was very sad when I had to leave Saunders, as I made some wonderful friends!! I’m very blessed that Dr Adam Bakker referred me to Saunders Physical Therapy!!!

Fantastic experience: I went here for physical therapy after having pain in my knee that had been getting worse off and on for several years. I tried researching online and doing a lot of different things to get the joint working well again, but I couldn't figure it out. Some friends from my gym recommended Saunders, so I finally scheduled an appointment. Ethan Capers quickly diagnosed the issue, taught me some exercises, and put me on track to getting healthy. It took several weeks of hard work, but I was amazed at how fast I went from starting to wonder if I would need surgery to feeling healthier than I have in a while. Also, Ethan completely understood the demands of my active job and hobbies. He talked about how to do things right rather than stop doing them.

Fantastic experience: Lisa M. at Saunders Therapy Center in St Paul helped my tennis elbow behave and now I am back to normal after a few weeks here and there of physical therapy. The office is very welcoming and the rooms are clean. They are taking the proper precautions to fight Covid19.

Fantastic experience: Saunders therapy technique not only focused on my problem area. They also access all the movements and muscles I use during my daily activities at work. And they strengthen those areas as well. I would highly recommend Saunders therapy. Great staff. It's more than just a work out. They pay attention to your body. Then they work from there. This was a pleasant experience. 5 STARS

Fantastic experience: Lisa Martens at Saunders Therapy was recommended to me by a friend, and I'm so grateful she was! Thoughtful, intuitive and compassionate, she embodies the best of what a health care provider can be. Shout out to Sam at the front desk, too! :)

Fantastic experience: Saunders staff is the best. They treat you like you are part of their big happy family. My physical results after only 6 weeks are unimaginable. Saunders rock!!!!

Fantastic experience: I traveled two and a half hours every other day to Saunders and couldn’t be happier with the results. Just wanted to thank Ty and Stacy who worked with me and made sure that I was worked hard and made sure I understood what to do and how to do it safely. The pushed me in getting everything out of the workout I could get and encouraged me the entire time!! They worked really well together making me feel welcome and confident in myself and ability to return to my work at full duty!! I can’t thank them enough!! I would recommend them to anyone who needs help getting their body back to where it needs to be. Just wanted to thank them both again!!! Also Andy at the front desk did an excellent job welcoming me every time I arrived!!! Good luck with your future studies Andy!!

Fantastic experience: I was sent here for the work hardening program after an on-the-job injury and was skeptical of what to expect. Going there with an open-mind and the will to get back to work in my regular role, along with the guidance and coaching of Ty Zajic and Stacy Schiltz made a huge difference. They took the time to show me different ways of controlling pain without taking medications and different ways to use weights to gain strength. They were patient with me and also knew how to push me to help me reach my goals. They let me work at my own pace while keeping me on track to achieve my best outcome and return to work within 8 weeks. Ty and Stacy were awesome - thanks for everything you've done for me.

Fantastic experience: Over the years I have had therapy at several different locations in Saint Paul with 6 different therapists.In 2015 my doctor recommended Lisa Martens at Saunders Therapy for hip pain I was experiencing. I have gone to Lisa at Saunders exclusively since then. I love the fact that it's a smaller center and feels more personal. The office staff is very friendly and make it easy to make an appointment which fits my schedule. I can't say enough good things about Lisa. She's a careful listener, diagnoses the problem and prescribes exercises that really work! So if you want a center where a friendly person picks up your call right away, that is small and personal, where parking is close by and most importantly where you get GREAT care....call Saunders!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Jason when he was stationed at Edina Saunders and I can’t say enough nice things about this gentleman. There were days when I didn’t want to come to the “ work hardening” program but the people at Saunders were very motivating and kind, it was easy to get going with them there. Thank you for all of your help Jason!

Fantastic experience: I had great treatments from Barbara for balance problems I've been having as the result of damage to my vestibular system. Barbara was a very enthusiastic and motivating therapist who made a point of doing extra reading about my particular condition so she could give me the most-informed treatment available. She made sure I kept up my exercises at home between sessions and I showed good improvement. I would definitely recommend Barbara for all of the treatments she specializes in.

Fantastic experience: I received wonderful care at Saunders. I saw Dr Lisa Martens when I was 7 months pregnant and couldn't sleep due to back pain. She was able to quickly assess and address my condition and had me sleeping through the night again after just a few visits!

Fantastic experience: My experience with Saunders in St. Paul was excellent. I chose their site as it was very close to my home and I got lucky! They were able to start me in PT as soon as the surgeon ordered after my total shoulder replacement surgery, and the staff were all nothing but professional, competent, pleasant, and timely. My physical therapist Barb W was outstanding, and a perfect match for me. She was clearly very knowledgeable and her manner and approach were very user-friendly. I felt she nudged me when needed but there was no drill sergeant stance (which I don't do well with). With Barb's guidance I was able to make great improvements in mobility and my strength is improving. Lastly, it was fun (is that allowed in PT?!?). My recovery is still a work in progress but I have a good foundation to build on thanks to Barb and everyone else I encountered at Saunders (that's you, Sam and Kathy!). I am so pleased and highly recommended this clinic. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: My experiences at Saunders were exceptional. Dr. Lisa Martens thoroughly assessed my condition, communicated clearly the underlying issue, and developed and implemented a treatment plan that quickly made an impact. She brings both deep knowledge of PT as well as outstanding communication skills. The staff members at the office help to create a welcoming environment. I strongly recommend this clinic for personalized, high quality care.

Fantastic experience: Saunders has a great staff,very friendly,very helpful, My rehabilitation went better than expected, thanks to Ty for pushing me everyday. I would personally recommend this facility to anyone who needs therapy. Thank you Mike Huesman

Fantastic experience: I could not be happier with the care I received here on my road to recovering from a concussion. All the therapist here were so kind and helpful in so many ways. Never been treated so well and listened to so intently. From the therapist to the receptionist, it was a very pleasant place to go and reccomend this to anyone seeking therapeutic rehabilitation.

Fantastic experience: I came to Saunders with a sprained ankle that wasn't healing. Physical therapy is new for me and wasn't sure what to expect. Wow - am I a convert! I worked with Lisa Martens and was immediately impressed with her depth of knowledge, her ease in assessing the situation and giving me practical treatments and insight on how to heal and recover. I am so glad I made the decision to see Lisa! I'd recommend her to anyone needing help and recovery from an injury. Thank you, Lisa and the Saunders Team!

Fantastic experience: Both John's and and Tyler are very interested and have genuine interest in the well being of your recovery. They will help you set your goals and ultimately reach your goals. Thank you very much for the compassion in the gental pushing through a rotater cuff surgery recovery
