Linda S.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr Kalvin,I had tendinitis in my knee and hamstring, after 6wks of P.T my pain level went from a 10 down to a 1. He was absolutely amazing, very informative and patient with me. Thank you so much for taking care of me 💖

Chelsea N.

I have gone to many physical therapists over the years and PRO Therapy has been one of the best. I have been here for two separate injuries. They have been able to pinpoint where my symptoms are coming from quickly, explain the issue throughly, and create an effective plan of action. My pain has decreased since coming here! It is a nice, friendly environment, with good conversation.

Ben J

Strongly recommend for physical therapy. I saw Dr. Lily for a running-related injury. She was fantastic and helped me recover from my injury and get running again. The facility was very nice, and everyone I interacted with there was great. Thank you!

Jeff L.

Dr. Lily is an excellent therapist - knowledgeable, positive, professional, I can't recommend her highly enough.

Dallas S.

Was a great place for therapy Dr conner when to great length to getbmy shoulder fix. Yes Gin was a greatvhelp with my schedule. I would say who ever you get for your therapist you well be happy. They all are very friendly and are there to help. Thanks to all staff Dallas

Knel L.

Went in for help with my knee as it usually gets tight when I run. We went through a few sessions and honed in on what the problem potentially is. Dr. Kelvyn pointed a few things out that I wouldn't have figured out myself. Since the problem is probably form and/or muscle related it won't be an overnight fix. I get a set of exercises to do each visit that address my areas of weakness. It was good working with Dr. Kelvyn and definitely recommend checking out PRO Therapy

Anthony H.

Excellent Care! Personally Customized Therapy. Over the course of several months I had the privilege of receiving physical therapy from Dr. Lily Anderson, that was tailored to me and my specific ailments. Beyond the arch of progress through the treatment plan, each appointment was customized to my needs and ability of the day. She was able to help me have reduced pain, increased mobility and strength in all my areas of need. This amount of detailed attention was astounding. I felt truly cared for, and am filled with gratitude. Thank you Lily!

Debbie E.

I had 5 sessions of physical ther6with Dr Kelvin. This was my first experience. I felt listened to & he made every effort helpful my symptoms. I enjoyed the dry needeling experience. I have had some pain rein these 5 sessions and look forward to more progress with the exercises he gave me to do this winter while snowbirds. Clean clinic and friendly staff. Much appreciated. Thank you,

Best PT ever.

La C

The best choice I made!.. I had initially gone to a different physical therapist connected with Mhealth after 2 visits I was unhappy with the service I received, decided to check out Pro-therapy.
Pro-Therapy was exactly what I needed. I mainly worked with Dr.Ben, who was amazing at focusing on the problem, personalizing a therapy program. A program to achieve goals that were important to me. I would highly recommend Pro-Therapy!

Matthew G

Receiving therapy at PRO Therapy was a great experience. Dr. Lily used a variety of methods to effectively treat my injury and relieve my pain. She and everyone at PRO Therapy was very helpful, courteous, and welcoming.

Sarah Brown

Dr. Lily is the best PT I ever have. Pairing needling and cupping with bodywork is outstanding and unique. She is realistic in what I can do while working towards my goals.

Greg Alstadt

I highly recommend PRO Therapy for rehabilitation services. I worked with a large PT system before this with my first shoulder surgery recovery. I received a more personalized program for my second shoulder surgery recovery with PRO Therapy. Kelvyn provided specific exercises and therapy that were designed for me, and they changed as I progressed through the program. I had great results with the therapy and was able to get back to my normal physical activities without pain.

Vanessa Woods

My experience at PRO THERAPY was just what I needed after my back surgery. Dr. Kelvyn motivated and guided me through my exercise program with professionalism and integrity. I am greatful for the services I received from Dr. Kelvyn and PRO THERAPY

Amanda Claessens

All of the staff I interacted with here are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I worked with Dr. Conner and saw improvement in my situation after one session. He asked questions, was informative, and was really fun to work with. I’d recommend PRO Therapy to anyone!

Kate

1725544855

I’ve been to PRO Therapy for two separate issues and both times my providers have been thorough, kind and willing to educate. I will continue coming back to PRO Therapy for any PT needs!

Mark Norris

1724848182

I've had PT in many locations from many different providers. ProTherapy is the most upbeat group of EXPERT DPTs that will motivate, guide, and support you as you regain strength, flexibility or wherever you may be on your journey to greater health. And they are FUN!!
ProTherapy has been a great partner for me through back and knee rehab along with pre- and post- hip replacement care. ProTherapy rocks!

Dr. Lily is my PT hero!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with PRO Therapy! I felt like everyone I worked with here truly cared about me and my recovery. I worked with Dr. Kelvyn for a running related injury and not only did he help me get back into running, he also worked with me on different exercises I can incorporate to prevent future injury. He is very knowledgeable and I learned so much about form, stretching, and strength training from my time here. I’m so grateful for my experience here and would highly recommend PRO Therapy!

Maureen Sullivan

Lily was so skilled and knowledgeable in helping to resolving my pain. She worked with me to get me back to safely working out on my own again. I definitely have recommended Pro Therapy to family & friends.

Dan Kohler

Worked with Dr. Lily Anderson after trying another PT to help with back pain. Highly recommend!

Randi LaFleur

1717535776

I had a very persistent issue with hip flexor tendonitis. Due to an upcoming dive trip, Trent fit me in for a session on fairly short notice. I had a steroid injection prior to therapy that probably took away half the pain but Trent worked with me to get me on the road to less pain and more range and activity. I'm not quite pain free but much, much better. I was able to do 2 dive trips (going up boat ladders with 40 lbs of equipment on) and I'm working my way back to summer activities. I appreciate Trent's expertise and encouragement to recover from a complicated and persistent injury.

Jack Wirtz

1716508404

Kelvyn is fantastic! I had pain in my lower back after messing up a lift, and he worked with me to recover and strengthen, as well as giving me a good mental base to go off of in my lifts. Highly recommend Kelvyn!

1716483461

Dr. Lily is stellar! She focuses on finding the right balance of movements, paying close attention to when I was ready to progress. She's truly a subject matter expert with dealing with tough issues like nerve pain/sciatica/back pain. We worked together virtually and my experience was amazing. I'm power hiking again, ready to start running regularly, too, and feeling great! I highly recommend Dr. Lily and the Protherapy team. Thank you, also, to Jen, for all your help coordinating my visits and billing info.

Colby Taylor

1715867174

Had a great experience at Pro Therapy! I had the opportunity to work with Kelvyn Van Laarhoven. He helped me with the pain in my feet ankles due to posterior tibial tendinitis. They helped loosen, add flexibility, and strengthen my ankles, calves, and hips. I would definitely go back if I need more therapy!

Jim Rataczak

1715177527

My nagging shoulder is no longer nagging. Trent Napp at Pro Therapy knows his stuff, and will be my go-to for any future PT needs. Highly recommended.

Simon Anderson

1713972289

PRO Therapy is fantastic! I injured my shoulder snowboarding and Dr. Lily has been incredible to work with. I'm already seeing major improvements in pain and mobility and have a clear plan that works with my schedule to continue strengthening. Jennifer in the office is also very friendly and professional. I highly recommend PRO Therapy and Dr. Lily.

Will Tran

1712511934

Ending off the year of 2023, I had the worst sciatica flare up of my left leg to date. It affected my day to day activities, causing consistent 6-8/10 pain. I often times couldn't walk for more than 5-10 minutes without needing to take a pause to let the flare up settle down. I started PRO Therapy with Dr. Kelvyn early January 2024 and over the course of 2-3 months I am back to normal! Physical Therapy is a slow, but rewarding process if you've got the discipline to stick with it. I refused to look into surgical or steroidal options and knew that if I committed to the stretching/strengthening exercising routines provided by Dr. Kelvyn, my symptoms and pain would resolve. I'd recommend PRO Therapy without a doubt to anyone seeking rehabilitation of any musculoskeletal or nerve problems. Their doctors are well-trained and their accounting/scheduling staff are very quick to respond and excellent.

Ann Geng

1712256194

I can't thank these guys enough! I've had both knees replaced in the last 5 months, and was not in good shape when I started my healing journey. Through their patience, encouragement, and expertise I have not only regained my mobility, but also my confidence!! A great group in every way!

Sue Romain

1711810844

The PT Docs at ProTherapy are the best! Knowledgeable, caring and excellent at their jobs! Once again I worked with them on an issue - they helped me successfully recover from a pulled Glute muscle that was having a difficult time healing. I’m happy to say I had a full recovery!

Helena Cruz

1711725561

I'm incredibly grateful to have found this place! After experiencing bad PT, Dr. Lily is a gift! She listens and offers thoughtful recommendations that work with my lifestyle. I have noticeable improvement and am confident that I can reach my mobility goals! Jennifer, from the front desk is incredible! She is proactive about scheduling, resolving payment confusion, and is warm and friendly. I'm in the best hands.

Sami Kinnunen

I had such a great experience here! I’m 30 years old and I went in for lower back pain. Trent was so helpful and always so positive! He was a great listener and provided different modes of treatment. My mindset about my back pain has totally shifted working with him and I feel like I now have the tools to maintain an active lifestyle. Thank you, Trent!

Raj Sastry

1709987214

I started seeing Trent with wrist issues and over the course of 2 months he helped me get back to 100% and even stronger! From the initial assessment he took the time to first pinpoint the primary issue and what was causing the wrist issues to provide the right treatment and subsequent exercises to help strengthen my wrist and get range of motion back. In between appointments he was great about following up to see how things were going and providing alternative options for workouts that involved movements that could impact my wrist. The answer was never "don't move", but seeing what we could do while still getting a similar enough workout that didn't cause any setbacks. Would definitely recommend Trent and ProTherapy and in fact am going back for a different issue

Reid Jensen

1709591144

My experience at Pro Therapy was excellent. Dr. Napp listened to what I wanted from my therapy and helped me get back on track after injury. Hopefully I never need to return but if I do need physical therapy again I will go back to Pro Therapy.

Awesome team- accommodating, friendly & knowledgeable. Went in for back mobility / pain, in ~2 months Dr. Trent had me with no pain & back to strength training.

Susan Sweezo

1707855237

Dr Trenton Napp is the BEST!! He was always so willing to alter his plan to meet my needs. I can't thank him enough for relieving me from my excruciating nerve pain from post knee replacement surgery. His skill and knowledge in working with Dry Needling, and working on my back and leg to relieve pinched nerves really saved me from enduring long-term pain and allow me to be able to walk with a normal gait. I am able to straighten and bend my knee, walk up and down stairs, and get down on the floor and back up again!!! THANK YOU!!!

Mason Dale

1706912003

I had a great experience with Dr. Trent Napp at PRO Therapy! I had been experiencing sharp back pains for a few years after a landscaping job, but after undergoing therapy and strength training, my back has been feeling much better to the point where activities like weight lifting no longer bother me like they did before. I always felt comfortable during my appointments and enjoyed going. Highly recommend PRO Therapy!

Patrick Henning

1706723692

Dr. Trenton is an outstanding physical therapist who helped me greatly. He took the time to thoroughly answer all of my questions. He also is able to pivot his approach to my recovery based on how I was feeling at any given moment. I could tell that he truly cared about helping me feel better not only during the treatment but well past that. He gave me the tools to take my recovery to the next level so that I could help myself if and when pain returned. He's also just a great guy who was really fun to get to know.

Briana Cooney

1706101049

Dr. Trent is the best! I highly recommend PRO Therapy for anyone who needs physical therapy.

Joan Rataczak

1705793753

I would whole heartedly recommend Dr Trent Napp! He effectively diagnosed and treated my low back pain as well as a long standing shoulder issue that has been plaguing me for years using a combination of interventions (cupping and dry needling), strengthening exercises and stretching techniques. He was responsive to questions (both in person and electronically), enthusiastic about his role in helping me stay on track to meet my fitness goals and always so encouraging. If you have to do PT, it might as well be fun! Thanks Dr Trent!!

Chad Larson

1704402123

I had a full tear of my LCL and biceps femoris tendon along with significant damage to my peroneal nerve. I had Posterolateral reconstruction surgery in late August and began seeing Dr. Nicole at ProTherapy 5 days after my surgery. I worked with Dr. Nicole for a few months until she moved on to another job. I then worked with Dr. Lily and Dr. Kevin for my PT needs. Everyone I came in contact with at protherapy was absolutely fantastic to interact with. They did a lot of hands on work to get my foot and ankle back in order due to the nerve injury and associated foot drop. They also set me up with a great home exercise program to help regain the strength in my quads, glutes, hips, pretty much all of the muscles in my leg that had weakened significantly due to surgery and my being non weight bearing for months. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I searched long and hard to find a PT to work with due to the rarity of my injury and I know for a fact I would not be where I am in my recovery without their help.

Mary Creegan

1703810219

I have dealt with persistent nerve pain in my arm over the past several years, which affected work, sleep, and play; quite frankly I assumed it would be something I would always experience. I work in the rock climbing industry, and climb for 8+ hrs/day for four days a week, and the pain in my arm started to become somewhat unbearable.

From the moment I contacted Pro Therapy, I have felt taken care of. The office is warm and welcoming, and Dr. Trent is incredibly approachable, and deeply cares about growth of his clients. I've been working with Dr. Trent for close to two months now, and I'm amazed at how little nerve discomfort I feel. I don't feel weakness in my arm when I rock climb, and can sleep with ease. I appreciate his thorough, knowledgable, and uncomplicated approach to therapy, and I've so enjoyed working with him!

Without a doubt, I would recommend anyone to Pro Therapy!!

Courtney Marek

1703091750

As a physical therapist myself, I highly recommend PRO Therapy and especially Dr, Lily! After an ankle injury, I sought a place to help me analyze my movement and running form, both for recovery as well as future injury prevention. I feel so grateful for the thorough assessments and education I received - I feel like a better therapist myself because of it!

I strongly recommend Pro Therapy for anyone seeking physical therapy treatment. I have worked with several of the therapists at Pro Therapy and have been very pleased with all of them and the treatments they prescribed. I had PT for my shoulder, pre and post hip replacement surgery, and most recently I have been working with Dr. Spahr for back pain. He has combined exercise with other treatments such as dry needling and types of massage. My pain lessened and became manageable very quickly. With continued treatments almost all my back pain was gone and I was able to return to physical chores such as gardening.
My goal after hip surgery was to be able to walk 8 miles on uneven surfaces. Pro therapy helped me to achieve that. Besides being very successful therapists, they are very friendly, good listeners, and are easy to work with. I am very happy with all the treatments I have received there, will definitely go back to them if need be, and without a doubt recommend them to anyone in need of physical therapy.

Dylan Pothen

Kevin helped me alleviate muscular compensation patterns I had developed from an old injury. For years I had endured pain as a byproduct from those compensations and had visited numerous physical therapists/chiropractors to no avail. Kevin was the first PT that I felt was actually listening to what I thought was going on with my body and together we built a working theory on identifying the issues and fixing them. He suggested I pair my physical therapy with chiropractic through north suburban healthcare (same building) and two months later I feel like I can see the light again. My physical therapy exercises are not exacerbating my symptoms like they used to from other PTs, and I finally feel like I am rebuilding a solid foundation to eventually enjoy the active lifestyle I have been missing out on for years. In short, if you feel like you are at the end of your rope, give Pro therapy a shot. I’m glad I did.

Barbara Johnson

It’s been a step-by-step positive experience. Therapy has helped me learn how to take care of my shoulder surgery. And I have regained strength and range of motion. I didn’t have before surgery.

I came to PRO Therapy with a bad shoulder. I could not lift my left arm above my head and had shoulder pain with the smallest of movements. Through movement, strengthening, and other techniques Dr. Kristen was able to give me full movement back in my shoulder. I am so grateful to have the pain free movement back in my shoulder. Thank you PRO Therapy and Dr. Kristen

Jessica Carnahan Brown

1650292167

I could go on and on about the wonderful experiences I have had with PRO Therapy. First Dr. Spahr did more for me in my first visit than 3 other physical therapists combined did over the course of 4 years. I was amazed! He goes above and beyond to help his patients, including moving his schedule around to fit you in when you need extra care. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I have had less pain overall going to PRO Therapy. I used to take ibuprofen almost everyday. Now I take it maybe a couple times a month. I’m truly grateful to have found Dr. Spahr and his practice. I highly recommend PRO Therapy to anyone looking for physical therapy!

This was my first time going to physical therapy and I was lead to go here, nicest staff I’ve dealt with and my physical therapist Trent, from day 1 he pushed me to what I thought I couldn't do and you realize you can do it! I went from being in so much pain to low pain in a month I highly recommend this place to anyone that’s dealing with back pain.

Quinn G

1623800202

I came in with severe back pain. As a young adult, I figured my pain was beyond repair by a physical therapist. However, that was before I had the privilege of working with Dr. Trent and Dr. Ben. My pain was diagnosed within minutes of the first visit(I figured they just wanted to get me in for another visit) so I kindly played along. But after visit 2, things started to change. I was already becoming mobile again. I went from not being able to lift my arm above my head to almost doing it after visit 3. These guys know their stuff and put me in a position to continue my labor job over 50+ hours a week with no pain. They’re the nicest men, and enjoyable to work with. I even once missed an appointment and they responded in a way that put no guilt on me. Couldn’t recommend Pro Therapy enough. Wish I could go back even though I’m
Healthy now!

Mary Julik

1623436769

Dr. Trent was great. He helped me with appropriate exercises that helped the pain to subside. I believe that if I keep doing the exercises he showed me and daily exercise I can keep the pain level down. I will certainly call if the pain returns.

Thank you, Dr. Trent

Great place to go to for Injury, I had Dr.Ben for knee injury and It was amazing to have him as my doctor gave me great exercises to strengthening the knee.

Sandy Posey

1608762357

I have had excellent care for trigger thumbs at Pro therapy. It began when I called Linda to schedule an appointment and work through insurance coverage. She always brightened my day. Dr. Kevin Spahr is a very knowledgeable PT. He has a wide range of treatment options to promote healing. One of my favorite things about Kevin is the importance he places on listening to patients. He takes this input seriously and uses it to help structure his treatment path. I highly recommend Pro Therapy as a very patient centered place to seek treatment.

Lyn Peterson

1607997024

Great place to get therapy ! Everyone very helpful. I had positive outcome. I would highly recommend this place. Dr Schacht was very knowledgeable & helped me so much!!!

Anne Miller

1603418915

Last year, I had surgery for one of the worst frozen shoulders my orthopedist had ever seen. I completed about 8 months of PT in February with a different PT. This summer, my shoulder started to regress and I became very concerned about it! I was referred to Dr. Schact and am so grateful!

Over the years, I have seen multiple PTs for knee and shoulder related injuries. Dr. Schact looked at my most recent shoulder surgery recovery in a completely different way than both of my previous therapists. I'm so grateful for the progress he helped me make and how I'm back to doing the fun things in life I couldn't do last year!

My only regret is that I didn't know to go see him last year when my shoulder started freezing up. He really is the best and I can't recommend him highly enough!

Carolyn Dewitt

I would recommend Pro Therapy without hesitation. I was treated very well and got results.

Both Kevin and Ben are excellent PTs. They made my rehab very enjoyable. I highly recommend them for any physical therapy needs.

Kara Albrecht (Kaylee)

1575678438

I've seen Dr. Kevin Spahr for two separate issues. Due to my first experience I opted to have my PT at Protherapy in Coon Rapids after a total replacement of my right knee. His care is top notch. He is dedicated to getting you the best results by tailoring the therapies he uses to your specific needs and is a very caring health professional. I felt very comfortable that my issues were addressed and met. There is nothing cookie cutter about the care received! Thank you Dr. Spahr!

Angie Stensland-Bellefeuille

1573575809

I worked with Dr Ben Schacht after a partial knee replacement surgery. I would give Dr Ben extra points if I could and here is why:
He is an excellent physical therapist. Ben Listens to my needs. He plans his therapies with a person centered goal. Ben explains every detail of his sessions and he is very knowledgeable of what he does. I tend to ask too many questions and Ben has been patient, humble, positive, caring and helped me set realistic goals. His supportive and compassionate nature helped me through the healing process. I also like his flexibility. I never once felt under pressure to do anything I did not want to do. This just shows the values and integrity of Pro therapy. I will definitely continue to work with Pro-therapy for any nature of physical therapy in the future. Thanks for letting trust in physical therapy again.

Trent McKenzie

1565037271

I worked with Dr. Ben Schacht. He worked with me on an issue with my foot and also my knees. He did a top notch job and designed a personalized physical therapy plan for me that worked great. Dr. Schacht also provided hands on therapy to the area which aided in my recovery even more. I could tell he truly wanted me to feel better and be able to live my life pain free once again. I give PRO Therapy a strong 5/5 and will be using them again should any more issues arise.

Dr Spahr made a huge difference in my neck and back pain, after struggling for 4 years after an MVA. He gave me a free 45 min phone consult as I gathered information about his program. I started with him with confidence that he could help me. What makes him different is his hands on therapy using many techniques such as graston, cupping, long needling, electro-stim, and kinesiology tape. He was always very kind, caring and professional! I would highly recommend him! KW

5 Star review for Kevin!!! He came up with a plan for my “pains”, worked on them and now I feel great! A friend recommended him to me, and I highly recommend Pro therapy to anyone who needs PT.

Kevin was always friendly. He communicated clearly about my plan, current and future expectations for treatment success, and what I needed to do to promote my own recovery. I have referred others to him and would see him again for treatment.

After injuring my back at work, I had constant, debilitating pain in my low back and leg. I sought help from Dr. Kevin Spahr at Pro Therapy and it was one of the best decisions I have made. Dr. Spahr is not like other physical therapists, who see you for 15 minutes, show you some exercises, and send you on your way. Dr. Spahr is patient, takes his time with you, listens to your concerns, and is extremely knowledgable and passionate about his work and truly cares about your well being. Dr. Spahr has helped me decrease my pain and improve my quality of life. I am happy to recommend Dr. Spahr to anyone and everyone because he truly is the best.

I have nothing but good things to say about my PT with Dr. Kevin Spahr. As a patient who suffers from Fibromyalgia and other muscle pain at times, this by far was the best PT I have ever had. The new techniques Dr. Spahr used were so helpful and the simple yet very important changes to how I perform everyday tasks were so helpful with daily living..
I would refer anyone who is suffering and in need of some meaningful Physical Therapy to give Dr. Spahr at Pro Therapy a chance. It may be the best thing you have ever done for yourself.

I had knee replacement surgery and I heard about Protherapy from a high school friend on Facebook who works with Dr Spahr and recommended him for PT. I had some therapy appointments already set up after leaving the hospital with the local clinic but decided to give Dr Spahr a call. At the appointment, we talked about my surgery, my history with previous knee surgeries and therapies, what my Orthopedist said and my expectations. I cancelled the other clinic appts and continued with Dr Spahr. He listened to my questions and concerns and explained each exercise and treatment as to what it was doing for me. I had some complications from the knee surgery and Dr Spahr made adjustments to my therapy specific to my needs. His 2 locations made it very easy to fit therapy appointments into my schedule and I was able to complete my all my recommended sessions I highly recommend Dr Spahr, my new knee is fully functional and there is no pain

I was experiencing chronic pain that had compromised my lifestyle. I made an appointment with Dr. Spahr and after an initial consultation and some simple exercises Dr. Spahr pinpointed the problem. Some simple therapy was performed which included Graston and taping along with a program to do some home stretching and the results have been very good. Dr. Spahr is very professional, extremely well educated and with the current services provided at The Clinic and Gym completes the vision that Dr. Harrison envisioned years ago. I strongly urge you to meet with Dr. Spahr for all your physical therapy needs.
