I’ve been dealing with plantar fasciitis for years and I thought there was no going back from the pain I felt all day everyday. Pro therapy has truly been a game-changer. From the very first visit, with Brooke she made me feel heard, supported, and hopeful. She took the time to explain my condition, tailored a treatment plan specifically for me and listen to the feed back from each visit to see what the next best thing was. Pro therapy staff been incredibly encouraging every step of the way.

The care I’ve received has been top-notch — professional, compassionate, and effective. I can already feel a huge difference in my pain levels and mobility. I genuinely look forward to my appointments because of how much relief I’ve gotten in just a handful of visits.

I Highly recommend pro therapy to anyone dealing with plantar fasciitis. They truly care about your recovery and go above and beyond to help you heal.
All in all, I am beyond satisfied with the care I’ve received with pro therapy

I was dealing with painful posterior tibial shin splints from running, and after just two StemWave sessions with Dr. Kevin Spahr, I noticed a significant reduction in pain. After the third session, I was running completely pain free! As a college athlete I've tried many recovery tools, but StemWave has been a game changer for me! The results were real, fast, and Dr. Kevin along with the the entire care team was knowledgeable, genuinely caring, and supportive! I would highly recommend StemWave for anyone struggling with inflammation or looking to speed up recovery! Being able to run without pain again was such a relief, and it truly meant the world to me!

Harrison E.

Started doing PT at PRO in April for some intense plantar fasciitis that I'd been experiencing for over a year and hadn't been able to remedy it on my own. Lily gave me a very effective Home Exercise Program to strengthen my arches & toes and did lots of great soft tissue / needle work in our weekly sessions. Two months later, my feet are feeling the strongest and most capable they've felt in a very long time and I can walk around & sleep without thinking about foot pain. I'd recommend PRO to anyone looking to deal with physical annoyances once and for all.

Jennie is always pleasant and so helpful with any and all of my questions which makes me feel safe to come to her with anything. Dr. Kelvyn is my PT and he has been great to work with so far. Dr. Kelvyn listens to my goals and I’m excited for him to keep pushing me towards my goals of PT.

Karsten J.

I fractured 3 transverse spinal processes in November 2025 and had a C section baby 3 days later. I was in quite a bit of pain with very limited mobility, and about a month after the injury, started physical therapy to ensure I could heal well and run again. Dr. Lily helped me both heal and get my back moving again, as well as some pelvic floor exercises since even though I had a C section, I had pelvic floor pain after being pregnant. After a few months, we tapered off appointments and I have sucessfully been able to run, do yoga, lift weights, and return to normal daily life again with no pain! They were very conveniently located in NE Minneapolis near me, and had great scheduling availability. I'd go again!

Anne W.

Dr. Spahr and his team at PRO Therapy work together closely to provide state-of-the-art healing therapies that help people return to doing the activities they love best. The entire team, including the front office staff, exemplifies a model of care and professionalism that really stands out to me. I highly recommend PRO Therapy.

Andrew M.

Had a great experience, they helped me recover from a calf injury I sustained during training for a half marathon. The stretching, exercises, and therapy they provided me helped me get back on track and I was able to run my race! Would recommend to any athlete!

Michelle P.

Exactly what I was looking for in a PT office. I really wanted one-on-one care that included massage/cupping and other therapies. Lily was amazing and my posture has literally never been better. Can’t recommend enough!

Ellie

PRO Therapy Pup | Masters in Snuggling

Favorites:

Favorite TV Show – All reality shows,I’m a sucker for the drama!.
Favorite Vacation – Anywhere my humans want to go –I follow! I just love being with my pack and never want to leave their side. Some describe me as needy, moody even, I call it great companionship.

What do you love most about Minnesota – Laying in the grass and playing with my friends outside. At least I think they’re my friends…a lot of times they seem to run in the other direction which is a bit confusing. But I think they’re trying to show me something at the top of a tree, “squirrels” is what they call themselves I believe, I mean what else would they be doing?

The One Thing Ellie Wants You to Know About PRO Therapy – Everyone is so friendly and they make you feel like the only pup in the world when you’re there! You get lots of snuggles, treats, water, toys which are mixed in with empathy, compassion, trust, and a true love to help others in need. True hospitality if you’re into that kind of thing. You do like treats, right?

Mia

PRO Therapy Pup | PhD in Barking

Favorites:

Favorite TV Show – I’ll be honest, I just pretend to watch anything my humans do because it usually includes snacks and that is my love language..
Favorite Vacation – Anything on the water(but not IN the water). I love boat rides where my ears flop in the wind and the sun beats down on my face! I’m always working on my tan.

What do you love most about Minnesota – Well, I like that I can go on walks a lot – my favorite is early mornings with a nice breeze. I only like three of the four seasons, but for some reason my humans think I like the sweater season. I don’t. They should get the point by now with my facial expressions every time they “try to keep me warm”, but they just keep adding to my collection of sweaters and furry vests. If you’re reading this, can you tell them to stop?

The One Thing Mia Wants You to Know About PRO Therapy – How great your experience will be when you come in! I’m usually trying to convey this in the background if you ever talk to my humans when they work from home. I have a PhD in barking, it’s important I use that skill set as much as possible.

Graham

PRO Therapy Pup | Remote Chewing professional, Master in taking toilet paper and decorating the house with it. Master at hiding socks. My humans can’t find them.

Favorites:

Favorite TV Show – Scooby Doo! Scrappy is my favorite. He teaches me tricks. Mom says scrappy is a troublemaker. I don’t know what that is yet.
Favorite Vacation – We haven’t gone anywhere yet-I am just a whittle guy still (6 months) but, I do like to go to my grandmas to see my other dog cousins. They aren’t too sure about me. I just want to play. They like to sit and stare. I am still trying to figure this out. Hmm.

What do you love most about Minnesota – So far, I love to be outside playing with my ball. I have a lot out there that I like to hide. Mom says they are filthy because I like to roll them in the dirt. I love it though.

The One Thing Graham Wants You to Know About PRO Therapy – My mom says that where she works, they really care about you. She likes to talk and make small talk-so she says everyone is like family. She gets happy when they get better-but sad when they leave. That sounds like a good place to go to for therapy, right? I will tell all my doggie friends at school.
