01Our Approach

Relief in as few as three visits, then strength that lasts.

At Fix It Physical Therapy, we view your time and physical well-being as irreplaceable. Unlocking full mobility and resolving chronic pain should never require endless appointments or passive care.

Using our master-level understanding of the movement system and our signature F.A.S.T Approach™ (Facilitation, Activation, Systematic Therapy), we pinpoint the exact biomechanical root of your limitation and deliver measurable relief and restored alignment in as few as three visits.

Then we follow up with an individualized program so you build long-term resilience, true independence from care, and the freedom to return to the active life you love.

In Their Words

I absolutely loved my experience at Fixit PT. Mahtomedi is a beautiful location. The office was nicely done. Inviting yet professional. The staff is friendly. The staff listens intently to what your needs are and best yet! they deliver on fixing it. My hip has ached for years and within minutes the pain was subsiding and my range of motion was miraculously restored. I am completely sold on this technique. Other PT, chiropractic services helped, but this is actually fixing the problem. I am very grateful to have been lead to this group. I will continue to use their services.

04How We Treat

The tools we use, and why.

Each tool targets a different stage of recovery. Together they free up the joint, reset the tissue and rebuild the strength to keep you moving.

Joint Facilitation & Mobilization

Restoring natural motion. When joints become restricted or misaligned, your body compensates with muscle tension and altered movement. Skilled, hands-on joint facilitation gently restores normal glide and range of motion to stiff joints.

Why it matters: Restoring natural joint mechanics reduces local pressure, relieves pain right away and rebuilds the foundation your body needs to move freely.

Trigger Point Dry Needling

Resetting overactive tissue and nerves. Dry needling uses micro-thin, solid needles to reach deep muscular trigger points (“knots”) and irritated nerve tissue that manual therapy alone can't reach.

Why it matters: A brief twitch response in tight muscle fibers releases deep tension, resets overactive pain pathways, increases local blood flow and speeds natural healing.

Targeted Exercise & Neuromuscular Re-Education

Building power and motor control. Pain and injury disrupt how your brain talks to your muscles. Once joint motion is free and tension is released, progressive functional exercise retrains your neuromuscular system.

Why it matters: Your brain learns to recruit the right muscles at the right time, and you rebuild the capacity to load your joints safely, whether you're lifting a child, swinging a club or getting through your workday.

05FAQs

Physical therapy questions, answered.

Your initial evaluation begins with a comprehensive movement and physical assessment, a review of your medical history and a conversation about your goals. We run targeted movement tests, find the root cause of your discomfort and create a customized treatment plan. You receive your first treatment and a personalized care plan on day one.

In many cases, no. Under Direct Access laws you can schedule directly with a physical therapist without a physician's referral or prescription. Some insurance plans still require a referral for coverage, and our team can help verify your plan's requirements before your first visit.

Most traditional therapy focuses only on where it hurts: ice the knee, stretch the hamstring, massage the lower back. But pain is often just the warning light on your dashboard, not the problem in the engine.

Our F.A.S.T Approach™ looks at your whole body as one connected movement system. By fixing how you move across the entire chain, we don't just calm your symptoms down. We keep them from coming back.

Reach us any time through our Maple Grove or Vadnais Heights location page, or email us. We aim to respond quickly, usually within one business day.
