EXCELLENT Based on 80 reviews Posted on Google Eddie MorganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started physical therapy somewhere else, and after two ankle surgeries and over a year of PT, I was basically told there wasn’t much more they could do for me. I knew I needed someone who truly cared, understood me, and would actually push to help me heal. That’s when I found Brian at LAB Sports Therapy. In half the time, he has helped me make more progress than I had made before. His knowledge, recommendations, and approach have given me confidence in the rest of my healing journey. I’m grateful I found someone who takes the time to listen, care, and get results. I highly recommend Brian and LAB Sports Therapy.

Brian has been there for me before my acl surgery by helping me choose my graft. I’m 8 months out now and I definitely wouldn’t be as far as I am without the work he puts in. He creates an own personalized program just for the patient! Highly recommended.

Brian is passionate about guiding athletes from pre-surgery decision-making through return to sport with individualized ACL rehab programs. Wishing you continued success as you move toward full return to sport!Posted on Google RLNTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Brian is fantastic to work with - professional, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. He created a personalized treatment plan, after a torn ACL and Meniscus surgery that really helped improve my mobility and reduce pain. I felt supported every step of the way and would highly recommend his care to anyone needing physical therapy. I always left feeling more confident and hopeful in my progress. Thanks to Dr. Brian’s skill, patience, and compassion, I have made tremendous improvement and feel so much better than when I started. I am truly grateful for the care I received. I cannot state enough, if you are looking for a physical therapist who is not only knowledgeable, but also kind, encouraging, and dedicated to his patients, Dr. Brian is magnificent. He listened to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and encouraged me throughout my recovery journey.

Thank you for the thoughtful review and for trusting LAB Sports Therapy after your ACL and meniscus surgery. Brian is passionate about providing personalized ACL rehab and helping patients regain confidence, mobility, and strength throughout recovery. It’s great to hear the support, communication, and individualized approach made such a positive impact. Wishing you continued success moving forward!Posted on Google Randi BaileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My soccer player daughter tore her ACL. We changed from her first PT to Brian around 4 months. I wish we would have done it sooner!! He is so knowledgeable about ACLs to the point he instantly identified an extension issue that was a scar tissue issue. Her previous PT had said it was nothing and dismissed the issue. With this, we were able to get a second surgery to clean it up and her recovery progressed even faster. He has been seeing her for 7 months now and we could not be more impressed. He is great at straight forward communication and addressing any concerns or questions you have along the way. She has achieved great strength and agility again, and it is all so personalized to exactly what she needs based on how she is doing. He is worth every penny in helping her get back to the sport she loves. Dont hesitate if you have an ACL and need to find a PT. Thanks Brian!

Thank you for trusting LAB Sports Therapy with your daughter’s ACL rehab. Dr. Brian is passionate about helping ACL athletes return to sport safely and confidently, and it’s great to hear the personalized approach made a difference. Wishing her continued success in soccer!Posted on Google Carter WoetzelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm an ultra distance runner training for a 50 mile race. I had tendon pain from the connector between my hamstring and knee. From going from 25+ miles training runs down to 1-3 miles over the course of 3 weeks was so frustrating. But after visiting Dr. Brian Ishola, he gave excellent dynamic exercises to strengthen the tendon. After following the program, I was back to running 13+ miles pain free within 10 days. Found my PT for life in Minnesota.

Wishing you the best for your 50-mile race!Posted on Google Joseph StarkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian is very professional and helped me solve problems that multiple other PTs, Chiropractors, and Masseuses were not able to solve. It takes a bit of time but he gives you a game plan and you feel a difference pretty quickly.

We truly appreciate your kind words and your trust in our services.Posted on Google Kayla PalmeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Dr. Brian later in my ACL/meniscus rehab when I was struggling to trust my knee again. He took the time to understand where I was at and built a personalized, thoughtful plan that helped me rebuild confidence, improve strength, and move better. I feel much more prepared getting back into things now, especially going into the next ski season.

As an old guy getting back into fitness, chronic hip and shoulder pains have crept back in. Brian's expert approach and outstanding teaching have addressed these issues and gotten me back into a routine quickly.
