Top 10 FAQs
What conditions does LAB Sports Therapy treat in St. Paul?
We treat knee pain, ankle pain, hip pain, back pain, shoulder pain, and ACL tears, along with general sports injuries and post-surgical recovery.
What happens during a Physical Therapy Evaluation?
Your Physical Therapy Evaluation includes a full assessment of strength, flexibility, mobility, balance, posture, and movement patterns to identify the root cause of your pain before building your treatment plan.
Do I need a referral to start physical therapy in Minnesota?
In most cases, Minnesota allows direct access to physical therapy without a physician referral, though we recommend confirming your specific insurance plan’s requirements before your first visit.
What is manual therapy and how does it help?
Manual therapy is a hands-on technique used to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and restore soft tissue function, often paired with therapeutic exercise for faster recovery.
What is dry needling and does it hurt?
Dry needling uses thin sterile needles to release tight trigger points. Most patients feel only a brief muscle twitch, with mild soreness resolving within a day or two.
Can physical therapy help prevent future injuries?
Yes. Our injury prevention programs identify movement imbalances and strength deficits before they lead to pain, helping athletes and active adults train and compete with confidence.
Do you offer ACL rehab after an ACL tear?
