Brian is the best! I was having lower back issues and went to Brian for dry needling. He was able to find the spots that were bothering me and help me get back to doing this simplest things like laundry! Definitely someone to go to if you're having any issues! Jamie Ischer2024-11-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Brian at LAB Sports Therapy with excruciating back pain. I was able to walk by this point (the week prior I couldn't stand upright without my back locking and spasming), but this was the second time this same injury took hold of me in the same year. The down time, inability to go to the gym, and suffering while at work were starting to effect my mood. In my sessions, Brian used an approach of varied stretching practices and dry needling. These methods really accelerated the healing! Brian was patient, a good listener and strategic in his approach to my therapy. I now have a variety of tools to use in the future for prevention and to address pain should the pain return. If you feel like you are out of options and that living with debilitating pain is something you can just get used to, you owe it to yourself to try LAB Sports Therapy.

Great place for physical therapy and more! Sydney Runsewe2024-10-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Brian was amazing. He is someone who is trust worthy and knows what he is doing. He has helped me gain confidence in my knee again after undergoing acl surgery. He will get you right! Dollins2024-10-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went into LAB Sports from some back pain I’ve been experiencing due to weight lifting. Dr. Brian Ishola did a phenomenal job isolating what the issue could be, by having me do various movements. Once he had a lock on the issue he incorporated a dry needling technique to help relieve some of the tension in my lower back and gave me exercises to help strengthen back up the muscle in my lower back. I highly recommend anyone who’s having any sort of pain or discomfort and you’re not sure why to check out LAB Sports. Dr Brian Ishola is the best PT in Saint Paul.
