About PRO Therapy
“We Help Adults In The Twin Cities Region And Beyond, Stay Active And Independent, To Be Able To Do The Things In Life They LOVE To Do, Free From Painkillers, Injections Or Dangerous Surgeries.”
At PRO Therapy, we love to help adults in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and above, get back to living the life they choose and deserve. A life free from addictive painkillers “masking” the root cause of your problem, unnecessary injections and risky surgeries. Our primary focus is YOU, and our primary goal is getting YOU back to enjoying the tasks and activities you’ve had stripped away from you because of back, knee, shoulder, neck, hip or ankle/foot pain.
When pain strikes the body, we know it’s very tempting to leave it and hope it’ll simply “go away on its own” with time and rest. One day you’ll wake up and like “magic”, it’ll be as if the problem never happened in the first place - but that’s usually not the case, and often the pain/stiffness/tightness ends up worse than it was when it first started.
We also understand it’s very easy to reach into the back of the cupboard for the painkillers and take them whenever pain strikes. But, the truth of the matter is that all of those painkillers (over-the-counter or prescribed) are detrimental to your health long-term, and quite simply do nothing but “mask” the pain instead of tackling the root cause.
Maybe you’re left feeling Confused? Skeptical? Fearful? Anxious? Depressed? You’ve sought advice from other healthcare professionals, maybe even a Physical Therapist in the past, but nothing they seemed to say or do helped solve your problem.
Can You Relate?
If that at all sounds like you, YOU’RE NOT ALONE. At PRO Therapy we hear this ALL the time…in fact, people who come to see us have often:

I found PRO Therapy through a Google search. I was looking for a PT near work, and loved the location so I took a chance. I lucked out! I felt an immediate connection with Dr. Spahr when we met and discussed treatment options. He listened to make sure he understood my issues and then formulated a treatment and exercise program that quickly got me back on the path to flexibility and range of motion. I trusted him with some techniques I wasn’t familiar with and was impressed with the results. I’m very happy to know he is a resource I can go back to if needed.

Earlier this spring I fell down my stairs and sprained my ankle. It was not healing quickly so I sought out the help of Dr. Spahr to help me recover. Through a series of modalities he was able to move the healing process along and with each visit my ankle improved! I would highly recommend Dr. Spahr to help you recover from an injury!

After being in a car accident mid June I have since needed a LOT of help and work to get me back to "normal"! Dr. Spahr at PRO Therapy has been a true blessing in disguise. With his unending support and guidance through all of his treatments to rehabilitate me I can't say enough how glad I am that I chose him! He is always making sure I am as comfortable as possible, I know I can communicate anything with him and he does everything he can to accommodate any changes that need to be made with my therapy. From the smile on Whitney's face at the front desk when I enter to the soothing music and warm inviting atmosphere in Dr. Spahr's office I am more than comfortable and know Dr. Spahr is taking the best possible care of me. Thank you Dr. Spahr and PRO Therapy for making this horrible situation as bright as possible! WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!!

My experience at PRO Therapy was so positive. I worked with Dr. Schacht and he was extremely helpful as I rehabilitated my shoulder. In the past I have gone to physical therapy offices where there are many patients all at once and you are mostly working independently, however at PRO Therapy you are the only patient there and receive individualized attention and treatment your whole appointment. Dr. Schacht individualized my treatment, and varied it in a way that made sense for my progress. Also, the PRO Therapy receptionist Linda is incredibly kind and helpful and has helped me figure out some major insurance referral issues. The whole staff is patient and dedicate to their patients and I can't recommend them and their practices enough!

Ben is an absolutely amazing Physical therapist!!!! I was really happy with my sessions and he always encouraged me to do the workouts i could do and even made sure i wasn't making things worse for my back when i would have done so. He is also just a really good listener! I'll definitely go back if i need more PT! (sorry this is so late ben!)

I chose PRO Therapy after a car accident I had in the fall mainly because it was a convenient location. And I am glad I did. The NE location is very convenient and comfortable with easy parking and lots of coffee shops around. I mainly worked with Ben but the whole team was always flexible and willing to work with my travel schedule, etc. to ensure I didn't fall behind. My goal was to ensure that I would get back my fine motor skills and range of motion in my injured arm/wrist. Both Ben and Kevin took the time to listen to my concerns and goals upfront as well as through the process to ensure I was comfortable and consistently making progress. Ben really went above and beyond to make sure that I was able to get back to my normal workout routine. And just recently, after a bit of a billing mistake, Linda and Kevin worked it out to make sure that I wasn't paying late fees- which I really appreciate! All in all, I'm super happy that I chose to work with the PRO Therapy team and have already recommended them to three of my coworkers.

I have had to seek out physical therapy several times in the past. I decided to go to PRO Therapy because of the many 5 star ratings it has received.And now I know why they are rated so highly. NEVER have I received such in depth care! From the extensive history taken, to the details like Ben the PT taking notes while we interact during the exercise sessions, I was completely surprised how much individual care I received!I had a meniscal tear and when I told my physician I intended to try physical therapy before starting steroid injections, he was supportive but skeptical.I AM NOW COMPLETELY PAIN FREE. So no injections for the foreseeable future. (A very good thing!)If I ever need PT again, I won’t hesitate to visit Ben at the Northeast location. I heartily recommend them!

I highly recommend Dr Benjamin Schacht. In the past when I had physical therapy the doctor assessed me once and the beginning of my treatment and left it to aides to work with me on exercises. That isn't the case with Dr. Schacht. He has worked with me one on one, not only adding exercises slowly as I've progressed, but also physically manipulating my knee and leg to ease swelling and pain. He is thorough, listens well, and is a pleasure to work with.

Both Dr. Ben and Dr. Kevin listened closely when I described my pain and were very driven to heal my achilles tendonitis. I was discharged after getting to about 90% of healing. I have days where my achilles feels close to normal and I think that I'll be able to get back to my achilles baseline with the home exercises that I was given. Both doctors use unique, hands-on treatment modalities, including Graston tools, that brought great relief to my chronic pain. I would absolutely go back to their clinic if need be.

Wonderful experience with Dr Ben following a car accident. He is extremely personable and professional and creates an open and trusting environment. He pays close attention to detail and is comprehensive in his evaluation and care. He was also willing to reach out to other professionals to support my concussion recovery. Best experience I’ve had with a physical therapist. Highly recommend! Also! Scheduling was a breeze with Linda - saved me time and headaches. Much appreciated! - Mariel

These guys are great! Been to many different places for PT due to a shoulder injury. PRO Therapy is by far the best. Very hands on, demonstrating the movements and exercises before releasing you on your own. I never felt rushed and Ben answered all my questions. They have all the newest equipment and tools for whatever your PT needs may be. Highly recommend!

Dr. Ben Schacht was an excellent PT. He helped me recover my ITB syndrome after the Twin Cities Marathon, as well as provided me exercises to work on preventing future injuries. Therapy included exercises, stretching, dry needling, cupping, and soft tissue massage. Would recommend anyone searching for a PT to reach out to Ben!

I've seen Dr. Kevin Spahr for two separate issues. Due to my first experience I opted to have my PT at Protherapy in Coon Rapids after a total replacement of my right knee. His care is top notch. He is dedicated to getting you the best results by tailoring the therapies he uses to your specific needs and is a very caring health professional. I felt very comfortable that my issues were addressed and met. There is nothing cookie cutter about the care received! Thank you Dr. Spahr!

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Ben Schacht. After I began to see progress in my injury, coming here was a highlight of my week. Even though I was coming from gymnastics/bodybuilding background, Ben introduced me to so many beneficial exercises and techniques to improve my injury and maintain it for the future. I learned a lot of tips that I am able to implement into my workouts. He created a very comfortable environment and am very grateful for his help. Highly recommend!

PRO Therapy has been by far my best physical therapy experience to date, and I will go back in the future if needed. Dr. Ben did a great job listening to my symptoms and goals for recovery. After a few weeks of treatment I was able to run my marathon as planned and without pain! That wouldn't have been possible without Dr. Ben and the PRO Therapy team.

I worked with Dr Ben Schacht after a partial knee replacement surgery. I would give Dr Ben extra points if I could and here is why: He is an excellent physical therapist. Ben Listens to my needs. He plans his therapies with a person centered goal. Ben explains every detail of his sessions and he is very knowledgeable of what he does. I tend to ask too many questions and Ben has been patient, humble, positive, caring and helped me set realistic goals. His supportive and compassionate nature helped me through the healing process. I also like his flexibility. I never once felt under pressure to do anything I did not want to do. This just shows the values and integrity of PRO Therapy. I will definitely continue to work with Pro-therapy for any nature of physical therapy in the future. Thanks for letting trust in physical therapy again.

I had the pleasure of working both with Kevin and Ben at different stages of my recovery. As an athlete, I understand that sport related injuries take time, dedication and good care. During the first stage of my treatment, Kevin helped me alleviate the pain, recover mobility and rebuild the scaring tissue with Gaston, dry needling, thermal contrasts and stretching exercises. For the second stage, I worked with Ben with the groundwork Kevin laid while strengthening the surrounding muscles. He understood that at that stage, I wasn’t ready to load the surrounding tissue with high intensity, so we worked with a new rehabilitation technique called Blood Flow Restriction (BFR). With it, we were able to rebuild the strength of the injured tissue with low weight, which proved to be a successful therapy as it shortened my recovery time. I fully recommend their practice and would suggest it to anyone in a similar situation.

Phenomenal results after rehabbing from a car injury. Dr. Ben was exactly what I was looking for. Each Doctor has integrity and they are extremely well-rounded. Ben did an extremely good job of being methodical in the creation and implementation of a successful program, to get me back on track. He paid great attention to detail and is a very personable individual. I highly recommend for anyone seeking an excellent P.T. provider.

If you’re looking for a PT, ProTherapy is the place to go! 4 weeks before the TC Marathon I began to have bilateral Achilles pain that brought me to my knees. I could barely walk let alone run. I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Kevin Spahr at the Coon Rapids location. Our goal was to get me to the starting line.. I saw him twice a week for 3 weeks before the race, and at our last session I was amazed at how great they felt. I am happy to say that not only did I make it to the starting line, I made it to the finish line too!! With NO pain whatsoever. Dr. Spahr is simply the best. He listened to my concerns, my goals and ultimately is a big part of how I finished. If you’re looking for a PT, I can’t recommend ProTherapy enough.

Both Dr. Spahr and Dr. Schacht were incredibly helpful with my return to sport program after ACL reconstructive surgery. I went to them during months 7-9 in my recovery process to help relieve swelling, diagnose other deficiencies (my ankle and hip were compensating for my knee), and get some more exercises to work on strengthening my leg and confidence. I really feel like they listened to me and tailored my recovery process to my specific goals (returning to playing ultimate frisbee). If I were to have further complications or another injury in the future, I would not hesitate to return.

Kevin is such a great provider!! I had severe back pain form an auto accident that was complicated by a pregnancy. Kevin helped me get back to the point where I could exercise again and regain my back strength. Kevin is a smart, nice guy who will work with you until you have a solution to your injuries. I also highly recommend the dry needling. It helped me immensely.

I give PRO Therapy a strong 5/5 and will be using them again should any more issues arise.

These guys are the best! I had some nagging shoulder and back pain that had persisted for a while and after seeing these guys consistently for a few months I am doing so much better. Dr. Spahr and Dr. Schacht both truly care about their patients and are willing to try new/different science-based techniques when applicable. They have always been willing to answer any questions I had regarding fitness, nutrition, and just general well being. I was actually a little saddened upon finishing treatment as I truly enjoyed my time here.

I would highly recommend Dr. Kevin and Dr. Ben. They are both incredibly knowledge and friendly. I originally got PT at Park Nicolette for ongoing knee issues I was having. Park Nicolette cut me loose after a month or so declaring me fit even though I was still experiencing issues with both knees.After much search, googling, and vetting, I landed on PRO Therapy and it was a great experience. They took the time to diagnose me and set me up with a holistic recovery plan that included treating the acute pain I was experiencing, strength training, stretching, and other exercises to give me the best outcomes. I'm a life long athlete and an incredibly grateful to be running and biking again. My main goal was to be able to be able to run 3 miles again by the time my daughter was born and they got me their and beyond. Best PT experience I've had some college athletics. Give em a try!

Dr. Kevin and Dr. Ben truly understand the difference between just treating an injury and understanding the full scope of the patient they are working to help heal. I have had the unlucky privilege of having multiple surgeries through my athletic career and have experienced a number of PT and rehab specialists. When my daughter experienced her first true injury in HS soccer, we were referred to Dr. Kevin and Ben from our Chiropractor. To say their support and service is great, is a tremendous understatement. The custom care they provide, the cutting edge treatment and depth of knowledge has allowed my daughter to recover at a much faster rate than I expected. We had a timeline for a hamstring injury to heal up and they were able to help that healing advance, getting my daughter back ahead of expectations. They are diligent, caring and very genuine, their support staff work with your schedule and communicate to help you find times that work. They have two locations. CR and Mpls, both of which absolutely get the job done. I highly recommend Dr. Kevin and Dr. Ben, two very high caliber individuals who treat you and get to truly know you.

I have been working with Kevin for a little under a year for an injury with my foot. The first day I was amazed on how hands on he was. In the office he tried many different treatments and they all helped me immensely. I'm so happy that I went to him for physical therapy. Some physical therapists just give you excersies and that's all you do. Kevin goes so much more in depth. If it wasn't for Kevin I don't think I would've gotten back to 100% as quickly as I did.

Dr Spahr made a huge difference in my neck and back pain, after struggling for 4 years after an MVA. He gave me a free 45 min phone consult as I gathered information about his program. I started with him with confidence that he could help me. What makes him different is his hands on therapy using many techniques such as graston, cupping, long needling, electro-stim, and kinesiology tape. He was always very kind, caring and professional! I would highly recommend him! KW

He not only welcomes feedback, but he routinely asks for it, so he can best address your needs and build on where you’re seeing progress. He also takes the business side of his therapy practice seriously, providing an impressively smooth customer service experience.

I highly recommend Dr. Kevin Spahr. I recently had knee replacement surgery and wanted PT close to home. I want the best treatments and providers for everything in my life and I do a lot of research. I had heard, even from surgeons, that independent physical therapists are often better than in-house clinics because of the personal attention you get. Dr. Spahr is personable, professional, and has just the right touch about how far to push when it comes to pain threshold that always comes with physical therapy. I am now seven weeks post op and have full range of motion. Next week I am having the other knee replaced and have already scheduled Dr. Spahr for physical therapy for that one.

After injuring my back at work, I had constant, debilitating pain in my low back and leg. I sought help from Dr. Kevin Spahr at PRO Therapy and it was one of the best decisions I have made. Dr. Spahr is not like other physical therapists, who see you for 15 minutes, show you some exercises, and send you on your way. Dr. Spahr is patient, takes his time with you, listens to your concerns, and is extremely knowledgable and passionate about his work and truly cares about your well being. Dr. Spahr has helped me decrease my pain and improve my quality of life. I am happy to recommend Dr. Spahr to anyone and everyone because he truly is the best.

Dr Spahr exceeded all my expectations of what physical therapy could be. He had expert knowledge of how to help my broken clavicle injury go from extremely limited to ready for the weight room. This was my first time with physical therapy and I was impressed that Dr. Spahr was always prepared for our sessions, clearly worked me through my exercises, continuously listened to my concerns, and employed varied methods of healing including cupping, Grayston techniques, and taping. While bone growth has lagged behind, my soft tissue and muscular recovery has excelled under his guidance. He really knew what to look for in my shoulder and was able to give me specific moves that successfully corrected my issues. Plus, he's just a good, down to earth guy. I go to the Benessere location and find his practice and the others at that site complement each other while feeling more human than other corporate settings.

Quite impressed, actually. I was experiencing some chronic lower back pain. Went to an Urgent Care facility where they prescribed physical therapy. I was referred to Kevin at PRO Terapy by my trusted chiropractor. I met with Kevin and his initial interview and analysis was extremely thorough. It is now three weeks and based on his analysis and treatment suggestions, I am stunningly pain free. Didn't think I would ever be this way without the surgery two different back doctors suggested. My deepest gratitude.

I have nothing but good things to say about my PT with Dr. Kevin Spahr. As a patient who suffers from Fibromyalgia and other muscle pain at times, this by far was the best PT I have ever had. The new techniques Dr. Spahr used were so helpful and the simple yet very important changes to how I perform everyday tasks were so helpful with daily living..I would refer anyone who is suffering and in need of some meaningful Physical Therapy to give Dr. Spahr at PRO Therapy a chance.

I had some therapy appointments already set up after leaving the hospital with the local clinic but decided to give Dr Spahr a call. At the appointment, we talked about my surgery, my history with previous knee surgeries and therapies, what my Orthopedist said and my expectations. I cancelled the other clinic appts and continued with Dr Spahr. He listened to my questions and concerns and explained each exercise and treatment as to what it was doing for me. I had some complications from the knee surgery and Dr Spahr made adjustments to my therapy specific to my needs. His 2 locations made it very easy to fit therapy appointments into my schedule and I was able to complete my all my recommended sessions I highly recommend Dr Spahr, my new knee is fully functional and there is no painAmanda K

Dr. Spahr is great! Worked with him with some back and leg issues I’ve had for years, and thought I would have for the rest of my life. He clearly works very hard to stay current and is constantly educating himself on new technologies and techniques, and it shows. I saw him for several months and my back and leg pain is completely gone. It’s also really nice that he works in the same office with a fantastic chiropractor and massage therapists, so it’s really a one-stop shop. Don’t waste your time with other physical therapists. I’ve seen a lot of them. He’s the best.

I had a fantastic experience at PRO Therapy! Dr. Spahr is very personable and professional. I'm grateful for his consideration of patient needs and goals. Plus, he really knows his stuff! We were able to utilize many new avenues of physical therapy to fully alleviate pain and get me back to 100% before my busy work season. I strongly recommend checking this place out.

Dr Spahr is the best! Not only did he provide excellent care to relieve my lower back pain, he also made sure I had the tools and knowledge to mitigate any future injury. He carefully explained what he was doing during each appointment, always checking in to make sure I understood the process. He is an utmost professional, very knowledgeable, and personable. I highly recommend him for any physical therapy needs.

I'm so thankful for Dr. Spahr's help in my recovering after my wrist surgery. I felt Dr. Spahr truly cared about my progress which made me work harder to keep up with exercises and stretches. I can honestly say that my strength and flexibility in my wrist would not be where it is at today without his support!

After experiencing some rather intense pain in both my hands and wrists for the better part of 3 years, and trying a wide range of stretches and exercises to no avail, I was worried the pain would stay with me indefinitely, and potentially get worse. Upon reviewing my case, asking questions, and evaluating my condition in person, Dr. Spahr came up with a regiment of office treatments and home exercises that began producing noticeable results almost immediately. I saw major improvements after only 2 or 3 visits (about a month), and felt a relief in pain and stiffness to a degree I hadn't felt in years. On top of that, Dr. Spahr was a pleasure to work with during office visits. Highly knowledgeable, attentive, considerate, and an all-around good dude. Can't recommend his practice enough!

As my first experience with physical therapy, Dr. Spahr truly listened and tailored the sessions to fit my needs. I felt very comfortable and that our weekly sessions were spent as best they could to maximize my results, and I was feeling better after only one month. I highly recommend PRO Therapy!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I came to Dr. Spahr for PT post-surgery on my right shoulder (bankart repair, remplissage). Having dislocated my shoulder 5 times over the course of 4 years, I am no stranger to physical therapy—and Dr. Spahr is undoubtedly the best therapist I’ve seen. My first PT session post-surgery was NOT with Dr. Spahr—I had one session at the same orthopedic center my surgery was performed (a well-known facility in the Twin Cities area), and the therapist there put me through a routine that I wasn’t supposed to experience for about 2-months post-surgery. I was not happy. After my first session with Dr. Spahr, I knew I had found the right therapist to support my recovery. Dr. Spahr earned my trust immediately by explaining his technique thoroughly, being extremely gentle and clearly demonstrating extensive clinical knowledge. Dr. Spahr is so obviously passionate about what he does, and he stays informed on current literature, performs complementary techniques (Graston, cupping, dry needling, taping), and seeks ways to continuously improve his practice. Furthermore, he’s just an all-around nice guy who shows compassion for his patients, while remaining extremely professional. Recovering from surgery is tough enough—it makes a huge difference to be in the care of a patient, friendly and highly competent therapist. I’ve been seeing Dr. Spahr for 8 months and plan on continuing PT with him to further improve my strength and range of motion.

I was experiencing chronic pain that had compromised my lifestyle. I made an appointment with Dr. Spahr and after an initial consultation and some simple exercises Dr. Spahr pinpointed the problem. Some simple therapy was performed which included Graston and taping along with a program to do some home stretching and the results have been very good. Dr. Spahr is very professional, extremely well educated and with the current services provided at The Clinic and Gym completes the vision that Dr. Harrison envisioned years ago. I strongly urge you to meet with Dr. Spahr for all your physical therapy needs.

I injured my knee on a ski trip and after about six weeks of limited progress, I knew I needed to see someone to help me get back to 100%. I had never been to a physical therapist and wasn't sure what to expect. Dr. Spahr did a great job explaining what the treatments would be like and approximately how long I would need to go. After about 6 weeks I was back up and running and even skiing again! My knee feels like nothing happened to it, definitely at 100%. I would recommend anyone I know to Dr. Spahr not only for his expertise but also because he is very personable. Thanks Dr. Spahr!

Doctor Spahr effectively identified the source of my lower back pain and designed a treatment plan that fit my needs, brought my pain level down after each visit, and actually worked to solve the problem. He provided me with at-home exercises and spent our therapy sessions working on cupping and graston techniques. I really appreciated this approach because I felt immediate relief after each visit, and had exercises that I could do on my own time to continue making noticeable progress. The care he provided adapted to fit my needs each week, and I could tell that he genuinely cared about my wellbeing. If I need physical therapy treatment in the future, I will definitely seek out Doctor Spahr.

Dr. Spahr exceeded my expectations. First and foremost he is a great guy who cares about his patients and wants to help improve their quality of life. He is super knowledgeable and uses techniques that go above and beyond the "standard treatment" that you will get at most other PT clinics. He talks you through each appointment about what he is doing, why he is doing it and what the goals of the treatment are.Best PT I have been to. Highly recommended.

Dr. Spahr quickly diagnosed my issues and set me on the path to recovery and I could not have been more satisfied. He is engaging and talks to you in layperson terms, while remaining professional and clearly demonstrating his knowledge of the subject. Would highly recommend PRO Therapy for any of your PT needs.

I worked with Dr. Spahr on some shoulder issues I'd been having, and I can't say enough good things about the guy. He was patient, well informed, and professional during my four appointments, and got my shoulder back to feeling great way faster than I had expected. As a future fellow health care provider I really respected the dedication he had to his field and his patients, and will be referring friends and family to him for their needs!

I would highly recommend Dr. Spahr to anyone who is looking for a top quality rehab experience. I had an excellent time working with him on my recovery after PCL surgery. In the 8 months that I had regular appointments with him, I reached milestones such as walking and jogging much earlier than expected and made very fast progress overall. Dr. Spahr was very supportive along the way and always took the time to answer all of my questions in depth. He was patient and deeply cared about the quality of my experience. I am very happy to be active again!

Our 11 year old daughter hurt her arm in a fall in gym class. The injury was not healing as it should and she was dealing with pain daily. After just a couple of sessions with Dr. Spahr, there was noticeable improvement, and soon the arm had healed completely. Dr. Spahr was terrific with our daughter, explained everything thoroughly, was never pushy about treatment, and the results were everything we had hoped for. I would recommend Dr. Spahr and PRO Therapy to anyone. He is fantastic!

I found PRO Therapy through a Google search. I was looking for a PT near work, and loved the location so I took a chance. I lucked out! I felt an immediate connection with Dr. Spahr when we met and discussed treatment options. He listened to make sure he understood my issues and then formulated a treatment and exercise program that quickly got me back on the path to flexibility and range of motion. I trusted him with some techniques I wasn’t familiar with and was impressed with the results. I’m very happy to know he is a resource I can go back to if needed.

Earlier this spring I fell down my stairs and sprained my ankle. It was not healing quickly so I sought out the help of Dr. Spahr to help me recover. Through a series of modalities he was able to move the healing process along and with each visit my ankle improved! I would highly recommend Dr. Spahr to help you recover from an injury!

After being in a car accident mid June I have since needed a LOT of help and work to get me back to "normal"! Dr. Spahr at PRO Therapy has been a true blessing in disguise. With his unending support and guidance through all of his treatments to rehabilitate me I can't say enough how glad I am that I chose him! He is always making sure I am as comfortable as possible, I know I can communicate anything with him and he does everything he can to accommodate any changes that need to be made with my therapy. From the smile on Whitney's face at the front desk when I enter to the soothing music and warm inviting atmosphere in Dr. Spahr's office I am more than comfortable and know Dr. Spahr is taking the best possible care of me. Thank you Dr. Spahr and PRO Therapy for making this horrible situation as bright as possible! WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!!

My experience at PRO Therapy was so positive. I worked with Dr. Schacht and he was extremely helpful as I rehabilitated my shoulder. In the past I have gone to physical therapy offices where there are many patients all at once and you are mostly working independently, however at PRO Therapy you are the only patient there and receive individualized attention and treatment your whole appointment. Dr. Schacht individualized my treatment, and varied it in a way that made sense for my progress. Also, the PRO Therapy receptionist Linda is incredibly kind and helpful and has helped me figure out some major insurance referral issues. The whole staff is patient and dedicate to their patients and I can't recommend them and their practices enough!
