Dr. Brett Black - Doctor of Physical Therapy

Team Member Bio:
Dr. Brett Black desires to come alongside his patients, working with each individual patient to come up with a game-plan for their specific lifestyle and condition. Dr. Black tailors each treatment plan utilizing hands-on techniques mixed with specific exercises to help each person regain their function. His goal is to get to know the individual and provide whole person care to help them achieve their personal goals.
Dr. Black is originally from the small town of Durand, WI (just south of Eau Claire, WI). While growing up, Dr. Black loved playing sports and serving at his local church/community. These passions fueled his love for learning how the human body works and helping others which eventually led him to pursue a Bachelors in Exercise Sports Science at UW-La Crosse. After his time in La Crosse, Dr. Black traveled to Sioux City, IA where he earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Briar Cliff University. After graduating, Dr. Black moved up to the Twin Cities to be closer to both his wife’s (Hannah) family and his own family.
Away from the clinic, Dr. Black loves spending time outdoors! Whether it’s hiking, kayaking, fishing, hunting, or disc golfing; you can always find him with his wife and dog enjoying nature. Fun fact, Dr. Black is an avid Wisconsin sports fan and loves Marvel/DC movies!
Favorites:
- Favorite TV show – I can’t chose just one, but I love a good laugh — The Office, Parks and Rec, and New Girl.
- Favorite vacation – California exploring the coast, Yosemite National Park, and the Redwoods.
- What do you love most about Minnesota – I love all the hiking trails and all the lakes for kayaking and fishing! Minnesota also has lots of great options for restaurants, breweries and wineries. I love exploring new places!
- The one thing that I want people to know about PRO Therapy – PRO therapy wants to meet the person not just the patient. We strive to get to know you because when you’re with us, you’re part of the team. This allows you to be heard, which unfortunately isn’t always the case in healthcare. Working with a smaller clinic like us, also gives you providers who spend more time with you. Therefore, we provide the best care for you to achieve YOUR goals. We look forward to getting to know you!
