Sports Chiropractic & Rehab in Excelsior, MN
Minnesota Movement is an athlete-focused Sports Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Clinic serving Excelsior, Chanhassen, Chaska, Wayzata, Minnetonka, and the surrounding Lake Minnetonka Area of the Twin City’s West Suburbs.
At Minnesota Movement, our approach combines chiropractic care, soft-tissue treatment, corrective exercise, sport-specific rehabilitation, and education to address both the symptoms and contributing factors behind an injury based on a thorough assessment of your individual movement patterns.
If we're doing a good job at our job - we should be seeing less and less of our patients.
Seriously. We firmly believe in getting you better FAST so that you’re able to go enjoy the life and activities you deserve without worrying or struggling with pain and symptoms. Our job is to help get you there.
Who We Work With:
Ultimately, whether we’re working with a Weekend Warrior or a professional athlete - our job is the same. Assess and address the issue in a tailored fashion with high-level treatment and rehab processes to get them back in the game and performing their best.
Youth Athletes:
The demands on youth athletes and their specific sport(s) really start to pick up around age 10-13. This sometimes takes it’s toll on the body physically in the form of over-use symptoms, outright pain, or performance leaks.
Apart from the warranted treatment we provide here at Minnesota Movement, as these athlete’s bodies develop, we help them as well as their parents understand adequate training loads and how to mitigate potential risk of injury while operating at a high capacity of performance.
High School & Collegiate Athletes:
At the high school and collegiate levels, playing starts to become performing. Training volume increases, competition gets faster, and the margin for error gets smaller. Between practices, strength training, travel, competition, and often year-round sport specialization, the body can take a serious beating.
Our job isn't simply to make an athlete feel better enough to get back on the field. We identify what is contributing to the problem, address the immediate injury or limitation, and then build a progression that helps the athlete earn their way back to full performance.
That may mean hands-on treatment, mobility and movement work, targeted rehabilitation, strength development, or sport-specific progression. We work alongside the athlete and their team to gradually increase capacity, monitor training demands, and rebuild confidence in the injured area. Our goal is not just that they aren't simply returning to their sport - but that they're prepared to perform at or ABOVE the level they were before.
Professional & Elite Athletes:
Our team here at Minnesota Movement has been fortunate enough to work with some of the most elite ‘movers’ in the sports world. We have worked with Professionals in the MLB, NFL, and NHL. Apart from those sports, we have also worked with elite Ultra-Marathon Runners, National Team Gymnasts, CrossFit Games Athletes, Elite Swimmers, PGA and LPGA players, World Sports Games Athletes, Professional Bouldering and Rock Climbers, and Professional Skiiers and Snowboarders.
Why Minnesota Movement is Different
We treat the person, not just the pain.
Chiropractic Care is just one of the many tactics in our toolbox.
Rehabilitation and at-home strategies are part of every patient’s plan.
Your treatment is always tailored to you, your sport, your lifestyle, and your goals.
Our job is to see our patients less and less. After all, if we’re here to help you feel better you shouldn’t have to rely on us.
The traditional approach to treatment tactics are broken.
We believe that relying on a provider to put the pieces back together isn't the answer for Athletic Individuals. Our philosophy is simple, but not easy. We expect you to work for it. After all, nothing changes if nothing changes.
The traditional model of simply going to a chiropractor for a ‘quick fix adjustment’ isn’t the answer. Usually that results in temporary relief which means that you, the patient, needs to keep coming back for more.
Our approach hinges assessing WHY the issue started in the first place and then educating the patient so that they can fully understand the treatment and rehab plan to get them not just back on the field/court/arena but at a higher standard of performance than before.

Frequently Asked Questions:
-
Sports chiropractic goes beyond simply treating symptoms or performing adjustments. We combine chiropractic care with soft tissue treatment, movement assessment, rehabilitation, corrective exercise, and education to address the bigger picture. The goal isn't just to make you feel better—it’s to help you move better, perform better, and ultimately need us less.
-
No. You do not need a referral to schedule an appointment with Minnesota Movement. You can contact us directly to get started, although we will always coordinate with other healthcare providers when it makes sense for your care.
-
Minnesota Movement is an entirely cash-pay practice and is not in-network with insurance companies. This allows us to spend more time with each patient and build a treatment plan based on what you actually need rather than what an insurance company dictates. We can provide documentation for patients who want to explore reimbursement through an out-of-network benefit.
-
Your first visit is approximately 60 minutes. We'll take the time to understand your history and goals, perform a thorough movement and physical assessment, provide appropriate treatment, and begin building a personalized plan to get you back to what you want to do.
-
There isn't a magic number—and we don't believe you should be coming in forever. Your treatment plan depends on your injury, goals, training demands, and how your body responds to care. Our goal is to help you make meaningful progress and give you the tools to become more independent, not create unnecessary dependence on treatment.
-
Come prepared to tell us what you've been experiencing, what you've tried, and—most importantly—what you want to get back to doing. Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily, and bring any relevant imaging, medical records, or information from other providers if you have it. Most importantly, come ready to participate—we're going to put you to work.
-
Absolutely not. We work with athletes and active individuals across all levels—from youth and high school athletes to collegiate competitors, professionals, and weekend warriors. Our approach is built around the individual, not the level of competition.
-
Yes. We work with young athletes as their bodies develop and the physical demands of their sport increase. We help address injuries and movement limitations while also educating athletes and parents on training loads, recovery, and strategies to reduce injury risk.
-
Yes. Rehabilitation and corrective exercise are a major part of what we do. Rather than relying solely on hands-on treatment, we give you specific exercises and tools to help build strength, mobility, stability, and capacity so you can take an active role in your recovery.
-
Absolutely. You don't have to be injured to benefit from sports chiropractic care. We work with healthy athletes and active individuals who want to improve mobility, address movement limitations, manage training demands, or optimize how their bodies perform.
-
Yes. We work with runners of all levels, from recreational runners to competitive athletes. We commonly help with running-related issues involving the foot, ankle, Achilles, knee, hip, and low back while also addressing strength, mobility, training load, and movement mechanics that may be contributing to the problem.
-
Absolutely. Golf places unique demands on the body, particularly through the hips, spine, shoulders, and rotational system. We work with golfers to address pain and mobility restrictions while also improving the physical qualities needed to move efficiently and consistently throughout the golf swing.
