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

1. We treat the person, not just the pain.

2. Chiropractic Care is just one of the many tactics in our toolbox.

3. Rehabilitation and at-home strategies are part of every patient’s plan.

4. Your treatment is always tailored to you, your sport, your lifestyle, and your goals.

5. 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.
