Tried physical therapy before and it didn't work? You're exactly who Chad loves to see. A second look, one-on-one time and a different plan can change the result.

Proven methods, newest evidence

“When you get the body moving the way it's designed, it's amazing how the pain can disappear.” Dr. Chad Hergott, PT, DPT

Chad keeps up with leading treatments without abandoning the ones that have stood the test of time. Every plan includes teaching you what's happening, so you can make your own best decisions.

Manual therapy

Hands-on joint and soft tissue work to restore motion and ease pain.

Dry needling

Targets tight, irritable muscle to calm pain and help it move again.

Exercise prescription

A focused home program built for your body and your goals.

Pain science education

Understanding pain changes how your body responds to it.

Modalities, used wisely

Only when they help your plan, never as filler time.

Clear next steps

If surgery or a specialist is the right call, you'll know why.

No referral? You may not need one. Minnesota allows direct access to physical therapy. Some insurance plans still ask for a referral, and we'll tell you if yours does.

Meet Dr. Chad Hergott

Chad earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2007 and spent the next 16 years caring for patients in Ham Lake, Blaine, East Bethel and the greater Twin Cities. Rochester was his second home growing up, and after marrying the love of his life, he came back.

He founded Relief Physical Therapy to give people the most personal, transparent care possible. As an independent clinic, every minute of your visit goes to you, not to a corporate schedule.

Outside the clinic, Chad advocates for the physical therapy profession at the state and federal level. And when he can, he's climbing. That's where the mountains in the Relief logo come from.
