PRO Therapy

What PRO Therapy does

PRO Therapy is a privately held outpatient physical therapy clinic headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, founded in 2016 by Kevin and Liz Spahr. The practice operates two clinic locations — Northeast Minneapolis (2125 East Hennepin Avenue) and Coon Rapids (8770 Springbrook Drive NW) — serving the Twin Cities metro. Its core proposition is that all patient care is delivered exclusively by Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPTs), with no PT assistants or aides involved in treatment, supporting one-on-one, outcome-based sessions rather than symptom-only care.

The clinic's service portfolio spans orthopedic physical therapy for back, knee, neck, shoulder, hip, ankle/foot, hand/wrist, and elbow pain; sports injury recovery; post-surgical rehabilitation; motor vehicle accident rehabilitation; women's health and pelvic floor therapy; custom Foot Levelers orthotics; and corporate on-site physical therapy. Treatment techniques include StemWave shockwave therapy, Graston technique, dry needling, clinical cupping, kinesiotaping, blood flow restriction therapy, mechanical traction, electrical stimulation, gait analysis, joint mobilization, myofascial release, neuromuscular re-education, and trigger point therapy, supplemented by nutrition, personal training, and wellness coaching. The clinical team includes six named DPTs with specializations in pelvic health, strength and conditioning (CSCS/FMS), and post-surgical rehab.

PRO Therapy generates revenue through insurance-based billing (in-network with most major insurance plans), self-pay/out-of-pocket options (including shockwave therapy typically not covered by insurance), motor vehicle accident claims, workers' compensation, and corporate on-site contracts. Minnesota's direct-access status enables patient self-referral without physician prescription. Patient acquisition is driven by a content-rich website, Health Tips blog, gated free reports, Google reviews (5.0 rating across 365 reviews), YouTube/Instagram/Facebook channels, and complimentary Discovery Visits and phone consultations. Ownership remains concentrated with founders Kevin Spahr (DPT) and Liz Spahr (COO) with no disclosed external investors.

Revenue model

1. Insurance-Based Physical Therapy Services: PRO Therapy is in-network with most major insurance companies and bills as a courtesy. Patients are responsible for co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles at time of treatment.

3. Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Rehabilitation: Physical therapy services for motor vehicle accident injuries, working with patients' healthcare providers, legal teams, and insurance adjusters.
4. Workers' Compensation: Treatment for work-related injuries covered under workers' compensation programs.
5. Corporate On-Site Physical Therapy: On-site physical therapy services for corporations and employees, including health promotion, cost reduction, risk evaluation, and wellness integration.
