Our Story

After growing up in the tight-knit community of Kasson-Mantorville, I never imagined of moving back and settling in the place that shaped me. With a passion for healing and helping others, I decided to open my own physical therapy practice. By offering personalized care and focusing on the unique needs of local residents, RISE PT and Health hopes to provide an accessible, compassionate service to our neighbors. RISE PT and Health has a goal to improve the well-being of the community, one step at a time, while creating a supportive environment for healing and recovery.
