Rehabilitation following injury or surgery helps return people to an active lifestyle and competition as quickly and as safely as possible. Our experienced team includes physical therapists, certified athletic trainers and chiropractors - each of whom is committed to the care of active people with muscle and joint concerns.

Our rehabilitation team works closely with MSM's network of sports medicine and orthopaedic doctors to create a treatment plan that helps you to heal properly and prevents re-injury.

Rehabilitation services at MSM are provided by the Institute for Athletic Medicine (IAM), a premier provider of orthopedic and sports medicine rehabilitation. Specialists see patients at 29 clinics conveniently located through the Twin Cities metro area. IAM is part of Minneapolis-based Fairview Health Services and North Memorial Medical Center.
