About Me

I’m Peter Freeborn, your seasoned expert physical therapist with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from The College of Saint Scholastica and over a decade of experience at a Level-1 Trauma Center. Having treated more than 10,000 patients, I’ve seen it all – from massive burns and spinal cord injuries in the ICU, to knee replacements and chronic low back pain in an outpatient setting. For years I have been the trusted go-to clinician when there was a high degree of pressure and excellent care was the only option. I have had strong connections and successful treatment with people of every background, from prolific executives to people with histories of violence and unstable mental health. Not only do I treat patients, but I’ve also educated Doctor of Physical Therapy graduate students at the University of Minnesota, and during their clinical rotations.

I’m more than an expert clinician and instructor. As a husband, a proud father of two children under 5, and an entrepreneur, I’ve learned a little about what truly motivates people. It may be a passion to create a legacy or innovate a strategic vision. Other times, your motivation may stem from something I’m familiar with - the satisfaction and accomplishment felt when your hands get dirty for a little DIY, like crawling under a car to “fix” the transmission. Perhaps your primary motivation is similar to mine - to move better with less pain so you can hoist your little superhero above your head as they fly through the living room.

My motivation to help others has been impeded by forces beyond my control. I’ve seen what insurance and regulatory dictates have done to degrade the quality of healthcare. I will be the first to defend the excellence of the practitioners; their hands are tied. However, the downward spiraling trajectory of healthcare is evident to anyone who has had to interface with it. That’s why I have decided to reclaim control and innovate a new way to deliver the best care imaginable.

I view my role in providing you the pinnacle of care as one that educates and empowers you to live the active and fulfilling lifestyle that you’re capable of. To accomplish this, a large time investment and dedication with focus on you, the individual, is required. When you have an issue with pain or moving your body, I find that it’s almost never caused by just one thing. I see how interconnected pain and movement are to other dimensions in life such as sleep, food, stress, leisure, relationships, and the list goes on. With this holistic-view, up-to date evidence-based practice, and more than a decade of success, I treat you like more than a mechanical body that only needs to be taken through a protocol. I provide care to you - the individual - not the data point.
