Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy can be defined as a health profession involved in the evaluation, prevention and treatment of physical dysfunction that may arise from disease, injury, or illness. Physical therapists at Trinity Health work in the acute care hospital, rehabilitation hospital, and outpatient physical therapy and sports medicine departments. Trinity physical therapists also perform home health visits for homebound patients and travel to outreach sites outside of the Minot community. Our physical therapists use a variety of physical means to help patients maximize their function including heat, ice, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercise.
