Hand therapy is a specialized area of rehabilitation focused on treating conditions affecting the hand, wrist, elbow, and upper extremity. Hand therapists are specially trained to help people recover from injuries, surgeries, and conditions such as tendon injuries, fractures, arthritis, nerve conditions, and overuse injuries.

Treatment may include customized exercises, manual therapy, splinting, swelling and pain management, and education to restore strength, motion, and function. The goal of hand therapy is to help patients return to work, daily activities, and hobbies safely and efficiently while preventing further injury.

If you are suffering from hand/wrist pain and/or numbness and tingling, give us a call today at 701-478-7868!

Dry needling is a treatment performed by specially trained physical therapists to help reduce muscle pain, tension, and movement limitations. A thin, sterile needle is inserted into tight or sensitive areas of muscle—often called trigger points—to help decrease muscle tightness, improve blood flow, and reduce pain.

Dry needling can help improve mobility, decrease pain, and support faster recovery when combined with exercise and manual therapy. It is commonly used for muscle strains, neck and back pain, headaches, and other musculoskeletal conditions to help patients move and feel better.

If you are wondering if dry needling can help you, give us a call at 701-478-7868 today!

As heart disease remains the leading cause of death and disability globally, Big Stone Therapy Fargo is highlighting the essential role of physical therapy in proactive heart health management. While traditionally associated with injury recovery, physical therapists are increasingly recognized as partners in helping the general population safely meet cardiovascular health goals.
Data from the American Heart Association indicates that heart disease remains the top cause of mortality in the U.S. Despite these statistics, most cardiovascular disease is considered preventable through consistent lifestyle changes, with regular exercise serving as a primary defense.
Physical therapists are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between a sedentary lifestyle and long-term cardiovascular fitness. PTs treat the whole person by addressing the physical barriers, like chronic pain, old injuries, or lack of mobility that often make exercise feel intimidating or unattainable. By removing these obstacles, physical therapy helps patients safely strengthen their most vital muscle: the heart.
BST Fargo utilizes a movement-based approach to support heart health through:
● The Right Entry Point: Exercise plans are designed to match a patient’s current fitness level to avoid the "too much, too soon" cycle that leads to injury.
● Safety Post-Medical Events: Providing supervised movement for individuals recovering from heart attacks, stroke, or cancer, ensuring they can increase their heart rate without compromising their recovery.
● Pain Management: Identifying the root causes of discomfort that prevent regular walking, cycling, or swimming.
● Supporting Chronic Conditions: Helping patients manage risk factors like high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes through low-impact, sustainable activity.

Aquatic therapy is a form of physical therapy performed in a warm-water pool that uses the natural properties of water to support movement and reduce stress on joints. The buoyancy of water helps decrease pain and body weight load, making movement easier and safer for people recovering from injury, surgery, or managing chronic conditions.

Aquatic therapy can help improve strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance while allowing patients to move with less discomfort. It is especially helpful for individuals with arthritis, joint pain, neurological conditions, or those who have difficulty tolerating traditional land-based exercise.

Curious if aquatic therapy is for you? Give us a call today at 701-478-7868!

Vestibular therapy (also called vestibular rehabilitation therapy, or VRT) is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to treat dizziness, vertigo, balance problems, and motion sensitivity caused by inner ear or neurological conditions.

It uses specific, evidence-based exercises to help the brain and body compensate for problems in the vestibular (balance) system. Treatment may include:

Balance training to reduce fall risk and improve stability

Gaze stabilization exercises to improve vision during head movement

Habituation exercises to reduce dizziness triggered by movement or position changes

Canalith repositioning maneuvers (such as for BPPV) to treat positional vertigo

Vestibular therapy helps patients return to normal daily activities by improving balance, reducing dizziness, and restoring confidence with movement.

LSVT BIG® therapy is a specialized, research-based physical therapy program designed for individuals with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions that affect movement.

The program focuses on training people to make bigger, more powerful movements to improve walking, balance, posture, and overall mobility. Many individuals with Parkinson’s experience movements becoming smaller and slower over time, and LSVT BIG helps recalibrate how movement feels so everyday activities become easier and safer.

Treatment involves high-effort, repetitive exercises and functional tasks tailored to each person’s goals, helping improve confidence, independence, and quality of life.

Call us today to schedule an appointment, 701-478-7868!

Our 2026 Movement Audit tests the metrics that actually correlate with a longer, stronger life. The latest research continues to confirm that movement isn't just about fitness, it’s a vital sign for your entire internal system. Here are three key benchmarks we look at:
1. The Sitting-Rising Test (SRT)
Can you sit down on the floor and get back up without using your hands or knees for support? This simple test is a viral sensation for a reason: studies show it is a remarkably accurate predictor of all-cause mortality. It requires flexibility, core stability, and leg strength that come together as a quick measure of your functional mobility.
2. Gait Speed: Your "Sixth Vital Sign"
How fast you walk (gait velocity) is a window into your central nervous system. If you can maintain a walking speed of over 1.0 meter per second, you are significantly more likely to maintain independence as you age and stay out of the hospital. We'll get a precise measurement to make sure you aren't slowing down without realizing it.
3. Grip Strength
Newer evidence has shown that grip strength is a great proxy for overall muscle mass and biological age. A decline in grip can be an early warning sign of strength or muscle loss.

We are now accepting appointments for 2026 PT Check-ups. Anyone interested is encouraged to call us at 701-478-7868 and schedule their check-up to make sure their physical foundation is prepared for the year ahead.

The paradigm shift in health and wellness is now focused on optimizing the quality of life, rather than mere longevity. As a result, the annual Physical Therapy Check-up is gaining popularity as a vital component of yearly wellness regimens, akin to dental cleanings and primary care physicals. Unlike standard medical evaluations that prioritize bloodwork and internal health, the PT Check-up concentrates on the physical mechanics essential for an active lifestyle. Research reveals that subtle declines in balance, mobility, or grip strength often go undetected until they manifest as chronic pain or acute injury. By identifying these issues early, physical therapists can intervene before they progress into significant mobility impairments.
