Physical Therapy

Brenda Buus, PT

Brenda Buus, PT I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Athletic Training from the University of South Dakota. I enjoyed the classes that I took in regard to Athletic Training and decided I would like to help people of all ages and abilities through physical therapy. I returned to the University of South Dakota to earn a Master of Science in Physical Therapy. I appreciated the opportunity to take a couple of anatomy classes with future doctors, physician assistants and occupational therapists.

I began practicing physical therapy in 1997 in Hendricks, MN where I had the opportunity to work with patients in a variety of settings. I enjoyed helping people gain strength to allow them to return home after a hospital stay. Helping people in the nursing home maintain their ability to move and care for themselves and helping patients in their homes were also rewarding. I had the opportunity to work with people of all ages on an outpatient basis as well. Here at the Brookings Chiropractic Center I am able to focus on the outpatient area of physical therapy. I can help people find ways to alleviate their pain, stretch muscles that are tight and strengthen muscles that are weak to help them work toward the level of activity they enjoyed prior to their injury.

Physical therapists are able to conservatively manage a variety of conditions with an individualized approach. Orthopedic conditions, joint and soft tissue injuries, neurologic conditions, cardiopulmonary conditions, workplace injuries and sports injuries are examples of things a physical therapist can help you recover from. After an evaluation of your particular problem you will work with the physical therapist to develop a plan to improve your ability to move, reduce pain, restore function and prevent disability.

If you and your doctor agree you would benefit from physical therapy I hope you will consider our facility for your treatment.
