Ben Holter, PT, DPT
Get to Know Me
I became a physical therapist because I value the opportunity to serve others, build meaningful relationships, and improve people’s everyday lives. Patients can expect skilled care, clear education, and steady encouragement throughout the recovery process. I work hard to help each person understand their condition and feel supported as they progress toward their goals.
I enjoy treating a wide variety of patients, with particular interests in racquet sport and overhead athletes, spinal pain, and chronic low back pain. My treatment approach may incorporate muscle energy techniques, osteopathic manual therapy, myofascial release, dry needling, the Graston Technique, Pilates-based rehabilitation, pain science education, and strength training. I also treat BPPV and other vestibular conditions and provide concussion rehabilitation.
Born and raised in northern Minnesota, I enjoy fishing, hunting, tennis, pickleball, and spending time outdoors. I am also a homebody who values time with my wife and son.
