Pain neuroscience education (PNE) is an approach used in physical therapy to help people better understand how pain works in the body and nervous system. It explains how pain is influenced not only by tissue injury, but also by the brain, stress, past experiences, sleep, and overall health.

By learning how pain is processed and why it can persist even after tissues heal, patients often experience less fear of movement and greater confidence in returning to activity. Pain neuroscience education is combined with movement and exercise to help reduce pain sensitivity, improve function, and support long-term recovery.

If you have been struggling with chronic pain and feel like you've gotten more questions than answers over the years, 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.
