🌟 Clinic Spotlight: BST Barrett & BST Evansville 🌟

Two small-town clinics. One big commitment to community care. 💙

At Big Stone Therapies, our Barrett and Evansville teams work side by side to support the health, strength, and well-being of the families who call these communities home. Whether it’s helping someone return to work, recover after an injury, or simply move through daily life with more comfort and confidence, these teams bring heart, skill, and a whole lot of hometown pride to every session.

From personalized rehabilitation to supportive partnerships within local schools, senior living communities, and area organizations, Barrett and Evansville embody what it means to serve with purpose. They show up for their patients — and for each other — every single day.

Here’s to the incredible therapists making a difference across both clinics. Your dedication helps keep our communities strong, active, and thriving. ❤️🙌

😄 Fun is Our Specialty at BST Milbank! 😄

Around here, we don’t just help our patients feel better—we make sure everyone has a little fun along the way!

Recently, our team jumped into raising money for the Grant County Combined Appeal, an amazing organization supporting nonprofits across Grant County. And with the help of our awesome patients and staff, we raised over $2,000! 💙

But… we couldn’t just fundraise.
We had to make it interesting. 😉

Enter the Branden vs. Spencer “Pie in the Face” Showdown 🥧😂

Patients and staff cast their votes (aka donations) for who they wanted to see get pied. The suspense built… the competition heated up… and in the end, Spencer earned the honor of taking a pie right to the face! 🤣👏

Whether we’re raising money, supporting our community, or cheering each other on, one thing is true — we love bringing joy and laughter into our workday.

🌟 Community Spotlight: BST Milbank in Action! 🌟

At BST Milbank, giving back isn’t just something we do—it’s part of who we are. Our team is proud to support our community in meaningful ways, big and small.

You’ll find our staff serving through a variety of local efforts, including:
✨ Collecting food donations for the Orphan Grain Train
✨ Supporting the Grant County Combined Appeal
✨ Helping with the school backpack program
✨ Volunteering at events that raise awareness for cancer
✨ Pitching in around town—from local parks to community cleanup efforts

No matter the task, our team is dedicated to making a positive impact throughout Milbank and the surrounding area. 💙

We’re also incredibly proud of the therapists who have taken their compassion beyond our borders. Three of our Milbank team members have traveled to Guatemala on Big Stone Therapies’ mission trips, providing essential therapy services and resources to individuals in need. Even more inspiring, some have brought their family members along to share in the experience. Many describe these trips as truly life-changing—both for those served and those who serve.

We’re grateful for a team that lives out our mission every day, in our community and around the world. 🌎💙

💙 Patient Testimonial Spotlight – Milbank, SD 💙

This patient’s story is such a powerful reminder of how meaningful consistent, compassionate therapy can be over the years. With a family history of osteoarthritis and pain beginning after the birth of her first child, she turned to Big Stone Therapies in Sisseton — and found relief through the right exercises, improved walking and stretching techniques, and simple movements she could use throughout her busy day.

As someone who works closely with our therapy team in the clinic and hospital setting, becoming a patient herself brought a new level of trust and appreciation. She shared how our therapists have always been confidential, flexible, hardworking, and willing to go above and beyond — even calling her during rounds to remind her of appointments!

Over time, therapy continued in Milbank to help with recurring back pain, and eventually supported her through a much bigger challenge: significant knee osteoarthritis. After her left knee replacement 1.5 years ago — and now her right knee replacement just three weeks ago — she’s already recovering exceptionally well, gaining strength, improving her gait, and walking with confidence again.

She credits her progress to the physical and occupational therapy teams in Milbank and Sisseton who pushed her, encouraged her, and personalized her care every step of the way.

“Big Stone Therapies makes me feel energized and enthusiastic to recover.”

We are incredibly grateful for her trust, her kind words, and the opportunity to support her through each chapter of her journey.
