The therapists and other staff are the friendliest and most competent of all the physical therapists that I’ve seen over the years. I truly enjoy my appointments!
Marie has helped me heal from injuries I was told would never heal. My pain has gone down vastly too.
She helped guide me to appropriate exercises that could realistically fit into my life.
Amy Molzen really did a great job in therapy and in showing me that I am part of my recovery. I saw her five times and I am never going to anyone else! My legs are nearly painless and a month ago I could only stand for two minutes! Well done Amy!

Marie Holecek has been my Myofascial Release Physical Therapist for twenty years. Her expertise in her specialty has been an incredible relief to the pain of my cervical arthritis and other issues. I highly recommend her because of her knowledge and intuitive questions.
Carlyn and Jason were so wonderful. They were very professional and really helped me with my therapy. They were very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do and when with me. I highly recommend Saunders in Edina since this is where they work.
Top notch! My therapist, not only gave me exercises to do at home, but used office time to work on the issue directly with MFR. It worked wonders and I am 100% in just a few weeks. Honest, friendly and flexible.

Saunders is a fantastic place to work and has an amazing Industrial Rehab gym! Happy to be part of the Saunders team.

From the receptionist, Martha to Marie, my physical therapist, Saunders goes above and beyond in personal care and professionalism. I don’t know what I would’ve done without Marie who helped me with my hip problem. She’s knowledgeable, thorough, helpful and just downright fun to be with. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
After having had a function test at a different center I was referred to Saunders therapy in Edina, Minnesota. The difference in the testing methods was incredible. The therapist, Carlyn Gilmore, concentrated on the area of interest, and …
I have worked with Marie for years and she is great at problem solving! She is the one who solved my back pain and now I go to her for all my physical pain as I age. I tried TCO when Saunders was closed and those PTs just don’t compare to the treatment I receive at Saunders.
