OSI has provided therapy services in Stillwater since 1980. Paul Niemeth, PT, DSC, OCS, SCS, ATC/R, started the practice and was joined shortly there after by Mike Ripley, PT, ATC. Paul left the practice in 1996 to become an instructor at the College of St. Catherine's Physical Therapy School.
Our Stillwater office started and has grown with a strong emphasis on sports rehabilitation, and we have created strong community ties by providing rehabilitation and various athletic training services to
Stillwater High School, other area schools, and community organizations. Our therapists have worked very closely with Stillwater Medical Group and St. Croix Orthopaedics physicians in various sports medicine activities.
Our sports medicine program has been a spring board for the development of other highly effective specialty services including hand therapy, occupational health services via The Work Center, women's health, biofeedback, wound care, TMD, throwing and running evaluations, postural restoration treatment, and ASTYM www.astym.com .
We have 9 highly skilled physical and occupational therapists and 2 physical therapist assistants on our Stillwater staff. Mike Ripley, PT, ATC, one of the owners of OSI, Ginny Peulen, PT, CHT, Pam Gaides, OT, CHT, and Kathleen Picard, PT, have worked in our Stillwater office for over 20 years. Ginny was one of the first certified hand therapists (CHT) in Minnesota and is our Hand Therapy Coordinator. The rest of our staff includes Scott Forrest, PT, Jody Ruppert, OT (Clinic Manager), Renae Siewert, OT, CHT, Katie Larson, PT, CSCS, Sara Lumby, PT, OT, Dan Larsen, PTA, and Linda Olson, PTA. Our therapists all deliver excellent orthopedic rehabilitation.
