Movement isn’t just medicine, it’s freedom, confidence, and a better life. At EA Therapeutic Health, we provide community-based physical rehabilitation and therapeutic wellness services for people of all ages and abilities, rooted in neuroscience and powered by compassion.
Whether you’re recovering from a stroke, managing a chronic condition, or staying strong as you age, we’re here to help!
In 2011, Dr. Melanie Brennan, PT, DPT, saw a gap that traditional healthcare couldn’t fill. While working as a PT at Mayo Clinic for more than a decade, she’d watched countless people recovering from life-changing diagnoses reach the end of what insurance would cover... but not the end of what they needed.
Too many were still struggling, still healing, and still in need of support. So she built something better: a place where recovery doesn’t stop when insurance does, and neuroscience meets compassion to help people keep moving forward.
ExercisAbilities began as a small outpatient PT clinic with a mission to bridge the gap between acute rehab and lifelong wellness.
In 2015, EA became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, unlocking new ways to serve people who would otherwise go without care. And in 2022, the name evolved to EA Therapeutic Health, reflecting a more holistic, integrated model that brings physical therapy, therapeutic fitness, health coaching, and community-based wellness together under one roof.
Today, EA is Southeast Minnesota’s only neuro-focused outpatient PT and therapeutic training provider. Whether you’re learning to walk after a stroke, managing MS, recovering from surgery, or simply trying to stay strong, we’re here to walk alongside you.
We provide accessible, person-centered care that helps people take control of their health, their freedom, and their future. We’re proud to serve the Rochester, MN community, and even prouder of the lives we help transform every day.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, grow stronger, and reclaim their independence, regardless of insurance coverage or bank account balance.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we make expert care available to everyone. For many clients, these services aren’t just helpful, they’re life-changing.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we can:
Extend care beyond insurance coverage limits
Serve clients in schools, shelters, and underserved communities
Offer free and reduced-cost services based on income
When someone receives care at EA, it’s not just their body that changes; it’s their entire life. They regain confidence, reconnect with loved ones, and return to a fuller life.
When you support EA Therapeutic Health, you’re not just funding physical therapy, you’re fueling transformation!
