About OSI Physical Therapy

Your Partners in Recovery.

At OSI Physical Therapy, we help people move better, feel stronger, and return to the life they love.

For over 45 years, we’ve been a therapist-owned, community-driven practice dedicated to helping our patients overcome pain, recover from injury, and reclaim confidence in their bodies. We combine the expertise of a large system with the heart of a small practice, creating a place where you feel seen, supported, and motivated.

Movement is more than mobility. It's freedom, confidence, and connection to the life you want to live.

Why Choose OSI Physical Therapy?

We treat people, not protocols

At OSI, you’re not handed a one-size-fits-all sheet of exercises. We get to know your unique pain, goals, and lifestyle in order to build a plan that’s just for you. Whether you're training for a marathon, chasing your grandkids, or simply trying to move without pain, your care is personalized every step of the way with focused therapy that adapts as you improve.

We make PT fun and effective

Healing can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be boring. Our therapists bring energy, encouragement, and creativity to every session, helping you stay motivated and actually enjoy the process. We mix up the routines, celebrate the wins (big and small), and cheer you on because we are part of your team. You’ll leave your sessions feeling stronger, not just physically, but mentally too.

We’re hands-on

We believe in the power of touch. Our therapists are trained in advanced manual therapy techniques that go beyond what machines and stretches alone can do. From joint mobilization to soft tissue release, we use our hands to ease pain, restore function, and accelerate your recovery. We also integrate cutting-edge tools like dry needling, cupping, and blood flow restriction to take your healing even further.

We’re local and therapist-owned

We’re not a corporate chain or a massive health system. We’re parents and neighbors—therapists who live in and love the communities we serve. OSI has been therapist-owned for over 45 years, and that independence means we can focus on what matters most: building relationships, delivering exceptional care, and making every patient feel like part of the family.

We help you avoid surgery or long-term meds

Surgery isn’t always the only answer. And living on painkillers isn’t a plan. At OSI, we help you explore non-invasive, drug-free pathways to healing. With targeted therapy, education, and movement strategies, many of our patients reduce or eliminate the need for surgery and medication altogether. It’s about treating the root cause, not just the symptoms.

We see the whole person

Your body doesn’t heal in a vacuum. Your stress, your goals, your lifestyle, your fears - all of it matters. Whether you’re 30 or 70, training for competition or trying to stay active in retirement, we take the time to understand you. We listen. We support. And we walk beside you—physically and emotionally—so you not only move better but feel stronger in every way.

Expert Care, Delivered by Specialists in Movement

At OSI, your care comes from a collaborative team of specialists, licensed physical therapists, and certified athletic trainers. Our team is experts in physical rehabilitation, exercise science, and injury prevention. Whether you're recovering from surgery or optimizing performance, our team is equipped to support your unique movement goals.

Easy, Direct Access to Care

You don’t need a referral to get started with us. As a direct access provider, we make it simple to receive expert physical therapy without unnecessary delays or red tape. Our goal is to turn your evaluation form around within 48 hours so you can become a patient as soon as possible. We also offer free phone consultations, so you can speak with a therapist, get your questions answered, and confidently take the next step.

Meet the Owners

OSI Physical Therapy has been a leading force in orthopedic rehabilitation, physical wellness and injury prevention since 1980. We originally opened our doors in a small Stillwater, Minnesota building alongside other medical professionals. OSI has now grown to 10 clinics in/around the Twin Cities metro area + western Wisconsin. All of our clinics offer a broad range of preventative and rehabilitative physical therapy services.

Lori and Noah Bularz are continuing OSI’s 45-year legacy with fresh energy, deep compassion, and a whole-person approach that meets each patient where they are, and helps them get to where they want to be.

Both licensed therapists, Lori and Noah live, work, and raise their family in the east metro. As owners, they’re deeply involved in both the care and culture of OSI, ensuring every clinic feels personal, not clinical.

Their leadership keeps OSI grounded in what’s always mattered most: exceptional care, genuine connection, and showing up for people.

“As a mom, a therapist, and someone who’s walked through hard seasons too, I understand that healing takes more than time. It takes connection. That’s what we offer at OSI – a place where people feel seen, safe, and never alone. Healing isn’t always linear and it’s never one-size-fits-all. At OSI, we meet people where they’re at, walk beside them, and help them feel whole again, both physically and emotionally.”

– Lori Bularz, Physical Therapist Assistant & Owner of OSI Physical Therapy

“It’s not just about the injury. It’s about the person. That’s what we focus on at OSI: building real trust, showing up consistently, and caring for the whole human. We treat people like people, not just patients”

– Noah Bularz, Physical Therapist & Owner of OSI Physical Therapy
