Clinic

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Program at Lake Superior College operates a non-profit, outpatient physical therapy (PT) clinic on campus. Physical therapist students from The College of St. Scholastica and PTA students from Lake Superior College provide low-cost PT services under the supervision of faculty members.

The clinic serves two primary missions:
1. to provide realistic hands-on learning experiences for students studying physical therapy, and
2. to provide physical therapy services to those in the Duluth-Superior area who could not otherwise receive PT due to insurance limitations.

Current patients have sustained injuries such as ankle sprains or back injuries, had surgery such as knee replacement, or have conditions such as cerebral palsy, CVA, SCI, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or traumatic brain injury. Almost any condition that creates difficulty with physical activities can be treated with physical therapy.
