In-Home Physical Therapy for Seniors in Hennepin County, MN
Tandem Strength & Balance is headquartered in Edina, in the heart of Hennepin County, and brings in-home strength and balance training directly to seniors across the county, from Minneapolis to the western suburbs.
In short: Tandem Strength & Balance® brings private-pay, in-home physical therapy to seniors in Hennepin County. A licensed physical therapist comes to the house and rebuilds the functional leg strength an older adult needs to stand up, climb stairs and stay living at home, including after Medicare-covered therapy has already ended.
Why Hennepin County families call Tandem
Almost always because of a gap. A hospital stay, a covered rehab episode, a discharge, and a parent who is still visibly weaker than before they went in. Medicare-covered therapy ends when the coverage ends, not when someone has finished getting stronger.
Tandem is private pay, which removes the visit cap, the authorization cycle and the coverage rule that decides a person is finished. The therapist and the family decide, based on whether the work is still producing real functional change.
What in-home therapy in Hennepin County actually involves
A licensed physical therapist travels to the client's home in Hennepin County. There is no clinic appointment to arrange and no transport to organize, which matters when the person you are arranging it for is the reason transport is hard.
Working in the home also means the therapy trains the right things. The stairs are the actual stairs. The chair is the actual chair. The bathroom transfer is the one that matters at two in the morning.

What families say
Besides helping my mom to maintain strength, Nicole has been instrumental in catching medical changes in both mom and dad. She made sure the medical staff had the right information and that we asked the right questions. We highly recommend TSB.
TSB is a service second to none and provides: outstanding quality and talented physical therapists, the highest level of interest and concern for the patient, encouragement to increase strength and mobility, ongoing patient communication and RESULTS.
Mom has received therapy 2-3x/week for 2 years. Her therapists know her and understand what motivates her. Little “wins” are celebrated and TSB even handled our FL trip details. So impressed with their professionalism and dedication.
Tandem works on the client's thinking. Many folks have self-talk that has them doubt their abilities. The therapist guides the client into more honest and realiztic self-talk that allows them to accomplish much more than they ever thought they could.
My mom has been helped in so many ways by her Tandem Strength & Balance physical therapist. She is truly so much more than just a physical therapist; she is a friend, a psychologist and empathetic listener. Life is so much better with TSB.
Tandem Strength & Balance is geared to continually encourage and challenge their client to reach new strength goals, keeping the individual's quality of life and mobility the best it can be, for as long as it can be.
