WE HELP

Athletes and active adults in Rhinelander, Wisconsin get out of pain and back to the activities they love!!

Imagine the places you could go and the things you could do if you didn’t have pain.

At Motivation Health & Wellness in Rhinelander, WI, we work with athletes and active adults who are tired of cookie-cutter care and ready for a plan that actually moves the needle. Our direct access model means you skip the referral, come in the same day you need us, and spend 60 to 75 minutes with a doctoral-level clinician focused entirely on you, not on what your insurance allows.

We help people working through runner's knee and IT band syndrome, Achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis, low back pain and sciatica, hip pain and labral tears, shoulder injuries and rotator cuff strains, and a full range of overuse injuries that keep athletes on the sidelines longer than they should be. When running is central to your life, our running physical therapy in Rhinelander combines expert movement assessment, running gait analysis, and sport-specific rehab to get you back at pace and keep you there.

Recovery is built into every plan. Our Recovery Room includes infrared sauna, cold plunge, and compression therapy, and treatments like dry needling, cupping, and blood flow restriction therapy are integrated where they'll move the needle fastest. When you're ready to go beyond pain management, our sports performance training builds the strength and mechanics that keep you off the table for good.

No physician referral needed. No waitlist. Just care designed around your goals from day one. Reach out or schedule a free 15-minute call to get started.

Our approach

Direct access doctoral care broken down into three steps:

Step 1) Give us a call so we can talk about what is bothering you and see if you would be a good fit for the services we provide.

Step 2) Evaluation from one of our doctors who specialize in pain associated with athletic movement. The goal is to find the root cause of the problem at hand.

Step 3) Customize a specific rehab approach that aligns with your goals. The best part is that this step is strictly a team effort between you and your movement doctor! (Insurance doesn’t dictate what we do)

Bonus) Once pain is gone and you are back to performing at your best, we can create a lifelong plan that exceeds previous performance levels and keep you out of pain!

SUCCESS STORY!!

“Went to see Dr Jayson Dahlquist with some lower back issues and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He is a great listener and did a bunch of physical test to see where I was at to get to the root of the problem. I am happy to say I feel much stronger and have a list of videos and exercises I can use to stay strong and keep the problem from coming back. We have also been working on some wrist and numbing of the hands issues I have and can’t be happier we talked this through and again did some physical test to see where I was at. Feeling stronger everyday and thankful I made the call to Dr Dahlquist. Thank You for all your good advice, exercises and encouragement!”

SUCCESS STORY!!

“My teenage daughter is seeing Jayson for therapy related to some knee and hip issues. He has been able to assess and address the issues and her pain is gone but unlike traditional therapy treatment it doesn't end there. Jayson continues to work with her on a therapy level to strengthen her muscles to prevent and reduce her risk of getting hurt in the future. He also has advanced performance knowledge and is working with her on high level athletic skills to improver her speed and strength. Jayson is very knowledgeable and he is building a great therapy program. I would recommend him for any physical therapy needs you have but especially if you are an athlete trying improve their sport performance.”
