About Dr. Tom Tardif Physical Therapy in Alexandria, MN

Are nagging injuries, lingering pains, or constant aches making it hard to stay fit, play sports, or live well?

Welcome! I’m Dr. Tom Tardif, owner and founder of Tom Tardif Physical therapy. I’m dedicated to the idea that everyone deserves to be treated like an athlete, because we all need to move well, be healthy, and perform our best for whatever life throws at us. Just like a pro athlete, the key to being your best is making sure your whole body is strong, balanced, and functioning smoothly.

Have you ever been told:

“Just rest it for a while and see if the pain stops”
“Take these pills (or injection) and come back in a few weeks” (only to get more pills)
“Have you tried the Chiropractor to align your spine?”
“You’re done with your rehab, so that’s as good as you will get”
“It’s been 9 months since the operation, so you’re probably fine to play.”
“It’s impossible to get back to where you were before the injury.”
“Surgery is your only option left.” (and then you still can’t run, play, or workout as hard…)"

Unfortunately, too many people don’t get the help they need because their providers only address the individual part and symptoms.

You don’t have to accept these answers. I’ve helped countless athletes of all types recover from injury and get back to their sport, workout, or hobby better than they were before. Whether you’re a competitive youth athlete, a weekend warrior, a busy professional trying to stay fit, or a mom trying to get back in shape, you can eliminate your pain, reach your goals, and be in the best condition of your life.

How? By working to understand the source of your pain and then coordinating with all the right experts to treat the root causes throughout your body, not just the symptoms. Medications only mask the problem, and pain will keep coming back after surgery if the underlying causes aren’t corrected. At Tom Tardif Physical Therapy, I treat your whole person with a plan that works with your body, your history, your activities, and your goals. I treat you like the unique individual and athlete you are.

"Dr. Tardif is a miracle worker, and I don't say that lightly. His work has changed my life, eliminated chronic pain and set me up for a much improved quality of life. I had no idea how badly my body was imbalanced, and how those imbalances caused all the chronic pain I had; I thought it was just something I was going to have to live with. I'm so grateful for his care and what he's done for me."

"Debilitating shoulder pain brought me to Dr Tom Tardif. Little did I know that my chronic heel, low back, hip, SI joint, and neck pain were also going to improve after I started going to Resonance. It turns out, all the above-mentioned areas that were experiencing pain improved significantly after some sessions with Dr. Tom. His integrative work with a dentist and eye doctor has also contributed to the success (yes, that was kind of mind-blowing for me too)."
