Bethany Brausen graduated from Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences, from which she obtained her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. After physical therapy school, she went on to complete her orthopedic physical therapy residency with MHealth Fairview to become a board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist. She is also a pelvic health provider and enjoys bridging the gap between orthopedic and pelvic health conditions. One of her passions and special interests in physical therapy is long-distance running and bone health optimization, which translates in the clinic to helping active individuals get back to life/activities not only safely, but also resiliently, to reduce the risk of future injuries. Outside of the clinic, Bethany helps coach the Minnetonka High School Girls Cross Country team, enjoys running, and loves all things outdoors with her husband, family, and friends, including hiking and live music events.
