How We Can Help You
Let’s talk about some of the specific ways that we can help you! Below, we’ll go over some of the basic services that we provide. Keep in mind that beyond our physical therapy services, we can also connect you with top-notch physicians to treat other concerns.
Pre and Post Operative Care
Planning, education, and exercises for your individual needs before and after surgery. By providing personalized interventions and continuous guidance for your surgical procedure, we can optimize recovery outcomes, minimize complications, and improve the well-being of our patients.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy uses skilled movements and pressure on the joints, muscles, and soft tissues of the body to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function. Physical therapists, like hand therapists, use their extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics to tailor their approach to physical therapy and rehabilitation for each patient’s unique needs.
Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic exercises are designed to address specific areas of concern or injury and can be adjusted for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. These exercises can help you improve your strength, decrease your pain, and restore your body’s function and flexibility. Whatever is causing you to require physical therapy, therapeutic exercise will likely be a part of your journey. We’re also trained specifically in senior physical therapy.
Testing Services
We also offer a range of testing services in addition to physical therapy to assess body composition, performance, oxygen utilization, joint strength, and more. By taking advantage of these assessments, individuals can gain valuable information about their physical health and identify areas for improvement.
Sport Reintegration
The process of sports reintegration revolves around aiding athletes in rebuilding their physiological abilities, improving their physical fitness, and minimizing the risk of re-injury. We provide Kinesio taping, medical bike fittings, running gait analyses, sports performance testing, training programs, and more so you can make a safe return to your chosen sport!

Our Big Wins
We’ve been working with ISMI for a few years as my daughter has had sports injuries from volleyball. We see Dr Grimm and have really appreciated his knowledge, kindness and thoughtful approach to how to help her heal best. We have now had 2 surgeries with Dr Grimm and have had good experiences both times. He is not quick to push or rush into a surgery and helped us think about all our options before deciding on surgery. The entire staff at ISMI has been incredibly friendly through all of our interactions, too.

Highly recommend. From my initial consultation to my post-operative recovery. Every staff member provided comprehensive care, from checking in, to billing. Each staff member is intelligent, capable and genuinely kind. Meeting with Adia MS, LAT, ATC, was always lovely and Dr Grimm took the time to educate and provide thorough answers to any questions I had. He did an excellent job in surgery and I can not rave enough about him and the new StLukes surgery center on 27th. Post-operative care was the most time efficient and productive physical therapy I have experienced. Sean PTA and Sara DPT were both encouraging, professional, supportive and effective in their work. Supporting my rehabilitation with increased strength, mobility, and function. My most recent visit was with Dr. Scheffel, once again I had the highest degree of care. Dr.Scheffel was an excellent source of knowledge, professionalism and personable. Dr. Scheffel provided empathy while verbally walking me through a procedure which provided reassurance and decreased any emotional discomfort. Lisa MS, LAT, ATC was another positive addition to my experience, smart, sweet, and engaged in conversation throughout my appointment creating positive distraction. I can not recommend ISMI more as they always made me feel as if I received the VIP treatment at each visit.

Every staff member that has helped me, from front desk, to Doctor, to PT and PTAs has been a highly skilled expert, considerate, but also used their assessment skills to push me to my next level up in each visit. Amazing! I appreciate them all so much.

The entire staff at ISMI was friendly and efficient. I’ve been a patient for several years, this time for a hip issue. Both Dr. Curran and Dr. Scheffel were excellent. I have the utmost confidence in their care.

Idaho Sports Medicine is by far the best sports medicine facility I have ever been to—both the physicians and the rehab facility. They have helped me through multiple injuries over the past 20 years, and I’m still playing hockey!. I will never go anywhere else. Drs. Jennifer Miller and Scott Scheffel are absolutely amazing.
