We’re here to accompany you on your healing journey

A student athlete recovering from a major injury. A child learning to use their voice. A senior re-learning to feed themself after suffering a stroke. Physical, speech, and occupational therapies at CMH help patients of all ages develop strength and function for their optimal life.  

Rehabilitation is a journey. The majority of our patients visit at least once a week for a lengthy period of time. They put a lot of hard work into their recovery during clinic sessions and with at-home exercises. Our therapists work hard to ensure each patient receives personalized, empowering care every step of the way. The bonus? We’re located right in Cloquet, meaning patients don’t have to travel as far to receive treatment.
