OUR HISTORY

Join-our-team-photo8-Achieve-Therapy-and-Fitness-Grand-Forks-ND

Our business roots and community ties reach back more than 40 years. Great Plains Physical Therapy was founded by Cliff Lafreniere in 1981 to provide outpatient physical therapy services in the Grand Forks area. As an outpatient clinic, Great Plains specializes in the treatment of orthopedic injuries, with an emphasis on athletic injuries. They quickly gained recognition as a leader in rehabilitation and treatment of sports-related injuries and were the first healthcare agency in the region to offer athletic training services to area schools. With the addition of personalized fitness programs, they became Great Plains Physical Therapy Clinic & Fitness Center in 1986.

Great Plains was approached during the summer of 1996 and eventually purchased by health care giant HealthSouth Corporation in November, making them the only Healthcare provider in the United States to have facilities in all 50 states. Several years later, as HealthSouth struggled with corporate difficulties, some of the local employees took steps to purchase the assets of the Grand Forks and Devils Lake Facilities.  In April 2003, Select Therapy was created by Cliff Lafreniere, Michelle Aitchison, Laurie Holte and Shawn McCoul and Jeff Barta.

Due to trademark issues, Achieve Therapy was born in 2009, owned and operated by Cliff Lafreniere, Michelle Ellis, Laurie Holte, Heather Walsh, Tom Carson, Jeff Barta, and Annette Palmgren. The business quickly expanded to provide exceptional therapy services to Grand Forks, East Grand Forks, Park Rapids, Park River, Grafton, Minot and Detroit Lakes. 

Currently, Achieve Therapy is proud to serve Grand Forks, ND, Park Rapids, MN, and [town-four], as well as surrounding areas.
