Prairie Lakes Welcomes Physical Therapist, Chad Hanson

Prairie Lakes Healthcare System is pleased to announce the recent addition of physical therapist, Chad Hanson to Rehabilitation Services.

Chad received his bachelor’s degree in athletic training from South Dakota State University and went on to earn his master’s degree in physical therapy from the University of South Dakota. Chad is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association, South Dakota Physical Therapy Association, National Athletic Trainers Association, as well as the South Dakota Athletic Trainers Association. Chad and his wife recently moved to their area lake home from Sioux Falls where he owned his own physical therapy practice for the past 19 years. In his spare time, Chad enjoys sporting events as well as outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, hiking, and boating.

As a Physical Therapist, Chad focuses on improving strength, mobility, balance, and endurance with patients. His advanced skill set is focused on the outpatient setting of Prairie Lakes, and he has a special interest in orthopedic rehab and sports medicine.

“The change of coming from my own practice to a healthcare system in an entirely different city has been easier than I suspected,” Chad said. “The patients and staff at Prairie Lakes have been very welcoming and I look forward to getting to know my patients and ultimately getting them back to doing what they love.”
