About Us

Lightning Rehab & Fitness was opened in May 2025 by Drs. Tyler and Kaitlyn Rogers, PT, DPT. When they moved to the area several years prior to that, they were overwhelmed by its beauty and the welcoming nature of the community. However, they also noticed a major issue: this great community didn’t have the proper space, equipment, or access required for a quick and successful recovery.

​

It was crucial to build a space specifically designed for Physical Therapy. By working with local contractors, they were able to bring their vision to life and construct a major healthcare facility. It currently stands at over 2,400 square feet (making it the largest in the Lakes!) with future plans to expand to a total 6,000 square feet. It is filled with equipment that is not only helpful, but necessary, for a patient to regain their full function.

​

The space and equipment was only the first part of the plan, though. The Lakes community values being physically active: from talented high school athletes and weekend warriors to those that just love walking the trails, this community is an extremely active one! We want to keep this community moving and build our patients toward a lasting change – and that means doing more than just the most basic exercises. We are here to get you back to what is most important to you, and our Physical Therapists have been specifically recruited and chosen because they believe in that mission.

​

Despite being open for less than two years, Tyler and Kaitlyn have continued to invest in the health and improvement of the community. The clinic is proud to sponsor the annual Okoboji Homecoming Races and Spirit Lake athletics, accept J-Term students, and offer a scholarship to a future health care provider from Dickinson County.
