Meet our team

A veteran-owned team of licensed physical therapists providing hands-on outpatient care in Hot Springs and the southern Black Hills.

Brad Fischer, PT, MSPT

Owner and Manager, Physical Therapist

U.S. Marine Corps veteran

Brad felt the call to serve his country and served both at home and abroad in the United States Marine Corps. He has practiced physical therapy in multiple settings over the past 20 years, with patients ranging from newborns to centenarians. He enjoys helping people reduce pain, improve performance and return to active lifestyles, and he opened Battle Mountain Physical Therapy to offer quality outpatient physical therapy to the people of the Black Hills. Brad most enjoys a hands-on approach to therapy, along with giving patients the education and tools to manage their health and treat themselves.
