MEET THE TEAM
DR. MAGGIE KOETHE
Hi friend, I’m Maggie Koethe, a movement and rehab focused chiropractor based in Excelsior, MN. I work with young athletes, active women, and anyone who loves to move - whether you’re training for a race, rehabbing from an injury, or navigating postpartum recovery. My goal is simple: to help you move confidently and without limitation.
My approach is personal. In high school, I herniated a disc playing hockey and was told I’d never lift heavy again. That didn’t sit right with me and thankfully, through great chiropractors, PTs, and athletic trainers, I learned that with smart, progressive rehab, “never” doesn’t have to be the answer. That experience shaped how I practice today: I want my patients to know there’s always an option, we just need to find the right one for you.
My care is rooted in movement. I look at how your body moves (not just where it hurts) and find ways to reintroduce those movements safely into your workouts and daily life. I blend chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, soft tissue work, cupping, and corrective exercises to help you move better, not just feel better temporarily. With my background in personal training, I also design rehab and strength plans to keep you progressing while you heal.
Before chiropractic school, I played hockey at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and later fell in love with distance running completing a number of races, including two marathons. Today, I still coach at Orangetheory Fitness and with a local girls’ hockey team, which keeps me connected to the athlete mindset and the power of movement at every level.
When I’m not in the clinic or coaching, you’ll find me running with my dog, trying a new Minneapolis restaurant with my husband, reading (usually multiple books at once), or out on Lake Minnetonka - skiing, surfing, or skating depending on the season.
