About Bethany:
Hi! I am Dr. Bethany Brausen (Kozak) (she/her) and am passionate about treating runners, including those with pelvic floor conditions. I'm a former Division I track & cross country athlete at the University of South Dakota (USD), where I was part of 6x Summit League Champion Teams. I continue to run with local teams in the Twin Cities, MN.

I hold a BS and BA in Exercise Science and Spanish from USD, a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences, and am a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist after completing my residency at MHealth Fairview. I also have specialty training in pelvic floor treatment from Herman & Wallace and run coaching certification through UESCA.

Having experienced multiple bone stress injuries myself as a runner, I not only understand the frustrations but also made it my mission to help others reduce injury risk and bridge the gap between rehab and performance. My individualized, goal-oriented approach emphasizes injury risk reduction through movement optimization, hands-on techniques, and effective loading. My aim is to help athletes reach not only the finish line but also future starting lines, healthy.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy running, spending time with my husband, family, and friends, hiking, traveling, live music, and being with community. As a member of Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa my goal is to support our Tribal Nations as well as to the land we run and live on.
