Ben Grotenhuis, PT, CMTPT, FAAOMPT
Founder | Manual Therapy Specialist | Connective Tissue Expert
With over three decades of clinical experience, Ben Grotenhuis is dedicated to helping people move better and feel better by going beyond conventional physical therapy. As the founder of AllConnected Physical Therapy, Ben specializes in identifying the root causes of pain and dysfunction—especially those overlooked by standard evaluations.
His advanced training in Stecco Fascial Manipulation® and Trigger Point Dry Needling allows him to treat complex musculoskeletal and internal conditions by targeting the body’s connective tissue system. Ben is a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (FAAOMPT), a designation held by fewer than 1% of physical therapists nationwide.
Ben takes the time to listen, investigate, and treat you as a whole person—not just your symptoms. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, post-surgical limitations, or unexplained internal dysfunction, he brings a depth of expertise and a hands-on approach focused on long-term outcomes.
“My goal isn’t just to get you moving—it’s to help your body function better at every level.”
His passion for teaching has also been recognized:
In 2007, he was honored with the Hallvard Award from the Ola Grimsby Institute in San Diego, CA.
In 2015, he received the Clinical Instructor of the Year Award from the Illinois Physical Therapy Association.
With his many years of clinical experience, Ben has learned that staying curious, connected, and committed to listening—to both the body and the patient—is essential for true healing. He continues to evolve his practice through education, exploration, and a deep respect for the body’s fascial and functional complexity.
