About

BodiKey Physical Therapy, LLC is about giving you the key to your body. Using hands-on therapy to improve the symptoms disrupting your everyday activities and following this up by giving you a home exercise program. These exercises can be used as "tools in your belt" to continually gain range of motion, strengthen muscles, improve posture, and restore your function. Living with loss of function and pain can be a very draining experience both physically and mentally. Here at BodiKey, the ultimate goal is to get you to perform your desired activities without limitations with no pain or, in the case of chronic pain, with very tolerable amount of pain.

Dr. Matthew Hodgden, PT, Cert. DN

My name is Dr. Matthew Hodgden , I have been involved in health care since the young age of 14 years when I became the youngest first responder in the state of Minnesota. I followed this up with my licensure as an emergency medical technician (EMT) at 18 years old. I worked voluntarily as an EMT throughout my undergraduate degree at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, MN. I then continued by health care experience by working on a paid service in Hutchinson, MN while going to school for Paramedicine at South Central College. Deciding to advance my education I was promptly accepted with early admission into the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at University of South Dakota in Vermillion, SD. I haveworked full time as a physical therapist for Allina Health, and part time for River’s Edge in St. Peter, Benedictine skilled nursing facility, Remedy Therapies and On-Site Solutions Physical Therapy. My desire to own my own business has always been my goal of interest because I believe it allows the best balance between a professional and home life while at the same time allowing for the best possible care to every patient that comes through my doors.

Receiving my Doctorate is an amazing achievement, but my greatest honor is becoming a husband to an individual who makes me a better person, and a father to a lovely little girl and baby boy who bring joy and inspiration to my life. Owning my own practice gives me the time and ability to watch them grow and become wonderful individuals. Therefore, I am fully dedicated to your care because it directly influences the way I am able to raise my precious children. Ultimately, giving you the key to your body will allow you to reach your highest potential for both yourself and the passions in your life that keep you going from day to day.
