Join us in honoring all the brave men and women who have served our country with courage and dedication.

Did you know? While exercise-based healing has ancient roots, modern physical therapy in the U.S. began in 1918 during World War I. A group of 18 pioneering women, known as “Reconstruction Aides,” used exercise and massage to help injured soldiers recover and regain strength.

One of these trailblazers, Mary McMillan, went on to found the American Women’s Physical Therapeutic Association in 1921, laying the foundation for today’s physical therapy profession.

💪 We owe so much to these early leaders — their dedication shaped the field we proudly continue today!

🧟‍♀️ Don’t wait until Halloween night to start moving!

If you’ve been sitting more than you’ve been strolling lately, it’s time to shake off that zombie walk.

✅ Tip: Bend your knees when lifting 🎃
✅ Stretch your spine before & after trick-or-treating
✅ Stay hydrated (yes, even on candy night!)

Lisa, Jaden and Chelsey made the trip to Missoula yesterday and visited The School of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation at University of Montana for their Job Fair. We got to visit with 1st, 2nd and 3rd year graduate students, faculty and other PT clinics from all over. There was a great turn out this year of booths and we really enjoyed getting to know fellow PT colleagues and future colleagues!

Help us welcome one of our newest Physical Therapist to the team, Emily Taylor! Here is a little about her!

Emily is a dedicated physical therapist with a passion for helping people achieve their goals and return to the activities they love. She earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Eastern Washington University in 2017 and has since gained extensive experience working with a diverse range of patients as a traveling physical therapist.
​
Driven by a belief in treating the whole person, Emily is committed to building a strong therapeutic alliance with each patient. She listens intently to their stories and works collaboratively to create a personalized treatment plan that goes beyond simply addressing symptoms. Her additional certifications in dry needling (from the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy) and the Barbell Rehab Method allow her to integrate a variety of evidence-based techniques to help patients move better and feel stronger.
​
Having personally experienced physical therapy for back injuries from gymnastics and various running-related issues, Emily brings a unique sense of empathy to her practice.
​
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Emily has called Helena home for the past few years and loves everything Montana has to offer. When she's not at the clinic, you can find her mountain biking, hiking, or spending time with her family.

Emily is accepting new patients right now!
