Check out this recent interview with our Billings Physical Therapist, Jay Griffith!
Jay discusses the top things you should know about physical therapy, and how to set up a physical therapy consulation with our team.
Did you know that starting with physical therapy first can save you thousands of dollars? Physical therapy helps by addressing harmful movement issues early that, left untreated, often lead to bigger more expensive medical interventions in the future. Instead of reflexively spending hundreds of dollars on unnecessary medical doctor visits, or worse, ignoring your pain because of expensive healthcare costs, start with a visit to a doctor of physical therapy first, for all your back, joint, or muscle issues.

I participated in a workout class and overheard two women talking to each other about leaking urine during the jumping jack warm up. They laughed, they leaked, and they laughed more. Sadly, this is not an uncommon topic. I hear women talking about “leaking” all the time:
“I'm six months postpartum and feeling like the new norm is leaking urine. I leak when laughing, coughing, jumping, and bending over to lift the baby.”

As we always say, we hope it helps you “Feel Better!”

“I had pain in my lower back. I came in and was told about dry needling, and I was a bit hesitant. It was explained in great detail and that was very reassuring. I was expecting pain, but when we started I didn’t feel anything. It was great! Afterward I was a bit tired, but after a few sessions I was energized and felt I had more energy and less pain. I have been recommending dry needling to everyone. It has honestly been a God send. Thanks!” - Mary M., LPPT dry needling patient
