What Helena Patients Are Saying

Verified reviews from Helena-area hikers, trail runners, and active adults who came in frustrated and left ready to get back out.

Cody has been instrumental in keeping me focused on my healthcare journey. He listens! He teaches me every time I meet with him. He's not just effective, he cares.

Knowledgeable in all areas of PT and friendly staff.
Cristy Weber
Working with Jesse has been amazing. I was a bit in doubt if my back and shoulder pain, due to arthritis, torn ligament and some bulging discs would go away with just PT. In the process of working on these areas he did a balance test and found to have some balance issues. After 2 months of PT, I can say that I finally have relief in shoulders and can move them without pain and getting up in the morning is much easier on my back. Thanks to all the work Jesse has put into helping me, I am grateful to have found him for my health goals. I certainly feel 100% better, have better movement. He will push me to do more as that is when the healing begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Helena-area patients ask before scheduling their first visit.

How far is Full Curl PT from Helena?

We're located at 2 Virginia Road in Montana City — just a short drive south of Helena. Most Helena patients find the commute easy to fit into their week, and the one-on-one hour-long sessions mean you're making the most of every trip in.

Do I need a doctor's referral to start physical therapy?

Montana's direct access rules for physical therapy were not confirmed at the time this page was written. Reach out directly and we'll walk you through exactly what you need to get started — it's usually a simpler process than people expect.

Why choose a cash-based PT clinic over an insurance-based one near Helena?

Insurance-based clinics are often managing multiple patients at once — which means less time with your provider and more time with an aide. At Full Curl, every session is a full hour, one-on-one with the same Doctor of Physical Therapy. You get more focused attention, a better plan, and fewer wasted visits. We accept HSA/FSA and can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.

What kinds of injuries and issues do you work with?

We work with patients dealing with knee pain, low back pain, shoulder injuries, hip issues, ankle problems, running overuse injuries, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, post-surgical rehab, and chronic pain. If you're not sure your situation fits, start with a free discovery call — that's exactly what it's for.

What is The Full Curl Process?

It's our three-step approach to getting you back to your activities and keeping you there. We start by Reducing pain through evidence-based care. Then we Relearn proper movement patterns to correct the compensation habits that often lead to reinjury. Finally, we Reload — progressively loading your tissues in ways that match your specific goals, whether that's finishing a race, packing out an elk, or getting back on the trail with confidence.
