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.

I’m incredibly grateful to have found Jesse at Full Curl! The progress I've made so far has been remarkable, and I’m excited to see what I can achieve in the coming months. If you’re struggling with back and neck pain like I was, I highly recommend giving Jesse and Cody a call. I’m so glad I finally took that step!
Marcus Mosness
I've been able to see both Cody and Jesse for different pains I'm experiencing, allowing each PT to address the issues within their specific specialty. Their approach is great, specific lifts/exercises to fix the issues, and get you back to action quick. I truly appreciate their approach and ability to support active lifestyles, and I do not feel pressured to continue sessions unless I want more support. Their pricing schedule is different than most, but the value is definitely worth it!
Greg Scheeler
Cody Cooper has helped me so much with regaining strength after a plantar fascia tear in my foot and also lateral hip weakness that was contributing to knee pain while running. His knowledge and strength based approach are excellent! Highly recommend Full Curl Physical Therapy!

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.
