You Shouldn't Have to Choose Between Pain and Performance

  • Stuck in the Cycle

    You've tried rest, ice, and hoping it goes away—but the pain keeps coming back every time you get active again.

  • Generic Treatment Plans

    Cookie-cutter PT sessions that don't account for your outdoor lifestyle or athletic goals leave you frustrated and unhealed.

  • Limited Time & Attention

    Rushed appointments where you're just another number make it impossible to address the root cause of your injury.

This was the best, by far, experience I’ve had with physical therapy. Cody’s knowledge, care, and attention to detail is amazing. I did not feel like I was just another patient he was rushing through. The facilities are fully equipped with everything you could need to get back to performing how you want.

The Full Curl Process: From Pain to Performance

  • Reduce

    We begin by reducing your pain using evidence-based practices so you can move without thinking about your injury.

  • Relearn

    Your body creates compensation patterns after injury. We teach proper movement mechanics to reduce your risk of reinjury.

  • Reload

    We load your tissues in ways that match your goals—getting you back to living your life with confidence and strength.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No! Montana is a direct access state, which means you can see a physical therapist without a physician referral. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage, so we recommend checking with your provider. At Full Curl, we're happy to help you navigate your insurance benefits or discuss cash-pay options.


  • Your initial evaluation will be a full hour with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. We'll discuss your injury history, goals, and lifestyle, then perform a thorough movement assessment. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's causing your pain and a personalized treatment plan designed to get you back to doing what you love. We'll also start treatment on day one—no waiting for results.

  • Unlike traditional PT clinics, we provide one-on-one care for a full hour every visit. You won't be handed off to assistants or rushed through cookie-cutter exercises. Our treatment plans are built around your life and goals—not insurance codes. Plus, you can contact your PT directly between sessions if questions come up.

  • We work with most major insurance plans and are happy to verify your benefits before your first visit. We also offer transparent cash-pay pricing with no surprise charges. Our goal is to make high-quality, individualized care accessible to active individuals in the Montana City and Helena area.
