Primary Services
Complete Concussion Care
We are Montana’s leaders in concussion rehab and treatment. Concussion is a complex injury resulting in varied, individual symptoms. All of the therapists at Optimal Sports Physical Therapy are specially trained in the current techniques of concussion evaluation, management and treatment. Don’t suffer from symptoms any longer, call today for your concussion evaluation.
Running Analysis
Are you a runner? Do you wonder if you could run more efficiently, with less effort? Maybe you just want to improve your running performance. A running analysis from OSPT can help identify ways to improve your running form, increase your performance, and decrease injury risk. A running analysis can help runners of all ages and abilities! From running your first 5k to running a trail ultra, we can help you!

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)
Our therapists have specialized and advanced training in the field of Blood Flow Restriction Training so that we can offer you the most current treatment techniques to aid in your recovery. Combining BFR with PT has been shown to help drive healing. Whether you had ACL surgery or you have a rotator cuff tear, BFR may help speed up your healing process and get you back in the game quicker.
Women’s Health Physical Therapy
Also known as Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is beneficial to many women who suffer from pelvic pain, leakage, painful sexual intercourse, low back pain, pain during or after pregnancy. Pelvic Floor PT may be able to help you return to normal pelvic floor function.
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic Therapy is also known as Pool PT or Pool Therapy. Our aquatic Therapist Dr. Margaret Koenig, DPT is specially trained to treat physical therapy patients in the pool setting. For more details on how pool therapy can help you, click here.
Return to Sport Testing
No matter what injury you are recovering from, it is important to make sure you are ready to return to sport. We use the latest in state of the art equipment, technology, and techniques (force plates, running analysis, and more) to assess your readiness to safely return to sport.
Personalized Rehab Programs
There is no “one size fits all” approach to rehabilitation. Our therapists are experts in orthopedic rehabilitation and will design an effective rehabilitation program tailored to your specific deficits and one designed to help you achieve your goals.

See what our patients say about their experience at OPT!
Kailey was phenominal! She took the time to educate me, make sure I’m comfy, and got me at a good pace with PT and healing. I am a massage therapist and there is no way I would have been able to go back to work without her and I am so grateful she got me back to work sooner than I was expecting ! Please let her know she is awesome and I am very grateful to her and your whole welcoming staff
