Dr. Kyla Peterson PT, DPT, OCS

Orthopedic Physical Therapy Helena, MT

Hello Everyone! I am Dr. Kyla Peterson PT, DPT, OCS. I became a PT to develop relationships with patients in a field that still allows that connection. I desire to help people stay active without restrictions or excuses and love helping people exceed the goals they think possible when they first walk in the door.

I specialize in treating pediatric and adult orthopedic conditions and injuries including everything
from scoliosis to ankle sprains, pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation, return to sport training, and
most other conditions affecting a patient’s ability to live the life they desire.

I utilize Myofascial Decompression (cupping), Functional Dry Needling, Pilates-based
interventions, Blood Flow Restriction Training, and a plethora of other manual and interventional
techniques to help improve tissue tolerance to strength and movement retraining.
I want you informed, educated, and equipped to manage your pain outside the clinic. I also want
you loading heavier in the clinic and your personal workouts than the stresses that will be
placed on your body during functional tasks so that you can prevent injury, rather than seeing
me once it develops.

My general advice for people is to “celebrate for small reasons in all seasons” and “find your
best adventure”. The best physical therapy advice I give is to not assume you’re using a muscle
just because you’re wearing it.

I hope you’ll agree that great PTs come in small packages.

If you are interested in seeing me as a physical therapist, or are interested in seeing how I may be able to help you achieve your goals, please call Optimal Sports Physical Therapy at 406-502-1782.
