A day in the life

What a day at Peak

actually looks like.

Morning

Caseload summary already in your EMR. No scrambling, no surprises. 

All Day

40-minute sessions, one patient at a time. No double-booking, ever.

Anytime

Anthony and Courtney are down the hall. Direct mentorship in orthopedics and neurology, built in.

End of Day

Documentation is done before your last patient leaves. Your evenings are yours.

Fridays

4x10s available. Take Friday off, every week, if that's the schedule you want.

Clinical Specialties

What you will be

treating at Peak.

A full scope of practice across two specialties most two-location practices can't offer.

Orthopedic Rehabilitation

Post-surgical care, chronic pain, and musculoskeletal dysfunction across the full orthopedic spectrum.

Neurological Rehabilitation

Movement retraining and complex neuro caseload under Courtney's NCS board certification, rare for a two-location outpatient practice.

Manual Therapy & Dry Needling

Joint mobilization and dry needling integrated into the clinical workflow under Anthony's Cert. DN. Not a checkbox.

Sports Medicine

Return-to-sport care for an active Montana population: skiers, trail runners, and anglers included.

Post-Surgical Rehab

Shoulder, hip, knee, and spine. A PT with the patient throughout. Not a tech.

Vestibular and Balance

Balance and vestibular care supported by Courtney's neurologic specialty. Depth most Helena outpatient practices can't match.

That is up to $19,000 in fellowship and career investment. Per clinician.
