ABOUT BRIDGE PHYSICAL THERAPY
Bridge is changing the physical therapy patient experience.
Bridging the gap between proven physical therapy practices and personalized care, Bridge offers:
- Focused, one-on-one care.
- Quicker recovery with fewer appointments.
- Strong patient-provider relationships.
- Patient empowerment to achieve lasting success.
Choosing a small PT clinic allows you to spend each appointment entirely with your physical therapist. Treatment typically consists of:
- Uncovering the root cause(s) of your injury.
- Creating a treatment plan unique to you that prioritizes your goals for success.
- Hands-on treatments to address your specific condition(s).
- Specific exercise prescription.
- Review of your exercise program to ensure safety and effectiveness as you progress through your recovery.

What to expect at Bridge Physical Therapy
Frequently asked questions
Montana is a direct access state. You can see your physical therapist without a prescription from your doctor. Exceptions include commercial insurance plans, which do require a prescription. Give Meg a call if you have specific questions about your insurance plan.
Bridge Physical Therapy accepts most commercial insurance plans in the state of Montana as well as workers’ compensation, and automobile claims.
All visits at Bridge Physical Therapy last one hour. This time is spent entirely with your physical therapist. You will never be ‘passed on’ to another therapist or assistant.
Please wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing. It is important for your physical therapist to have access to the part of the body for which you are being treated.
For example: shorts are appropriate if you are being treated for knee, hip or ankle pain. Tank tops or jog bras work well for treatments involving the shoulder. We are also well stocked with shorts and gowns if you forget to bring your own!
Depending on your type of injury, you might come for as little as one or two sessions total. Other treatment plans may require one session a week over a longer period. This will always be discussed with you on your first visit, so you know what to expect.
On your first visit, please bring:
- Your insurance card or cards.
- A prescription from your physician (if required).
- A list of your current medications and medical conditions.
Please also be prepared to discuss the history of your injury or pain, including any past surgeries or injuries.
