Excel Physical Therapy

🎉 Happy Birthday, Bryan! 🎉
We're so happy to have you as part of the Excel team!
From day one, you've brought a positive attitude, a willingness to jump in wherever needed, and great energy to the front office.
We hope your day is filled with all your favorite things and that the year ahead brings plenty of reasons to celebrate. Thanks for all you do, Bryan, and welcome to the birthday club at Excel! 🎂🎈👏

How does your PT know when you are ready to run after an injury or surgery? Jason taught the Excel team about the Running Readiness Scale and brought them through the 5 (surprisingly challenging!) tasks. Schedule an appointment today if you're questioning your running abilities and want to be screened for injury prevention. Thanks Jason! ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​

🥾 Hiking Season Checklist from Your PT Team
Before you hit the trails this summer, here are a few PT-approved reminders to help your body keep up with your adventure plans ⛰️☀️
✅ Warm up before starting
✅ Hydrate early and often
✅ Wear supportive, broken-in footwear
✅ Keep backpack weight manageable
✅ Strengthen and prep your hips, knees, ankles, and core
✅ Remember: downhill hiking is often tougher on the body than the climb
✅ Listen to pain signals early instead of pushing through them
✅ Prioritize recovery after longer hikes
The goal isn’t just making it to the top… it’s feeling good enough to get back out there again next weekend 💪

[A little belated, but very deserved] Happy Birthday to one of our amazing PTs, Nikki Kimball, who keeps life moving at full stride 🎉🏃‍♀️

Whether she’s coaching, running, encouraging patients, or lifting up the team around her, she brings energy, passion, and heart into everything she does. We’re lucky to have you on Team Excel and hope your day is as incredible as you are 💙👏

Have you had an ACL reconstruction and still experiencing ongoing instability? Kylie taught the team how utilizing rotational stability exercises, and if necessary, a surgical procedure called a Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis can be utilized to improve stability post ACLr. Questioning if this is right for you? Call today to get scheduled. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​

We’re so grateful for this thoughtful review and honored to be part of the recovery journey after a knee replacement surgery 💙
Hearing that our team, environment, and one-on-one care made such a positive impact means the world to us. Huge shoutout to Team Excel for continuing to provide exceptional care every day 👏

Gearing up for a summer trail running and not sure which shoe to choose? Comfort is the most important decision when choosing a shoe. Head down to Bozeman Running Co. to have an expert help find the best shoe for you! ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​

Have you ever been told that "you just need to get stronger and your pain will go away"? That's not the whole picture! Evan taught the team about how exercise affects musculoskeletal pain on various levels, and how strength is not the only aspect of exercise that decreases pain. Can't seem to change your symptoms on your own? Call today to get scheduled. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​
