Physical Therapist

About Peak Physical Therapy

Peak Physical Therapy is a therapist-owned outpatient practice with two locations in Helena, MT, reinvigorated a few years ago when Anthony Purviance took ownership alongside co-owner Courtney, bringing fresh energy and dual-specialty mentorship in orthopedics and neurology to the practice. You get 40-minute sessions with no double-booking, unlimited CE funding, and up to $19,000 in fellowship and career investment on top of a competitive base, plus a caseload spanning ortho, neuro, sports, and vestibular care that few two-location practices can match. Whether you're building clinical expertise, growing into leadership, or aiming for ownership yourself, Peak offers a clear track to get there, in a city just ranked the #1 place to live in Montana.

Life in Helena, MT

Helena was just named the #1 Best Place to Live in Montana (US News & World Report, 2026), with a median home price around $389,000, far below what you'd pay in Bozeman, Denver, or Seattle. It's a walkable capital city, small enough to know your neighbors but with a real downtown, breweries, and restaurants. Outdoor access is built in: hiking trails and reservoirs in town, skiing 45 minutes away, and Glacier and Yellowstone both a short drive away.

• Teaching patients and their families about recovery, home exercise, and injury prevention
• Tracking progress and adjusting plans as patients progress
• Collaborating with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care
• Documenting in line with HIPAA and state and federal rules, using AI tools that cut down on paperwork instead of adding to it
