Established in Missoula, MT in 2013, Great Divide Physical Therapy believes in the philosophy that patient care should be effective, educational, and efficient and patients should take an active role in their health. Over the last four years our therapists, staff, and patients have been living and improving on that mission.
My brother had an excellent experience with Dr. Skinner to change his walking mechanics after a previous knee surgery. He suggested I see what Dr. Skinner could do for me. Dr. Skinner was able to use ASTYM and other techniques to gain a significant increase in my range of motion. Dr. Skinner was able to increase my dorsiflexion and helped me regain a normal range of motion in my ankle.

Treatment
Report
We believe that educating our patients on the condition, treatment, and how it is affected by daily activities is one of the most important treatment techniques we use. Manual Physical Therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy delivered with the hands as opposed to a device or machine.
In manual therapy, practitioners use their hands to put pressure on muscle tissue and manipulate joints in an attempt to decrease back pain caused by muscle spasm, muscle tension, and joint dysfunction.ASTYM treatment is a soft tissue therapy treatment that regenerates healthy soft tissues (muscles, tendons, etc.), and removes unwanted scar tissue that may be causing pain or movement restrictions.
