Courtney’s guidance not only restored me to engaging in life like I hadn’t since having kids, but also helped me find a piece of myself that had been missing. - L.R. Courtney has helped me immensely with pelvic floor workouts, building better health habits, understanding my body and it’s functions, and overall is incredible what she does. She takes the time to listen to you and genuinely cares about curing the problem, not just throwing a bandaid on top of it. She is trustworthy, reliable, communicative and I would recommend her to all in search in search of her services. -A.N. After experiencing Pelvic Floor Dysfunction for over six years, working with Courtney made it possible for me to engage in activities that I had avoided. Even though I live far from Billings, she worked with me to find ways to make noticeable and prolific progress. Courtney’s guidance not only restored me to engaging in life like I hadn’t since having kids, but also helped me find a piece of myself that had been missing. I will forever be grateful for the time working with such a professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate Physical Therapist. -L.R. My husband and I took our-6-year-old with constipation and soiling issues to see Courtney for pelvic floor therapy and a new treatment she had not yet tried out on a patient before so we were VERY excited to be her first patient to try this new program! Courtney was incredibly compassionate and understanding. The program was a year long and between her dedication, hard work and our work at home, we saw such substantial progress in just a few short weeks. Not only did our son see her for pelvic floor therapy, but I saw her as well after our daughter was born. After having 4 kids in a little bit of time, my body didn't have much time to heal and boy did she kick my ass in a good way. She pushed me just enough so my body knew how it was supposed to work it the right way. She made me feel SO much better. She cares for the well being of ALL of her patients and truly wants everyone to get better. I would highly recommend Courtney for any type of physical therapy needs if you are looking for one. -T.Y. I am so glad I found Courtney to treat my son’s core and pelvic floor issues. She keeps each session fun and engaging for him and the home exercises manageable for me. We’ve seen amazing results already and are excited to continue working with her. I’d recommend her to any parent looking for a pediatric PT especially for pelvic floor! -J.H. My first birth was extremely difficult and traumatizing, resulting in pelvic floor dysfunction. Because of this, I felt like birthing a second child would be out of the question. However, after working with Courtney, I felt empowered and encouraged to have another child. My second birth was a much better experience because of the knowledge and experience Courtney offered that allowed me to heal. -R.P. We have been seeing Courtney for my daughter’s bowel and bladder issues! She has worked wonders for us and gave us new hope -T.N.B.
