Physical therapy, wherever you are in Montana.
I see patients in the clinic in Bigfork and by secure video. Telehealth saves a long drive on winter roads, keeps your progress going between clinic visits, and brings care to patients who live far from town.

Rural Montana
Ask me how telehealth reduces hospital readmission for rural Americans who have undergone total joint surgeries. For patients a long drive from Bigfork, video visits keep recovery on track between the times you can come in.
Questions
Good to know.
Do I need to come in first?
Some problems need hands-on care in the clinic, and I will tell you if yours does. Many follow-ups and exercise visits work well by video.
What do I need for a video visit?
A phone, tablet or computer with a camera and a quiet space where you can move.
Do I need a referral?
No. Montana allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can call me directly. It is always wise to check whether your specific insurance requires a physician referral for reimbursement.
How do I make an appointment?
Call or text (406) 871-1751, or email tami.ellis@protonmail.com. Tell me a little about what is going on and when you are free. Visits are by appointment only.
