Tanner and Jackie have been so great to work with. When I first inquired Jackie was very prompt to get me on the books. Tanner has been such a good PT, helpful with my issue, and I’ll keep going back to her as needed.

Jackie has such amazing knowledge on the body as a whole and how it is all connected to the core/ pelvic floor. I had knee pain and it was connected to my weak hip/ tension in the pelvic floor and she was able to give me exercises that cleared up my pain. I recommend her to all of my friends, you will feel comfortable and empowered after meeting with her.

I can’t recommend working with Jackie and Glacier Peaks enough! Not only is Jackie highly skilled, but she is compassionate and understanding on how injuries impact our daily lives and engagement in meaningful activities. After entering my second trimester, I developed significant discomfort/pain in my SI joint that impacted routine movement and put stop on exercising the way I wanted to. After a couple of highly tailored sessions and an exercise program, I am moving around pain free and back to engaging in the activities that bring me joy. She also is highly specialized in the pelvic floor and has been crucial in helping me prepare for birth in order to have as smooth as a recovery as possible.

The Physical Therapists are so kind, graceful, and motivating. They made me feel like I was someone special. I was just doing a pre-employment screening, and they treated me as if I was one of their friends. They made my day a great one. I will recommend this establishment to everyone.

I began working with Jackie six weeks postpartum following a C-section, and I only wish I had done physical therapy after my first child. Jackie introduced me to techniques and information I had never heard of—I’m honestly shocked this kind of care isn’t automatically offered to every woman after childbirth. Her expertise and compassionate approach far exceeded my expectations. I gained strength quickly and finally discovered the source of my pain. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!
