SUCCESS STORIES

  • I struggled with neck pain and numbness in my shoulder for years, with no relief, when a friend suggested I try dry needling at Lewistown Physical Therapy and Wellness. I figured I would give it a try. For the first time in 30 years, I am pain free and the numbness is gone. Christy worked a miracle for me and can’t recommend her enough!

  • I am very thankful that Lewistown Physical Therapy and Wellness has kept me out of a wheelchair for the last 9 years. I have gone to both Christy and Vanessa, and find them very, very good at their profession. I have had dry needling, nerve, muscle and deep massage work done with great successes. They give you the tools to help you achieve your goals, but it is up to you to do the work to achieve those goals. It is not easy but worth the hard work. Because of my health problems and condition of my body, I will continue working with Christy and Vanessa to keep myself mobile. I have to be willing to continue to do the work with their help to achieve this. Without their professional knowledge and healing hands, I would not have the quality of life I have. Thank you for all you have helped me achieve.

  • I was at the point of needing assisted living but then my doctor signed me up with Christy. When I started, I could barely walk with my walker a few steps. I could hardly dress myself and had to use a grabber to pick things up and to get dressed. Christy started me out with what I could handle which wasn’t much. I could hardly do five minutes on the Nu-step and 1/4 th the way on the track. Now, I can do 15-20 minutes 5-6 times around the track. I walk without my walker and can bend over to put my shoes on. I still have some trouble lifting my legs and wear out grocery shopping so use an electric cart. Christy is working with me for this. I thank her so much for getting me this far.

  • I started coming here because of what I thought was a thigh and knee issue, and later finding out it was a back issue. I learned exercises that helped alleviate pain and I keep doing them now, because I do not want the pain to return. I swear Christy has magic fingers! Through her gentle manipulations, I was always amazed at being able to leave the office feeling a huge relief of pain.

  • After enduring months of neck stiffness, shoulder pain, arms falling asleep, and low back pain, I needed to find a resolution for my pain. I decided to start my therapy journey with Lewistown Physical Therapy and Wellness for my overall well-being. Through dry needling, manual therapy, visceral and neural manipulation, and ongoing exercise regimen specific to my needs, my issues have subsided, I am able to sleep through the night without pain, walk without back spasms, and lead a more active lifestyle today after receiving treatment for two months. Christy’s hands were just the touch I needed!

  • I want to thank Vanessa for helping me with my chronic neck and back pain!

A Leader in Functional Dry Needling

Functional Dry Needling was accepted into the physical therapy practice act of Montana in 2011 and our physical therapists, Christy Zimmer and Vanessa Moen, were the first to provide this skill in Lewistown in 2013. Functional Dry Needling has expanded across the country and across health care professionals since that time. We are proud to have received high level education through Kinetacore’s early stages of continuing education, including Levels 1-3 and Functional Therapeutics course.

Women’s pelvic health physical therapy is a growing practice in the US, which we proudly offer at our Lewistown clinic. This type of physical therapy focuses on strengthening or relaxing the muscles in the pelvic region and restoring the abdominal cavity pressure system to help with urinary and fecal incontinence, constipation, pelvic floor pain, pelvic organ prolapse and pain with intercourse. 

Our Women’s pelvic health therapy can also prepare your body during pregnancy for childbirth and should provide a faster recovery postpartum and prevent future pelvic floor dysfunction.

Our physical therapist, Vanessa Moen, has been treating the pelvic floor since 2008.

Leader in Women’s Pelvic Health

Leader in Visceral and Neural Manipulation, and Craniosacral Therapy

Visceral Manipulation treatment first began in the 1980s in France. Over time this has slowly expanded into the United States, but it is still considered a newer treatment technique in many regions in the country. Christy Zimmer and Vanessa Moen began their continuing education journey in 2020. 

Neural Manipulation, the gliding and freeing of nerves began in the 1990s in France from world-renowned Osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral. Christy Zimmer began providing this treatment approach in 2021. 

CranioSacral Therapy is a better known, more established treatment technique. Christy Zimmer was the first physical therapist to provide this treatment to patients in the Lewistown community in 2004. Vanessa Moen began her CranioSacral Therapy training in 2023.
