Fischer Physical Therapy was created in 2004 with Matthew Fischer’s vision of providing exceptional physical therapy service in a supportive setting. Since opening in the Power Block Building, the size of both staff and space has doubled to better meet the needs of the Helena community.
Introductions are now in order for the amazing staff assembled at Fischer Physical Therapy. We thank God for the unique synergy of gifts in this “second family” which comprise the heart of our service.
Matthew S. Fischer, MSPT
Founder, Owner, Physical Therapist
Matthew S. Fischer, MSPT, received his Master of Science in Physical Therapy in 2000 from the University of Montana. He has practiced in Helena since that time in outpatient orthopedic settings exclusively. In 2004, Matthew set out to establish Fischer Physical Therapy with emphasis on quality care and superior results. Matthew’s approach is biased toward specialized hands-on techniques, while progressing each client toward independent management with gentle exercise. In 2005, Matthew became 1 of 50 therapists in the U.S. to complete advanced training in Primal Reflex Release Technique.
Shortly thereafter, he qualified to become an instructor for this approach to healing and has taught courses throughout the Northwest. Matthew emphasizes a whole body approach to healing that integrates many types of therapeutic interventions. He continues to develop many innovative applications using both manual techniques and exercise. Chronic pain related to the spine and muscles/joints are his greatest interest. Matthew finds great fulfillment with his faith, family, and an active lifestyle on a small farm outside Helena and the great outdoors.

Patient education is also an important component of her approach to promote long term success and prevention of re-injury after the rehabilitation treatment process.
Areas of specialty include shoulder rehabilitation, SIJ dysfunction, cervical pain and headache treatment. Bobbie also has extensive experience in treating patients following shoulder, knee, hip or ankle surgery as well as individuals with recreational or sports injuries that do not require surgical intervention.
