After going to several other PT clinics in Helena, MT without any relief for cervical and lumbar…read morespine pain, my doctor referred to me to Schaefer-Rau; commenting "this was the PT everybody loved." Dennie Rau, PT is the sole therapist in this practice. I was impressed from the moment I met him and couldn't have been happier with the treatments he used to alleviate the pain, and the useful back strengthening excercises he assigned. This man brings many years of expertise to help his patients and is the most effective PT I have ever experienced. His sense of humor is pretty refined too. He is very perceptive and his disagnostics skills are excellent. He really provided me with relief from the pain and techniques to avoid future problems.

I was feeling defeated and not expecting much in the way of relief. Fast forward to just a few months and I am almost completely pain free, my range of motion has improved considerably, and I am working up to doing some hikes when the weather warms up a bit. Sessions with Jason Jamieson are like spending an hour with your best friend. He is so professional and made me feel comfortable in every way. Allissa is so intuituve and knows exactly where to go and what to do to bring relief. Adam is very intelligent and a very good storyteller. I was sad when my sessions ran out because I actually looked forward to seeing this incredible group of humans twice a week. I had to drive there from Boulder and never once complained about it. I knew when I was finished with a session I would leave feeling incredible. The staff are helpful and personable and fun, and truly, everyone there made me feel like family. I can't thank them enough for giving me my life back after many years of debilitating pain. I highly recommend Gold Leaf if you want the best care in the most caring environment!
