The Hypermobility Solution
The Hypermobility Solution program includes office hours as part of its comprehensive service. Direct access to Kate and her team at Great Divide Physical Therapy allows individuals who need hypermobility help to get in-person consulting.
How do I schedule my session?
The hypermobility program lasts 10 weeks. We recommend scheduling your in-office session during your program. The office is located in Missoula, MT. This may involve travel for some but many find the one-on-one time to be very beneficial to their progress.

Our mission is to provide our patients with the tools they need to lead healthy, active lives without the aid of drugs or surgery.
