JESSICA JOHNSTON

PHYSICAL THERAPIST

Johnston, Jessica.jpg

Jessica earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Montana, where she also completed her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and minor in psychology. While in school, Jessica spent many hours getting to know those in her community with neurologic and cancer-related conditions and impairments by coordinating an exercise-based cancer support group, teaching therapeutic horseback riding lessons, and working at an adaptive gym for those with physical disabilities. During this time, she developed a special interest in vestibular, neurological, and oncology rehabilitation. Jessica enjoys coordinating with her patients to meet their specific functional goals and maximizing their ability to participate in their favorite activities. She is excited to continue learning and improving her clinical skills so that she can provide the best, evidence-based care for each patient’s unique needs.

 

Jessica grew up in Big Timber, Montana and is thrilled to be living in the wonderful Hamilton community. She enjoys exploring the Montana outdoors, traveling to new places, and spending time with her partner and her animals.
