Bozeman

Why Bozeman patients choose video.

Bozeman has grown fast, and it shows on North 19th Avenue at five o'clock and in new neighborhoods spreading toward Four Corners. Many people moved here for the mountains and kept remote jobs, so mornings are for Bridger Bowl, Hyalite Canyon or the M and afternoons are for calls. Montana State adds students and faculty, and young families keep the playgrounds full. Leaking during runs and ski days, postpartum recovery, pelvic pain and knee pain lead the list of reasons people here book.

One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Montana: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.

Questions

Questions from Bozeman

Do you treat leaking that shows up on trail runs or ski days?

Yes. Leaking with running, jumping or skiing is common in active people, including those who have never had a baby. Treatment is one-on-one by video, with exercises built around the sport.

Can a visit happen from a shared house in Bozeman?

Yes, as long as there is a private room with a door that closes. Visits are one-on-one on a HIPAA-compliant platform, nothing is recorded, and housemates never need to know what the call is about.

How soon can I be seen?

Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
