Practice Somewhere You Want to Build a Life

Some places make you choose between a career and a life. Butte, MT isn't one of them. The staff here are serious clinicians who also happen to live serious outdoor lives — hunting seasons, fishing reports, powder mornings, and backcountry miles are just part of the culture. That's not a coincidence. It's what you get when a clinic is built by and for people who chose to be here on purpose.

The geography speaks for itself. Butte sits within striking distance of some of the best outdoor access in the West — Georgetown Lake, Discovery Ski Area, and the Pintler Wilderness are all close by. The Flint Creek Range offers hiking and backcountry terrain in every direction. World-class fly fishing on the Missouri headwaters is a short drive away, and Glacier National Park is a legitimate day trip. For a PT who's been told they have to leave this kind of place to have a real career — or leave a real career to live this kind of life — this is the rebuttal.

Many therapists move here for the lifestyle—and stay for the career growth, community, and mentorship opportunities. This is a place where you can practice hands-on PT, take ownership of your patients, and develop into a future clinic leader while building the life you love.

About Pintler Physical Therapy & Sports Rehab

This isn't a corporate posting. Owner Mike Cline's family has worked and lived here for generations — his grandfathers at the Anaconda smelter, his own path running from a local upbringing through a baseball scholarship, graduate school, and a deliberate decision to come back and build the clinic this town actually needed. For a PT who wants to work somewhere the owner has real skin in the game, that context matters. Ownership here is a generational bet on a place.

Clinically, the opportunity is equally rare. Mike holds the FAAOMPT and Diploma Osteopractic — the highest levels of post-professional training in orthopedic and manual therapy. For PTs with interest in advanced manual therapy, vestibular rehab, or concussion management, direct mentorship under Mike offers a development trajectory you won't find at a critical access hospital or regional chain. This kind of advanced clinical environment usually requires leaving a community to find. Here, it exists because of one.

You’ll join a team where mentorship is part of the job, collaboration is real, and professional growth is encouraged. Our clinics consistently rank in the top tier nationally for patient outcomes, and we prioritize creating a work environment where you can thrive both professionally and personally.
