Reviews of Prime Performance and Physio (Physiotherapist)

Keith Krell

If you're looking for the absolute best in physical therapy, rehabilitation, and strength training, look no further than Dr. Billy McClenahan! I have always been reticent to go to doctors of any kind because I have not found my appointments to be worthwhile. Fortunately, Dr. McClenahan has been the exception to my experience. Billy has treated me for ankle, shoulder, and back injuries from basketball and powerlifting. He has served as my personal powerlifting coach. (He has also trained my three children ages 19, 17, and 15.) No one has helped me more with my physical body than Dr. McClenahan. Furthermore, when Billy treats patients he gives his undivided attention. He doesn't come with a preconceived agenda. Even though he is imminently qualified, he is shockingly humble. He actively listens and takes his time with each and every patient. Even though Billy has countless patients and friends, when you are with him you are the only person that matters to him. Astoundingly, Dr. McClenahan also has the strongest gift of encouragement that I have ever witnessed in my 45 years. I unabashedly rave about him because he's simply the best--bar none! I have also had the privilege of knowing Billy and his wife Kieran as close friends. I can vouch for Billy's character as a husband, friend, mentor, and man of integrity. I trust him and his counsel implicitly. In case you think I am given to exaggeration or hyperbole, I challenge you to visit Prime Performance and Physio. After you are done with your first appointment, you will probably insist that I didn't go far enough in my endorsement. That's how confident I am in Dr. Billy McClenahan.

Love this gym! The owner, Dr. Billy is one of the most amiable guys you'll ever meet and has created a very open and friendly atmosphere! They also have a top notch facility and equipment that is kept very organized and clean! Couldn't be happier with this place.

I went to Billy for a quad tear I was struggling with. He had innovative and fun exercises that got me back. He has a real feel for knowing how far to push it.I highly recommend him he is amazing.

I can't imagine a better team to help me get back in action after ACL reconstruction surgery. Billy is the best. Challenging and gentle in all the right ways. They help you build confidence as you improve your strength. I left every time feeling better and stronger. And, they're just FUN, kind people. Thank you Billy, Courtney, Kevin, and crew!

George Hogan

Everyone here is high energy. Very focused on task at hand and getting you to your next level. I only dealt with Billy, but he knows his s@$%. Super knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable walking out of there, that his plan for my shoulder was going to work. It has helped my range of motion, already. No miracles here, but if you stick to what is recommended, I believe you'll have a stronger shoulder, knee, whatever.

Billy is an exceptional PT! Chronic pain is dreadful, and he gave me pointers that really helped with my pain. After just a few weeks of appointments and the exercises he recommended for home, I’ve already regained a lot of functioning I’ve slowly been losing over the years. Billy is friendly, warm, cheerful, and energetic; I’m comfortable trying new exercises and pushing myself, because I feel confident Billy is looking out for my health and safety. From the start, Billy has felt like an old friend; I’m really comfortable with him. He listens and responds to the feedback I give about what works and what doesn’t. He really considers my preferences and skills when making recommendations, and he has celebrated every success with me. Very encouraging! The best part for me is that he makes it fun! We can laugh and not take things too seriously, but I still see results. I’m definitely not a gifted athlete or body builder or something, but I never felt embarrassed to ask questions or intimidated by Billy’s knowledge and experience. He’s just so approachable. When I first started seeing Billy, I was having difficulty walking or laying or sitting or standing- doing anything- comfortably. Now, I feel like I’m back in action. Thanks, Billy!

If you have a physical therapy need, I highly recommend Billy McClenahan to help you "get back on your feet". I broke my ankle (tib/fib) at the end of December, 2014, and had extensive surgery to repair it (screws, plates plus almost two months of lying around at home). When I started seeing Billy around the end of February in 2015, I was pretty scared and wondering if I would even be able to walk (and run) normally again. I was also afraid that I was going to have to do a lot of painful boring and repetitive exercises to get back into shape. To my surprise, this wasn't the case at all. Billy and I started working together in PT around 3 times per week. Each time we met, Billy helped me with different exercises that I did with him and designed things I could do at home to help myself. As my ankle got better (and it happened more quickly than I expected), these exercises changed over time plus he had many different kinds of exercises to substitute if I didn't like one of them. He was great at answering all of my questions about what was happening inside my ankle and what was going on with all the crazy muscles that get affected when you do some traumatic injury to yourself. He showed me the X-rays of my ankle, and explained everything that was going on (and he did this a lot better than the surgeon and PAs that helped me!). He spent a great deal of time measuring the progress I was making toward walking properly, which really helped me. For example, when I had a "down" day, Billy reminded me about the things I hadn't been able to do in previous weeks that now I could do. He always kept a sense of humor and lightness and calm, which was a great antidote to my own anxiety and worry. Furthermore, he really knew the research behind the choices he made in my treatment and could explain that to me as well in layman's terms. With each passing week as I got stronger and stronger, I made fewer PT visits. In the summer of 2015, I was only seeing Billy a couple of times a month. He helped me get into a really good exercise program that built more strength for me. I haven't seen him since he moved to Bozeman in the fall and started his own practice but I think he would be pleased to know that it would be very hard to tell that I had broken my ankle so badly as now I am walking without a limp and am generally without pain and tightness in the ankle. Without Billy's professional and expert (and friendly and caring) PT help, I don't think I would be functioning as well as I am today. I can recommend him to you without any reservation whatsoever. Thank you, Billy, for helping me recover so well! Best wishes to you and all of your new patients. Sincerely, Darcy Bradley

Ive met alot of physical therapists but none of them have the energy and passion felt here at prime pt. Every time I went in there I got a full hour of undivided attention that was hard to find elsewhere. He pays attention to the individual needs of his clients and injuries and he even walks you out to your car afterwards.

Renea Tipton

I'm really impressed with Billy and his team. After seeing a chiropractor for months and not making much progress with a shoulder problem. I met with Billy and his team. After just one week I saw great improvement!!! I was amazed!! Highly recommend Prime Performance.

Jonathan VanDyk

Billy is bomb! I started going to Prime after suffering a compound fracture to my ankle while playing basketball. I had tried a different PT and wasn't pleased with their approach to rehab. Billy's enthusiasm and encouragement are unmatched. His methods of rehab and training set him apart from other PTs in the area. Billy and Prime got me stronger than before and back on the court. Even though I no longer need physical therapy, I still see Billy to supplement my own workouts.

Shawn Arnold

The team at Prime is so awesome! I can’t say enough about the service and the knowledge of Billy and his staff. I went in with pain and just couldn’t shake it. In no time Billy corrected my form and gave me some mobility exercises to help me further my goals. I’m getting better and stronger every day.

Brett Archer

Absolutely wonderful experience with Billy. He really breaks everything down in a way that is easy to understand what is going on with my body. I've been to other PT clinics in town and it always felt like I was just part of a herd. With Billy it is one on one and totally focused. I can't say enough good things about Prime. Absolutely wonderful.

Morgan Bryant

Great staff! Everyone is so nice and helpful! The machines are super nice and it helps you with being able to do workouts by yourself. Totally love this place!

Marco Huot

Billy knows how to make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. He's passionate about doing everything he can to get you back to doing what you love.

Charlie K

Prime is nothing short of exceptional for PT. Billy is one heck of a PT and I highly recommend for anyone needing to see someone for an athletic injury in Bozeman. He truly knows his stuff and understands what it takes to recover as an athlete. Every visit is one-on-one care which is really appreciated instead of doing exercises in a corner like other clinics I have been to. If you want to get better, and soon, Prime is your place.

Kate Holley

I had back and neck pain. A chiropractor said that he would help me for 5 grand up front and 4 visits a week for a year. Billy at Prime Performance has not only reasonable prices, but he also explains everything and gives exercises to make your body fix itself. Even better is that you then do said exercises at home or even at work with some! He can do manual therapy for muscles but he uses that in conjunction with other methods that help your body gradually work with itself instead of forcing it. This is the way to go! Highly recommend at least getting an opinion here before getting any surgery or any other sort of work done. My father in law was the one to recommend Prime to me. He went from being told he needed back surgery to being able to lift weight competitively just from the help he received from Billy at Prime!!!!! Wonderful place!!

Heather Kahler

Great personalized experience with fun, friendly professionals! And I feel better!

James Marozzo

Great people! Got my tennis elbow fixed up in no time at all!

Bill D'Arduini

Been going to PT for my knee to avoid surgery. So far the PT has helped tremendously. Hoping with continued work I will continue to improve and avoid any surgery. Billy and his staff are amazing people. Their extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to their job. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Courtney Krause

Billy is a breath of fresh air in the world of physical therapy! His enthusiasm for the profession and genuine care for all of his patients is apparent at every appointment. He has the gift of being able to connect with everyone regardless their age or physical abilities. Billy’s creative approach to treatment is tailored specifically to each individual’s needs and goals. Not only does his approach make PT fun, but it’s also very effective! Everyone leaves the clinic happier, healthier, and stronger!

Morgan Secor

I initially went too Prime because my dad had been going for a while and I only trusted Billy and the crew to take care of my pain and help me with my lifting! Highly recommend!

John McDonnell

Great atmosphere. Billy’s energy and approach are a breath of fresh air.

Julian Holland

Billy is the best PT I've ever had. Period. He doesn't rest until a problem is solved. I couldn't believe how fast he had me lifting (responsibly) again. Not only did Prime help heal my ankle, but they made me feel powerful again after a long period of being laid up. Finally, the atmosphere is family-like; all of the PT's and trainers treat you like you are their personal client the moment you walk in the door.

Jessie Knowles

I had a great experience at Prime. Billy really understood my priorities (as a CrossFit and lifting enthusiast) and zeroed right in on my issue. He had me fixed up and good as new in just a few visits, and I felt very comfortable the entire time I was there. Prime is my new go-to spot for any of my ailments!

Deby Salo

Billy is a wonderful Physical Therapist! He has helped me immensely in only four visits! I would highly recommend him as a Physical Therapist if you are looking for someone!

Heather Marcott

These people really care about their clients! You almost hope to hurt yourself so you can go back and hangout with this amazing knowledgeable staff. They get you on the mend and feeling better as fast as possible.

Chad Jacomet

One of the best PTs I've ever worked with! Bill is extremely knowledgable and sincerely cares about the well-being of his patients. Highly recommended!

Jeff Silverman

I recently started to have vertigo which was so debilitating that I could not enjoy waking up. They have given me back my life after figuring that I had cervical vertigo. Such sweet and dedicated people. God bless them all.

Ash Stone

Billy is one of the best PT I have ever seen. We are privileged to have him in a place like Bozeman. He does a great job at explaining each step of the process, whether it be the diagnosis, exercises, or at home care. He has a great sense of humor which really took my mind off the pain I was experiencing when I first came in with my chronic shoulder pain. He created an exercise plan that fit into my hectic schedule. I never write reviews, but my experience was so exceptional I wanted others to know. Go see Billy! You won’t regret it.

Brandon Luft

These guys are great! Billy took the time to assess, test the idea and reassess until we figured out exactly what the problem was. He is incredible at diagnosis. On top of that - best gym in Bozeman - hands down. Thanks guys!

Meg Segal

professional, polite, and fun.

Lu LoCoco

Great place, good coaches, helped me fix my gymnast's ankles. Thanks a ton!

Joe Feathers

very motivated staff, Dr.Billy Mclenehan was able to get me moving the way I was pre injury/pre surgery. Highly recommended.

Seth Thomas

Billy and his staff are all knowledgeable, enthusiastic and genuine. They will go out of their way to help you achieve your fitness goals. The new facility is always clean, and you get welcomed every time you walk in the door. The equipment is state of the art and you cannot find it anywhere else in Bozeman. Highly recommend Prime Physio and Performance for your gym and PT needs.

Sarah Keller

Billy is an exceptional and genuinely caring PT who is really into problem solving and evidence based medicine. He always explains things and works hard to get to the bottom of what's going on. I first went to Prime Performance for a knee surgery, and since then they've helped resolve sports injuries, and addressed long-standing pain. It's great to know this team is there to help me stay strong and active!

Roger Avila

I am visiting from out of state. My sister does the bootcamp class with Haley. I dropped in on the class. Haley does an excellent job!! Top notch trainer!

Montana State Women’s Rugby

Billy and his staff have been incredibly generous with their time, energy, and guidance. This is the only place in the Bozeman area we trust sending our athletes for injury prevention, assessment and recovery.

Rory Berigan

Improvement in just one session! If you want results and the opportunity to work with a true professional, Prime Performance is the place to be!
