Our Story

Pintler Physical Therapy & Sports Rehab began as an idea while Dr. Mike Cline PT, DPT, was completing physical therapy school and working on his clinical rotations. At many levels, both as an active patient in therapy and as a growing provider in the field, Mike realized the profession often fostered a culture of complacency with a lack of enthusiasm and inspiration. Therapists were often world-weary and struggled to find joy in their craft. Mike began to visualize an idealistic clinic that encouraged the type of atmosphere where patients would genuinely thrive. Mike wanted to establish a clinic with a team possessing the desire to elevate their craft beyond mediocrity and provide a physical therapy service unlike anywhere else.

Mike’s family has strong ties to the Anaconda, Montana area going back to when both of his grandfathers worked on the historic smelter. His vision flourished further from the recognition that the Anaconda-Deer Lodge valley would benefit from a facility that emphasized direct, patient-centered care. As a community, it became apparent the physical therapy services in the area was not sufficient. Mike felt it would greatly benefit the community if he could replicate this type of facility in Anaconda and Butte.

Pintler Physical Therapy & Sports Rehab strives to offer a dedicated, detail-oriented, patient-centered treatment service that empowers patients. In the modern physical therapy arena, it is not enough to work FOR your patients. At Pintler Physical Therapy & Sports Rehab, we work with our patients to achieve real change in their health, wellness and quality of life.

Although he grew up in a military family, Mike’s family is originally from Anaconda. He attended Montana State University in Bozeman where he earned his bachelor’s degree in health and human performance in 2009. Mike went on to earn his doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Findlay in Ohio. His collegiate career began with a baseball scholarship that was cut short by injury, which played a role in his interest in physical therapy. To this day, Mike has an interest in the rehabilitation of throwing athletes and the prevention of overuse injuries, especially those in adolescent and teenage athletes. He recently completed a Fellowship through the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy. Other treatment interests of Mike’s are vestibular and post-concussion rehabilitation, headaches and chronic pain syndromes. An avid outdoorsman, in his spare time he can usually be found bow hunting, floating, fly fishing or just hiking and exploring the mountains with his wife, Sara, son, Liam, and dog, Ruger.
