Meet JD Large, PT, DPT, LMT ✨

My PT journey began after experiencing several orthopedic injuries as a high school athlete. I had always been interested in movement, strength training, and athletic performance, but I also saw how much positivity physical therapists can bring into their patients’ lives. I became a personal trainer at 18, then went on to complete a six-month strength and conditioning internship at the University of Wisconsin before graduating with honors from Western Carolina University in 2011. In 2012, I obtained my massage therapy license so I could work and live around ski areas before moving on to my ultimate goal of becoming a physical therapist.

In 2016, I was accepted into the University of Montana physical therapy program and graduated in 2019. Since graduating, I have worked in several different settings with a broad range of patients, from professional athletes to children with neurodegenerative disorders. My treatment philosophy blends the strengths of my backgrounds in exercise prescription and manual therapy. I see myself as a facilitator in each patient’s healing journey and strive to empower every patient to reach their goals.

Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible with my dog, Jocko. I also enjoy skiing, mountain biking, playing music, gardening, and improving my home. I love Missoula and all that it has to offer, and I’m excited to be a part of Range PT.

Meet Maddie Davis, Physical Therapist Aide ✨
“I am a Montana native and have been in Missoula since 2023, when I began college. I have loved living here, especially immersing myself within the Missoula community - everyone here is so kind! I am currently studying English at the University of Montana and plan to teach middle school and/or high school English in the future.

I played softball throughout my childhood until the end of high school and was in physical therapy during my senior year. During that time, I was able to see the immense impact that physical therapy has on a lifestyle, and it really inspired me to learn more about being my strongest and healthiest self, as well as making it a true priority. In my free time, I love reading, hanging out with my pet rabbit, Bunners, and laughing with friends and family!”

APTA Montana Member Spotlight
Maddie Leininger, PT, DPT

Why PT? (What drew you to the profession?)

I have wanted to be a physical therapist since I was in middle school. From a young age, my mom brought us to a physical therapist, so I grew up around the profession and saw the positive impact it had on our family, keeping us active, healthy, and involved in sports. I continued to job shadow and explore other healthcare opportunities throughout high school and college, but I always found my way back to PT. It is where my passion has always been!

What keeps you involved?

As a clinician and small business owner, I see firsthand the impact that advocacy has on our profession, our providers, and our community. Change happens one voice and one action at a time. We are fortunate to have strong APTA Montana leaders and opportunities to stay informed, advocate, and remain connected to the issues affecting healthcare and physical therapy in our state.

Favorite Part of the Job:

It is truly amazing to be part of people's movement, health, and wellness journeys and to watch them meet their goals. We are fortunate to spend one-on-one time with our patients, which allows us to really get to know them, their lives, their activities, and what matters most. It is powerful to see how the practice of movement as medicine can change lives. At Range PT, our slogan is "Expand your Range, Enhance your Life," and this captures the best part of the job when those moments unfold.

Words of Wisdom for New Grads or Students:

While you are a student, take every opportunity you can to try new things. Learning what you enjoy and what you do not is just as important and helps shape the kind of provider you will become. For new grads, find a mentor, ask questions, and keep investing in on-the-job learning to strengthen your skills and build a strong foundation for your career.

Fun Fact:

My sisters and I are all named after bodies of water in Montana (Madison, Seeley, and Holland).

meet Sarah Menhennett, PT, DPT, SCS, OCS ✨

I earned my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2015 and completed the Gundersen Sports Physical Therapy Residency with advanced manual therapy training. During my residency, I served as adjunct faculty at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse DPT Program and presented research on hip strength and running biomechanics at the APTA Combined Sections Meeting.

I am board-certified as both a Sports Clinical Specialist and an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, with additional training in Herman & Wallace Pelvic Function, CoreAlign, and Functional Dry Needling.

I treat a wide range of patients, including sports injuries and prevention, orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions, acute and chronic pain, pre- and post-operative rehab, back and neck pain, headaches, and pelvic/women’s health. My approach blends hands-on manual therapy, individualized exercise, and movement analysis, including running gait analysis, bike fitting, throwing assessments, and dry needling.

Outside of work, I enjoy competing in triathlons and exploring the outdoors—running, swimming, biking, and hiking in the mountains.
