Tyler Corwin​
​DPT, Cert. SMT, Cert. DN, Diploma in Osteopractic

Specialized training includes: Spinal and extremity manipulation and mobilization, certification in dry needling, instrumented soft tissue mobilization, kinesiotaping, and vestibular care.  Special areas of interest include:  Headaches; vertigo/vestibular training; neck pain; and back pain.
 
Education:  After receiving a BA in Biology from the University of Montana, Tyler went on to complete his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from UM.  He has also completed a Diploma in Osteopractic* from the Spinal Manipulation Institute.

Hobbies:  As a native of Great Falls, I feel fortunate to enjoy all the Flathead has to offer, including: hiking, skiing, bow hunting, fly fishing, boating, and golfing.

Personal Statement:  As a physical therapist, there is no better reward than helping individuals get back to doing the things they love without pain. With experience as a collegiate athlete, and having gone through physical therapy following several orthopedic surgeries, I am fortunate enough to relate to the whole rehabilitation process and help clients reach their goals.
