Success Built on People

Our journey began in 1968 when Lee Shellman, PT founded North Idaho Physical Therapy, in Coeur d’Alene, ID.
Driven by the need to expand access to exceptional care, we have grown to multiple locations and offer a variety of services that address the holistic nature of the human experience.

We are fortunate to possess a deep understanding of “human performance” and are committed to using this expertise to benefit our customers.

“Our growth in size and services will never come at the cost of the small-town caring that defines us.”
— Justin Kane, PT, SCS, CEO Owner | Physical Therapist
