FOUNDER OF PT180
Jill Thompson, the founder of PT180, has been practicing physical therapy since graduating from the University of Wisconsin: Lacrosse in l981. She has focused her post graduate education on manual therapy and functional orthopedics. She studied under Greg Johnson, PT with the Institute of Physical Art and was an instructor for the Institute for Functional Orthopedics and Back Education and Training from 1986-1992.
Jill has practiced in Boise since 1993, working with the staff at the Therapy Source before venturing on her own to create PT180 (then Jill Thompson Physical Therapy) in 2002. Her eclectic style combines manual therapy (hands-on osteopathic myofascial and joint mobilization treatment influenced by the Rolfing technique and Jones strain/counter strain technique) with neuromuscular re-education (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), Aston Patterning, and Feldenkrais). She has also received training in cranial/sacral treatment and TMJ (temporal-mandible joint) dysfunction.
Jill is no longer taking patients to focus on her health, but still involved in the life of PT180.
