Welcome to Butler Physical Therapy
Jennifer Butler - Owner / Physical Therapist
Jennifer was born in Seattle, Washington as the oldest of 4 girls. But that doesn’t mean she is a girly-girl. Her love of sports made up for the son that her father never had. She was a 3-sport letter winner in High School and continued to play both basketball and volleyball at the collegiate level. She attended the University of Mary in Bismarck, ND to earn her Bachelor’s Degree in Rehabilitative Care in 1998 and her Master’s Degree of Physical Therapy in 1999, both with honors. 1999 was an eventful year as she married her college sweetheart, Duster, that August. Their beautiful and intelligent daughter Mikayla was born in 2002 and their funny and athletic son Jayden was born in 2004. She moved to North Idaho in 2006 to enjoy the vast outdoor opportunities in the Idaho Panhandle.
Jennifer started Butler Physical Therapy as a side business in July of 2023. Then on February 29th, 2024 she opened her business full-time. She is taking new patients.

She has extensive lymphedema training in the German Vodder, Australian Casley-Smith, and the French Leduc treatment methods. She has a true heart for those that have battled or who are battling cancer. Jennifer is the best therapist in the area at addressing swelling. She is also able to measure and order compression garments for the arms, legs, and face. She is able to effectively treat most conditions and is amazing with her hands! She earned “Best Physical Therapist” in Spokane Valley in 2023. She is very dedicated to her patients and treats them like family.
Jennifer is very involved in her community. She attends Valley Real Life church with her family. Her and her husband are starting a weekly life-group through the church. She has coached youth sports since 2006 and has been a Girl Scout leader for 13 years. Her favorite family activities are hunting, hiking, boating, camping, paddle boarding and backpacking.
