WebPT Honors Top Therapists at 2025 Ascend Awards

WebPT, a leader in the rehab therapy software industry, proudly announced the winners of the 2025 Ascend Awards, recognizing outstanding achievements in rehabilitation practices. At a recent webinar, Advocate Physical Therapy was awarded the title of Practice of the Year, while Tilton's Therapy was honored as Innovator of the Year. These awards underscore the dedication of both organizations to delivering exceptional patient care through innovative practices.

Advocate Physical Therapy: Setting the Standard

Advocate Physical Therapy, established in 2022, has rapidly transformed from a single treatment table to a successful practice employing eight providers and five administrative staff members. This impressive growth has not only led to strong financial performance but also a commitment to creating a thriving culture for both therapists and patients alike. With a profit margin of 20-25%, Advocate demonstrates prudent financial management while investing heavily in clinical development and community partnerships, which further strengthens its local presence.

Brus Layson, the CEO of Advocate Physical Therapy, shared insights on the practice's ethos: “Our team shows up for each other and for every patient who walks through our doors. This recognition reflects the effort of our entire staff and speaks to our commitment to providing exceptional care.” The practice's future plans include expanding its facilities and services, including a new technology clinic focused on advanced therapy techniques such as shockwave and class IV laser therapy. Advocate is also seeking approval for an orthopedic residency program and increasing involvement in legislative advocacy to support the physical therapy profession.

Tilton's Therapy: Innovations in Access and Care

Tilton's Therapy has redefined access to rehabilitation in Nevada with a groundbreaking mobile therapy model. This initiative operates statewide, bringing physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), and speech-language pathology (SLP) to patients in their homes, schools, and other community locations. By integrating behavioral health services and targeting underserved populations, Tilton's Therapy effectively addresses critical gaps in healthcare access in one of the nation’s most neglected states.

Under the leadership of CEO Casey Melvin, Tilton's Therapy has not only expanded service offerings but has also achieved its first operational profit following extensive community engagement and legislative advocacy. “Being recognized as Innovator of the Year is an incredible honor for our entire team,” Melvin stated. “We pride ourselves on reaching patients wherever they are, improving outcomes by ensuring our therapists feel supported.” Plans for continued development include enhancing data capture and outcome reporting, as well as initiating new caregiver-training programs and trauma-informed interventions for the communities that need them most.

Conclusion

The 2025 Ascend Awards remind us of the vital role that innovation and compassionate care play in rehabilitation therapy. Both Advocate Physical Therapy and Tilton's Therapy exemplify how commitment to operational excellence and patient-centered practices can lead to significant achievements in the healthcare landscape. As these organizations move forward with their ambitious plans, they demonstrate the importance of adaptation and advocacy in the ever-evolving field of rehabilitation therapy.
