Jim Prussack, MPT, MMT is a licensed physical therapist in the state of California.
He received his Master of Physical Therapy
Degree from Emory University, Atlanta, GA
in 1998. He continued his education in
2001, receiving a Master of Manual
Therapy Degree from Curtin University,
Perth, Australia. Jim founded In-Home
Therapy Services in 2005 and has been
providing outpatient therapy services to
seniors in the home environment since that
time. He started his practice out of
frustration in being able to effectively treat
the senior population in a fast paced
outpatient clinic setting. He has since
realized the home environment is the most
rewarding setting for both the geriatric
patient and the therapist.
Jim has expanded his Medicare Part B
practice in San Diego to include over 15
physical, speech, and occupational
therapists. He has also focused his time on
successfully assisting many therapists
throughout the United States in starting
and running their own in-home therapy
practices. Jim is an active member of the
APTA and Section on Geriatrics.
