Speaker Information

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.
