History

Established in 2005.

Post graduation, owners Mike Rantissi PT, DPT, MOT, MTC and Jody Stafford, PT, DPT, MOT, MTC, CEAS, made the move to Nevada and decided to call Las Vegas their home. Each began practicing at various therapy clinics throughout the valley, while planning to open their own therapy clinic in the future. Their goal was obtained in Aug ’05, when Advanced Manual Therapy Institute was established in Henderson on Horizon Ridge, between Eastern & Sandy Ridge. In ’07, Advanced Manual Therapy Institute expanded, opening their second location in Summerlin, on the northwest corner of Buffalo & Washington.
