PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - Aug 25, 2016) -  WebPT today announced the three finalists for the 2016 Ascend Practice of the Year Award: ProEx Physical Therapy, SPEAR Physical Therapy and Pivot Physical Therapy . The winner will be revealed at the annual Ascend summit, set to take place Sept. 9-10, 2016, in Fort Worth, Texas. This award honors rehab therapy private practices that demonstrated exemplary business achievements and success over the past year.

The Practice of the Year award is open to all private practice outpatient physical, occupational and/or speech therapy clinics with at least one clinic owner or staff member in attendance at the Ascend 2016 summit. Selection criteria are based on a practice's ability to demonstrate growth as well as its achievements in helping patients, promoting and maintaining company culture, participating in community outreach and contributing to the advancement of the rehab therapy industry.

"As a physical therapist and former director of a multi-site clinic, I know how challenging it can be to operate a practice and ensure you never miss a beat with patients," said Heidi Jannenga, the president and co-founder of WebPT. "It's inspiring to see the success fellow practitioners have achieved in their practices. These finalists have set themselves apart in terms of innovation and dedication to all of their stakeholders. From creating proprietary web applications to becoming adjunct professors to forming strategic industry partnerships that aid in employee development, they are paving the way for better patient care and wellness."
