Advanced Manual Therapy Institute named Outpatient Clinic of the Year 2025 in Las Vegas.
Advanced Manual Therapy Institute (AMT), a leading provider of outpatient physical and occupational therapy services in Southern Nevada, has been named “Outpatient Clinic of the Year 2025,” recognizing its longstanding commitment to hands-on, evidence-based care across the Las Vegas Valley.
Co-owned and operated by Dr. Michel Rantissi, DPT, MOT, MTC, and Dr. Jody Stafford, DPT, MOT, MTC, CEAS, Advanced Manual Therapy Institute is a therapist-founded practice that has grown steadily since opening its first location in 2005. Both Dr. Rantissi and Dr. Stafford are dual-trained, each holding a Masters of Occupational Therapy (MOT) and a Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, and both have earned advanced Manual Therapy Certification (MTC). This dual credentialing in both physical and occupational therapy allows the owners to lead a truly integrated, whole-person approach to rehabilitation that sets AMT apart from traditional single-discipline clinics.
“At Advanced Manual Therapy Institute, our mission has always been to provide high quality, advanced outpatient rehabilitation in a positive environment, using a manual approach and individualized personal treatment,” said Dr. Michel Rantissi. “Being recognized as Outpatient Clinic of the Year 2025 is a reflection of the dedication of our entire team to helping patients regain optimal function and quality of life.”
Dr. Jody Stafford added, “We go the extra mile, earning doctorates in physical therapy and masters in occupational therapy, along with specialized manual therapy certification, so our patients receive truly specialized care that addresses pain, mobility, and function from every angle.”
Teaching facility and internship site
Advanced Manual Therapy Institute also serves as a teaching facility, regularly hosting physical therapy and occupational therapy students for clinical internships. Under the direct mentorship of Dr. Rantissi, Dr. Stafford, and their doctoral-level staff, students gain hands-on experience in orthopaedic manual therapy, spine and extremity care, and functional rehabilitation in a high-volume, real-world outpatient setting. This educational role helps advance the profession locally while ensuring AMT stays at the forefront of contemporary clinical practice.
Innovative, custom-built documentation software
In addition to clinical excellence, Advanced Manual Therapy Institute has invested in technology tailored to its unique manual therapy model. AMT utilizes documentation software that was designed specifically for the practice to streamline clinical workflows, enhance accuracy in charting, and support close communication among therapists, physicians, and patients. This customized platform allows the owners to align documentation with best practices in manual therapy, complex orthopedic cases, and combined physical and occupational therapy plans of care.

“At AMT, our formula is simple: Positive environment + Positive attitude = Positive results,” said Dr. Rantissi. “This award reinforces that when you combine advanced training, a teaching culture, innovative systems, and a patient-first mindset, you can make a real difference in people’s lives.”
