Today we’d like to introduce you to Jason Moses PT, DPT, OCS, COMT, FAAOMPT.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I attended Burton Adventist Academy in Arlington, TX for elementary school and high school, then went on to graduate from Union Adventist University in Lincoln, NE. After college, I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy with honors from Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, CA. Upon graduation, I opened Summit Peak Physical Therapy and have been practicing in outpatient orthopedics since 2006.
I wanted to learn how to provide the best care for my patients, I pursued advanced education to improve my skills. In 2015, I earned board certification as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) through the American Physical Therapy Association. As I deepened my passion for orthopedic rehabilitation, I sought more specialized training. I applied to and was accepted into the prestigious North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy, completing my board certification as a Certified Orthopedic Manipulative Therapist (COMT) in 2016. In 2017, I completed a three-year Fellowship focused on differential diagnosis and treatment of the musculoskeletal system and was honored to be accepted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists (FAAOMPT). Additionally, I had the privilege of having my Fellowship case study, Evaluation and Treatment of Trigeminal Symptoms of Cervical Origin After a Motor-Vehicle Crash: A Case Report With 9-Month Follow-up, accepted for publication in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine in 2022.
I have been practicing orthopedic Physical Therapy for 19 years, and I truly love what I do. It’s an honor to be part of the medical team helping individuals return to their previous level of function. Being a Physical Therapist is a fulfilling and rewarding profession, as it allows me to work closely with patients and watch as they regain mobility, strength, and overall function.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I’ve been in private practice since 2006, and we are primarily a referral-based clinic. When referrals slow down, our patient census drops, which creates financial challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic was difficult for our clinic, and there was a moment when we came very close to shutting down. By the grace of God, we made it through that period and have continued providing Physical Therapy treatment to our patients. Being a small clinic comes with its challenges, especially when it comes to ensuring a steady stream of referrals. However, I take great pride in offering genuine, patient-centered care to everyone who comes in. We’ve been blessed by the loyalty of our patients, many of whom go back to their providers and share their positive experiences. A patient’s referral or kind words mean everything to me, and I strive to provide a level of care that ensures every patient leaves with a positive experience in Physical Therapy.
While expenses continue to rise, reimbursement rates have remained stagnant, or in some cases, have even been reduced. For example, one large, well-known insurance company is paying the same rate for Physical Therapy treatments today that they were paying when I first opened my practice in 2006. This ongoing issue with medical reimbursement is a significant challenge for small private practices in the Physical Therapy field. Despite that significant challenge, we remain committed to providing the best possible care for our patients, because it’s our responsibility, and we truly love what we do.
As you know, we’re big fans of Summit Peak Physical Therapy. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I have been practicing orthopedic Physical Therapy in the private practice sector since 2006, dedicating significant time to learning the assessment and treatment of movement dysfunction. I am committed to education as a Clinical Fellowship Instructor for post-graduate Fellows-in-Training and as a Clinical Instructor for Physical Therapy students in their final year before graduation. One of the keys to achieving effective patient outcomes is identifying not only what is wrong, but also what may have contributed to a particular movement dysfunction. Through my Fellowship and post-doctorate training, I apply a high level of clinical reasoning and tailored treatment strategies specific to each patient’s needs. When you come to me as a patient, you can expect expert care, a fun and welcoming environment where we get to know each other, and the opportunity to celebrate the fulfillment of your personal goals.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
Patients joke that PT stands for “physical torture,” but the truth is, Physical Therapy should never be painful in that way. Instead, we use a variety of treatment approaches designed to help you improve your musculoskeletal function. A thorough assessment—including your medical history, a focused examination, and a personalized plan of care—helps us create an effective treatment strategy tailored to your individual needs. In most cases, you have the freedom to choose where you receive your Physical Therapy care. While you may be referred to a specific clinic, you are able to request the Physical Therapist of your choice. I would be honored to provide you with exceptional care and support on your journey to recovery.
I met my wife in college and we both graduated from Union Adventist University. We’re also alumni of the same graduate school, Loma Linda University, where she earned her degree and is now a practicing Physician Assistant in Family Medicine. With 19 years of experience in medicine, she’s an exceptional provider. I may be biased, but scoring in the 99th percentile nationwide on her medical licensing boards is just one of her many remarkable accomplishments. We’re blessed with a daughter, soon to be in middle school, who is exceptionally talented in both theater and music. She loves playing the villain and has performed as Cruella De Vil in Disney’s 101 Dalmatians Kids and Ms. Hannigan in Annie Kids for her school’s theater productions. Additionally, she sings in the Greater Dallas Choral Society Children’s Chorus and was previously a member of the Arlington Children’s Chorus.
I am a devoted musician and avid cyclist. I’ve been playing the violin since third grade, and one of my most memorable moments was performing a solo during my proposal to my wife. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of participating in various auditioned music groups, including choral ensembles, gospel choirs, vocal jazz groups, symphonies, and a cappella jazz groups. Some of my most rewarding musical experiences include being a member of Paradigm Vocal Ensemble, Another Peace, In Unity, and serving as a backup vocalist for Larry Gee.
I have had the privilege of taking on leadership roles throughout my career and academic journey. During my three years in the Physical Therapy program, I served as President of my class, where I had the opportunity to guide and collaborate with my classmates, professors, and local businesses. I have served as a Board Member for both my alma mater, Burton Adventist Academy, and my church, Arlington SDA Church. Currently, I am honored to contribute to the growth and success of my college alma mater, Union Adventist University, as a member of its Board of Trustees, a position I have held since 2019.
