The people behind TheraXPro
Built by clinicians
for clinicians.
We started as students looking for a better way to help our patients. That purpose still shapes everything we build.
Get to know our story
It started in PT school
Two students.
A camera.
A reason to build.
During physical therapy school, Jeff Sass and Jonathan Adams filmed exercises in their own homes and used Google Translate to help communicate with patients in pro bono clinics.
They saw how cost, language, and access to clear instructions could get in the way of care. They wanted practical tools that could help clinicians bridge those gaps.
That student project grew into TheraXPro, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit bringing clinical education, patient programs, and rehabilitation tools together.
The tools have grown. The reason behind them hasn’t: help you turn what you know into care that makes a difference.

Co-founder · Physical therapist
Jonathan Adams
PT, DPT
Before becoming a physical therapist, Jonathan served as an Air Force pilot. His path into rehabilitation gave him another way to serve—and a firsthand view of the barriers patients face.
While studying at Thomas Jefferson University, he helped start TheraXPro to make useful clinical tools easier to access. His experience in outpatient physical therapy continues to inform that work.

He went on to earn his Doctor of Physical Therapy at Thomas Jefferson University. His background in neurological rehabilitation and education brings a practical perspective to TheraXPro’s tools and learning resources.
Technology & education
Derek Munday
Part of the TheraXPro story
Derek brought software engineering, AI research, and teaching experience to TheraXPro’s development, helping connect clinical ideas with digital tools.
