About Phase III Therapy
Revolutionizing occupational therapy through innovation, empathy, and a commitment to reducing therapist burnout.
Our Story
Phase III Therapy was born from a simple observation: occupational therapists are burning out at alarming rates, not because they lack passion for their work, but because administrative burdens and inefficient workflows are stealing time away from what matters most—patient care.
Founded by a unique team combining military medical experience, cutting-edge engineering expertise, and frontline clinical knowledge, we set out to build something different. We're not just creating equipment; we're reimagining therapy workflows with innovative solutions that maximize efficiency and minimize burnout.
Our co-founders—Tyler Renken (former Army medic and CEO), Ethan Kessler (electrical engineering student and CTO), and Dr. Jess Renken (OTD from Methodist University)—bring diverse perspectives united by a single mission: empowering therapists to reclaim their time and passion while delivering exceptional patient outcomes.
From our partnerships with leading universities like Campbell and Methodist to our deployments with major therapy networks like BenchMark and Fyzical, every step of our journey has been guided by real-world feedback from the therapists and institutions we serve.
The Problem
Occupational therapists are burning out at an alarming rate. Studies show that over 60% of therapists report experiencing burnout, primarily driven by excessive administrative burdens, documentation overload, and inefficient workflows that steal precious time from patient care.
Insurance requirements demand more documentation than ever before. Therapists spend countless hours on paperwork instead of delivering the hands-on care they were trained to provide. The result? Exhausted practitioners, declining job satisfaction, and ultimately, compromised patient outcomes.
Existing therapy equipment hasn't evolved to address these modern challenges. Tools designed decades ago don't account for today's demanding workload or the time constraints therapists face. The industry desperately needs innovation that empowers therapists to work smarter, not harder.
Our Solution
The F.I.T. Kit (Functional Integration Therapy Kit) is our revolutionary answer to therapist burnout. It's not just equipment—it's a complete workflow reimagination designed to maximize efficiency while maintaining the quality of care therapists take pride in delivering.
By integrating multiple therapy functions into a single, streamlined system, the F.I.T. Kit eliminates redundant setup time, reduces equipment clutter, and enables therapists to seamlessly transition between different treatment modalities without breaking stride.
Our equipment features intuitive design elements informed by frontline therapists, automated documentation integration to cut paperwork time, and modular components that adapt to diverse patient needs—all while fitting comfortably in standard clinic spaces.
Key Benefits
- ✓Save 30% on setup time with integrated multi-function design
- ✓Reduce documentation burden with automated progress tracking
- ✓Improve patient outcomes through consistent, efficient therapy delivery
- ✓Enhance therapist satisfaction by reclaiming time for meaningful care
