Dr. Brūs Layson did his undergraduate work at Carroll College in Helena, MT graduating with a bachelor's of arts in Health Sciences with minors in Psychology and Community Health. He then went to graduate school in Pomona, CA at the Western University of Health Sciences, receiving his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. He has spent his career chasing knowledge and education, becoming credentialed in multiple schools of thought and going through fellowship training receiving his FAAOMPT designation.

Dr. Layson treats a wide variety of conditions in the clinic from sports injuries, post-surgical cases, chronic pain, jaw/fascial pain, headaches, fall prevention, pre/post amputation, neurological conditions, and vestibular rehabilitation. He believes thinking outside the box for patients is essential and that taking just one approach to solve a problem is not sufficient in providing the best quality of care.

He is the owner of Advocate Physical Therapy located in Helena, MT. His inspiration in starting Advocate was to create a clinic that not only provides high quality patient care, but also a clinic that supports both physical therapists to having longer, enjoyable, and more sustainable careers. Currently, he serves as a state delegate for the Montana American Physical Therapy Association; representing Montana physical therapists across the state at the national level; and is also involved in local advocacy to promote the profession of physical therapy and improving access to healthcare. He works to inspire the next generation - presenting at local high schools and colleges; in those becoming a physical therapist - and inviting them into the clinic to provide job-shadowing, mentorship, and intern hours. Advocate PT also takes PT doctoral students during clinical rotations and also PT fellows in training looking to receive mentorship hours as well. He also teaches nationally with Torrentia, providing his expertise and knowledge in vestibular rehab, a passion he has since so many healthcare providers lack knowledge in this speciality, and the desire to increase awareness of these conditions and their treatment.

If he's not in the clinic or on the road teaching, he'll be spending time with his family or hunting/fishing in Montana where he calls home.
