SPRINGFIELD, MO, November 11, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Timothy W. Broadbent, MS, PT, has been recognized for achievement in business and music.

Mr. Broadbent's career is distinguished by a unique blend of clinical expertise, entrepreneurial spirit and musical passion. As owner, therapist, professional musician and composer/arranger at Broadbent Rehab LLC, doing business as Goodsax Music LLC, he manages daily patient scheduling and appointments, conducts therapy rounds across assisted and independent living facilities and leads individualized post-operative and fall-prevention treatment sessions. His clinical focus centers on fall prevention and post-operative rehabilitation for elderly patients, including those recovering from total hip replacements, total knee replacements and spinal fusions. Mr. Broadbent's specialty work encompasses overall strengthening, improving balance and proprioception and conducting environmental assessments of patients' living spaces to remove fall hazards. He also addresses the risks posed by household pets, engaging in thoughtful conversations with families about safety. By performing exercises alongside his patients rather than simply directing them, he builds trust and rapport, which have contributed directly to the growth of his practice.

In addition to his clinical work, Mr. Broadbent integrates music into his business model by performing complimentary monthly concerts for residents at the facilities where he provides therapy. These performances foster fellowship among residents while allowing him to introduce himself as both a musician and a therapist. He also composes, rehearses, and records original music during off-hours and hosts weekly band rehearsals at his home studio. With two self-produced albums released on Apple Music and Spotify, and a third near completion, this marks an achievement of nearly 100 original compositions recorded. Released under the artist name Timmy B, the albums are named Goodsax, Goodsax 2, and Goodsax 3. The combination of music and therapy stands as one of the most rewarding aspects of his career.

Prior to founding his own practice, Mr. Broadbent served as a physical therapist at CoxHealth for seven years. Initially aspiring to a career in outpatient sports medicine, he found that most of his caseload involved patients recovering from automobile-related injuries or covered by workers' compensation. Reflecting on his clinical rotations, he realized that working with geriatric patients was especially fulfilling, as they were motivated to preserve their mobility and independence. This realization led him to shift his focus to geriatrics, where he has remained ever since.

Earlier in his professional journey, Mr. Broadbent served in the 135th Army Band of the Missouri Army National Guard from 1988 to 1994. His service included participation in the band's secondary wartime mission during Desert Storm and memorable moments such as marching before President George H.W. Bush at the Marshfield Fourth of July parade. His military experience provided camaraderie and GI Bill benefits that helped support his education.

Mr. Broadbent's decision to become independent and establish his own company shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic stands as a defining achievement. After being let go by his previous employer amid staffing cuts, he spent five months on unemployment while researching how to secure Medicare credentials for his new LLC. He built his client base from the ground up, leveraging longstanding connections within the Springfield community. The business has since grown steadily through word of mouth, and he regards building the company as his crowning professional accomplishment. He is also a member of the American Physical Therapy Association, reflecting his commitment to advocacy and professional standards within his field.

Mr. Broadbent's academic path began at Drury University in Springfield, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in biology with a pre-med emphasis on a music scholarship in 1992. He was the first student from Drury University to be accepted into the Physical Therapy program at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, then the nation's top-ranked program, and he graduated with an M.S. in P.T. in 1994. His persistence and advocacy led to curricular changes at Drury University that benefited future students pursuing allied health professions. The foundation provided by his education has been instrumental in shaping both his clinical expertise and his approach to patient care.

He attributes his success to an upbringing steeped in music and education, encouragement from family, fellow veterans, support from his wife, Aja Medina-Broadbent, and faith in himself and God's plan for his life. These influences have guided him through career transitions and reinforced his dedication to serving others.

Beyond his professional responsibilities, Mr. Broadbent remains actively involved with several organizations. He is a member of Mortar Board, National Honor Society, Omicron Delta Kappa (leadership honors) 3 and Beta Beta Beta (Tri-Beta Biological Honor Society), honors dating back to his college years. For more than fifteen years, he has been a featured performer at the annual fundraiser benefiting the Boys and Girls Club hosted by the Springfield Sertoma Club, donating performances alongside his bands for events that support children in the community.

His creative achievements include receiving an honorable mention from the Unisong International Songwriting Contest in 2004 and winning the Top Jazz Composition Award for Song of the Year that same year. Earlier accolades include being named the first recipient of the Drury Jazz Award in 1992 and receiving the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award as part of the all-state jazz band upon graduating from high school in 1988.

Mr. Broadbent's personal life is deeply rooted in Springfield, where he was born and continues to reside. He enjoys performing with multiple weekend music projects, composing and recording original jazz and instrumental music, playing saxophone and keyboard, water skiing, slalom skiing, wakeboarding and fishing. A three-time Missouri State men's slalom ski champion, he remains active in these pursuits when possible.

Looking ahead, Mr. Broadbent hopes to continue doing more of exactly what he has done over recent years — balancing a thriving therapy practice with an active music career while making meaningful contributions to both fields.
