Fyzical Nears 600 Locations Amid Physical Therapy Franchise Growth
Fyzical Therapy & Balance Centers has significantly expanded its footprint in the past six months, driven by a spate of new franchise deals
When it comes to physical therapy, Fyzical Therapy & Balance Centers has proved to be the fastest-growing franchise brand in the nation.
Founded in 2012, Fyzical has nearly 600 locations in 46 states nationwide. In just the past six months, the personalized physical therapy brand says it’s opened 44 new locations and signed 32 franchise deals that will lead to 46 additional locations.
Fyzical is a therapy provider offering assistance with orthopedic, neurologic, and geriatric disorders. Instead of providing just physical therapy, the brand prioritizes improving total quality of life for its clients and creating a custom care plan for each individual. Plans can include manual therapy, balance therapy, and neurological rehabilitation.
When a client joins a Fyzical location, they’re first evaluated by a Fyzical therapist to determine the root cause of their pain and discomfort before being set on a treatment plan. One of the brand’s evaluation techniques involves the use of the its trademarked BodyQ scale, an integrated testing program focused on preventative care.
Once evaluated, clients can receive personalized assistance and treatment for issues like dizziness, balance and walking problems, and pelvic floor disorders. Fyzical also offers general fitness and wellness programs to help improve strength, endurance, weight loss, and mobility.
When it comes to opening up new locations, Fyzical is focused on community-building, a passion shared by one of its newest franchise owners, former NBA player Greg Monroe.
Monroe, drafted by the Detroit Pistons in 2010, was motivated to join the physical therapy world after his retirement by the team’s trainer, Arnie Kander. Now, he looks forward to bringing the life-altering treatment to those in his community.
“After my NBA career, I explored new entrepreneurship opportunities, and Fyzical’s franchise model aligned perfectly with my goals,” said Monroe. “I’m thrilled to introduce three Fyzical locations to my hometown of New Orleans and forge meaningful connections within the local community.”
Along with rapidly increasing its number of locations, Fyzical has received several awards this year, including Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list.
The brand continues to search for additional franchisees in multiple cities throughout the U.S.
Fyzical’s growth comes as fitness and wellness franchises continue to expand at impressive rates, including traditional big-box gyms, anti-aging franchises and franchises that offer GLP-1 weight-loss drugs.
