The physical therapy and rehabilitation sector continues to grow as healthcare providers expand into preventative care, balance therapy, pain management, and recovery services.
Franchise models in this space vary widely, from full-service outpatient clinics to specialized therapy and movement-based concepts.
To identify the strongest opportunities, we evaluated each brand across five equally weighted factors: investment efficiency (payback ratio), unit-level profitability, overall affordability, three-year network growth, and total operating scale.
Only franchises that disclose revenue were included in the ranking. Because several emerging brands currently operate a very small number of locations, their financial performance should be interpreted with caution. The result is a ranking focused on system stability, sustainable expansion, and the strongest available financial transparency in today’s physical therapy market.
