  • Read about America's top 5 Physical Therapy Franchises capitalizing on this incredible growth!

The physical therapy industry is $50.26 billion, projected to grow to $72.70 billion by 2029.

Physical Therapy is a highly fragmented market with no clear industry leader. Dominant industry players own less than 21% of the total market share combined.

Demand for physical therapy services is increasing exponentially: Americans have a growing desire to live active lifestyles, and the aging population is the largest generation in history - more than 10,000 people turn 65 daily! Plus the critical demand for non-opioid pain relief alternatives, it's easy to see why the need for physical therapy is sharply increasing.
