The physical therapy industry, currently valued at $59 billion, is projected to reach $128 billion by 2032.
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, with the critical demand for non-opioid pain relief alternatives, it's easy to see why the need for physical therapy is sharply increasing.
