Why Join FYZICAL?
How do I start a clinic with FYZICAL?
FYZICAL makes starting your own physical therapy clinic as easy as possible. We’ve been the #1 Physical Therapy Franchise since 2013 and have developed a simple seven step system to get you up and running within six months! After meeting with your FYZICAL advisor to decide that this is the right opportunity, you will sign your franchise agreement and your Franchise Disclosure Document then you’ll be introduced to the Operations team who will work with you and guide you through the following process:
How do I choose a location for my new clinic?
Before you sign your agreement, you will work with our development team to secure a territory that is exclusively yours. Once you’ve selected the area you plan to develop, our real-estate and development team will provide location selection support and guidance and help with lease review and negotiation.
What goes into the cost of starting a clinic?
Your total investment will be between $195,750 - $509,000*. What’s great about a franchise model is that your costs are predictable, and our estimate is all-inclusive – it includes everything from your initial franchise fee to clinic build-out and improvements, furniture, fixtures, equipment, and more.

*Note: If you are a licensed physical therapist and plan to treat in the clinic, your costs as shown above will be reduced by $50k - $100k
Should I franchise or do it on my own?
Franchising with FYZICAL doesn’t mean you give up your independent owner status, or your decision-making freedoms, or your creative license. In fact, we empower our owners to make their practice uniquely theirs. Why? Because we know that what makes a PT stand out to patients is the uniqueness each owner brings to their community. Our franchise model isn’t like any other franchise out there, and that’s by design!
At FYZICAL, you are the independent owner that you want to be – making your own decisions, designing your clinic, choosing your location, deciding what services your clinic will provide. One of the primary benefits of partnering with a franchise like FYZICAL is that you have access to an entire team to help you, so you don’t have to do it alone.

How much space is needed and how do I design it?
When it comes to clinic design, our team can’t be beat! Our internal design and marketing team will work with you and a team of design experts to create a beautiful, bright, welcoming, professional physical therapy space that fits within the FYZICAL brand guidelines.
Our team recommends that your clinic be between 2000-3000 square feet. A 2000 sq. foot space gives you enough room to grow without feeling cramped and crowded. Many of our PTs who have started with smaller clinics find they outgrow their space too quickly. A 2000 sq ft clinic allows you to accommodate approximately 6 clinicians. Our development team likes to advise that every 500 sq ft will account for approximately two clinicians.
How long is initial training?
Four weeks total, including classroom instruction, immersive lab, on-site support, and online learning.
Who will I hire?
You’ll begin by hiring a DPT – Doctor of Physical Therapy and after this initial hire you’ll add additional PTs or PT Assistants, as needed, based on your patient demand. In most centers, no additional administrative personnel are required because your existing team can easily take on the responsibilities of phones and scheduling. Notably, if you have an off-site location, you will want to have staff to cover the responsibilities of greeting guests and answering phones.
