Performance Health

What Performance Health does

Performance Health is a global consumer branded health, wellness, and self-care company that operates as North America's largest rehabilitation supplier, founded in 1950 (per company history) and headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois. The company distributes medical and rehabilitation equipment, clinical supplies, and therapeutic modalities to physical therapy clinics, rehabilitation centers, sports medicine facilities, occupational and hand therapy providers, home health agencies, the U.S. Veterans Administration, and fitness and athletics organizations across six countries: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Greece, and Australia.

The product portfolio spans owned heritage brands (THERABAND resistance bands, Sammons Preston, Rolyan splinting, Cramer sports medicine, CUBII seated ellipticals, Homecraft, Days, Jamar, Bon Vital) alongside distributed third-party brands (Kinesio, RockTape, KT Tape). The portfolio is organized across capital equipment (cardio, strength training, treatment furniture), consumable clinic supplies (resistance bands, tape, wound care, topical treatments, electrodes), therapeutic modalities (electrotherapy, ultrasound, hydrotherapy), and specialized categories (hand therapy, pelvic health, pediatric therapy, lymphedema, fall prevention, mobility). Underlying technical capabilities include patented CHRISOFIX splinting technology, color-coded THERABAND resistance bands with engineered progression levels, and a nationwide network of certified technicians providing equipment installation, repair, and annual calibration services that help facilities meet CMS requirements. The company is privately held with disclosed institutional backing from Madison Dearborn Partners, Martis Capital, and WP Global Partners across multiple funding rounds.

Performance Health generates revenue through a hybrid B2B distribution model combining an e-commerce storefront with field sales representatives, inside sales teams, and dedicated direct-to-veteran delivery services operating under VA contracts (V797D-50487 and 36F79719D0002). Business account customers can access pricing up to 25% off standard pricing, with quote-based enterprise ordering and dedicated phone/fax channels. Revenue mixes one-time capital equipment sales (treatment tables, cardio, strength equipment) with recurring consumable supply purchases (resistance bands, tape, electrodes, gloves, topical treatments) and professional services revenue from equipment installation, repair, and calibration. The company employs 501–1,000 people across its global offices, with sales coverage extending into Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia.
