What Results Physiotherapy does

Results Physiotherapy is a private, for-profit outpatient physical therapy provider headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, operating 140+ clinics across nine U.S. states (Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas). Founded in 1996 by Australian physical therapist Gary Cunningham alongside Olympic swimmer Tracy Caulkins, the company built its clinical identity around a hands-on, manual-based treatment methodology intended to deliver faster pain relief and more durable outcomes than the exercise-and-ultrasound standard of care prevalent in the U.S. market at the time. Core services include general musculoskeletal physical therapy, trigger-point dry needling, manual therapy, telehealth/virtual care, and specialty programs covering pelvic health and postpartum recovery (Beyond Birth), running injuries, motor vehicle accident rehabilitation, adolescent and pediatric injuries, and workers' compensation cases. Treatment is delivered by clinicians with above-industry credentialing: 75% of Results therapists hold the Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist (COMT) designation versus a national rate near 10%, supported by more than four times the required continuing education.

The business operates on a multi-channel revenue model. The majority of revenue is generated by fee-for-service physical therapy sessions billed to commercial insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, and workers' compensation carriers, with a smaller cash-pay stream for uninsured or out-of-network patients. Distribution is primarily direct-to-patient through the owned clinic network, augmented by physician referrals, healthcare system integrations (most notably a 55-location combined outpatient rehabilitation partnership with Ascension Saint Thomas across Middle Tennessee, and a primary care referral partnership with Avance Care in North Carolina's Triangle), and embedded service points at Kroger Little Clinic locations in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Southern Indiana. Patient acquisition is further supported by condition-specific SEO content, patient testimonials, and community screening events at fitness partners such as Iron Tribe Fitness. In 2021, Results was acquired by Upstream Rehabilitation, one of the largest U.S. operators of outpatient physical therapy clinics, and now operates as a subsidiary within the Upstream Rehab family of care.

Core offering

Results Physiotherapy delivers outpatient physical therapy and rehabilitation services at 140+ clinics across nine U.S. states, built around a hands-on manual therapy approach rather than exercise-and-hot-pack treatment. Core clinical offerings include manual therapy, trigger-point dry needling, telehealth/virtual care, pelvic health and postpartum (Beyond Birth) programs, running-injury treatment, and workers' compensation rehabilitation. Treatment is personalized for musculoskeletal conditions affecting the head, neck, shoulder, back, hip, knee, and foot/ankle, as well as post-surgical recovery.

Product overview

The company offers a unified service delivery model featuring manual-based physical therapy at clinics across 9 U.S. states (Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas). Core services include dry needling therapy, manual therapy, telehealth/virtual care, and specialized programs such as Beyond Birth (postpartum care) and Pelvic Health Specialty Clinics. Treatment spans conditions affecting the head, neck, shoulder, wrist/elbow, lower back, abdomen/pelvis, hip/knee, and foot/ankle, along with running injuries and workers' compensation services.

Direct peers

• ATI Physical Therapy: One of the largest US outpatient physical therapy operators with a comparable multi-state clinic footprint, similar insurance/workers' comp billing model, and overlapping orthopedic and manual therapy service offerings, making it the most direct competitor to Results.
• Ivy Rehab Network: PE-backed outpatient PT network with a similar multi-state de novo and partnership growth strategy, comparable specialty programs (pelvic health, pediatric, vestibular), and overlapping target patients in musculoskeletal and post-operative rehabilitation.
• Athletico Physical Therapy (Bamforth): National outpatient PT operator with comparable orthopedic, manual therapy, and workers' compensation service lines and a similar insurance-billed business model, competing in overlapping Southeast and Midwest markets.
• US Physical Therapy: Public operator of ~600 outpatient PT clinics across the US, with a clinic-partnership model that closely mirrors Results' model of partnering with local operators and clinicians while providing shared back-office services.

Broad incumbents

• Select Medical (Outpatient Division / Select Physical Therapy): Large publicly traded healthcare services company with a major outpatient PT division offering orthopedic, sports, and hand therapy across hundreds of clinics nationwide — a scaled incumbent competing in many of the same MSK conditions Results treats.

Emerging players

• Concentra (Select Medical): Operates occupational health and PT clinics embedded with employer and workers' compensation customers; competes directly for the work-injury and occupational rehab segment that Results serves through its Workers Comp program.

Others
