Physio Clinics

What Physio Clinics does

Physio Clinics SA is a privately held Swiss physiotherapy operator headquartered in Lausanne and founded in 2015, operating the largest network of physiotherapy centres in French-speaking Switzerland (Suisse romande). The group runs 24 centres across the cantons of Vaud, Valais, Fribourg, Geneva, and Neuchâtel, employing or partnering with more than 130 physiotherapists who deliver a broad clinical range spanning musculoskeletal rehabilitation, post-operative recovery, neurological, sports, paediatric, geriatric, uro-gynaecological, oncological, vestibular, and cardio-respiratory physiotherapy, plus home-visit services on medical prescription. The company reports approximately 11-50 direct employees, with the 130+ figure reflecting a wider network of affiliated physiotherapists and collaborators.

The service portfolio combines manual therapy, active rehabilitation, and technology-assisted modalities including Sensopro Luna Physio movement cages (Class 1 medical device under EU MDR), Tecar therapy, shockwave therapy, dry needling, manual lymphatic drainage, compressive cryotherapy, ultrasound therapy, and balneotherapy (heated 32°C pools at Collombey, Clarens, and Geneva Malagnou). Connected sports assessment using Kinvent/K-Invent sensors is deployed across at least nine centres, enabling objective measurement of strength, symmetry, range of motion, and power for return-to-sport protocols. The group also delivers group exercise programmes including the Active Backademy® certified back gym (developed by the Ligue suisse contre le rhumatisme) and Pilates.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-session physiotherapy billing, with mandatory Swiss basic health insurance (LAMal) and accident insurance covering prescribed sessions after deductible and 10% co-payment, and supplementary insurance or out-of-pocket payment covering non-prescribed services such as sports coaching, Kinvent assessments, and group classes (CHF 21-24 per session for Active Backademy®, CHF 250-280 per 10-session Gym du dos package). Distribution is direct via the owned centre network, an online booking platform (tBooking by Pharmed Solutions AG), and home-visit logistics, supported by physician referrals, sports-club partnerships (FC Sion Academy, BBC Monthey/Troistorrents, VBC Sion, FCFW Fribourg), event sponsorships (EFG Swiss Open Gstaad for nine consecutive years, Wake Up and Run in ten cities), public health conferences, and digital marketing (Google Ads, Meta Pixel, social media). The company is independently operated under CEO Laurent Modoux with no disclosed parent, institutional investor, or public listing.

Revenue model

1. Physiotherapy Session Fees: Core revenue from billable physiotherapy sessions delivered at 24 clinic locations and via home visits. Sessions are primarily covered by mandatory Swiss basic health insurance (LAMal) and accident insurance, with patients paying deductible and co-payment. Supplementary insurance may cover additional services. Some services (e.g., sports coaching, group exercise classes) are paid out-of-pocket.
2. Group Exercise Classes: Revenue from collective exercise programmes including gym du dos (Active Backademy® and Physio Clinics programmes), Pilates, and muscle strengthening classes. Billed per session (CHF 21–24 per session for Active Backademy®, CHF 250–280 for 10 sessions for Physio Clinics gym du dos) or quarterly, potentially partially covered by supplementary insurance.
3. Connected Sports Assessments: Revenue from technology-assisted sports assessments (K-Invent/Kinvent) lasting 45–60 minutes, providing objective measurements of strength, symmetry, range of motion, and power. These are charged as premium physiotherapy consultations.
4. Home Visit Services: Revenue from at-home physiotherapy visits for patients unable to travel, performed on medical prescription. Covered by LAMal insurance like standard clinic sessions.

Direct peers

• RehaClinic: Swiss rehabilitation group operating multiple inpatient and outpatient rehab clinics across German-speaking and French-speaking Switzerland. Comparable in offering multidisciplinary rehab, sports, and post-acute services in the same national market.
• Kinatex Sports Physio: Canadian sports physiotherapy network with a multi-clinic model focused on sports injury, return-to-play, and active rehab. Highly comparable operating model and clinical positioning to Physio Clinics' sports physiotherapy offering.
• Physiozentrum: Swiss physiotherapy chain with multiple centres offering outpatient PT, sports therapy, and manual therapy. Directly comparable to Physio Clinics in model, geography (Switzerland), and patient mix.

Broad incumbents

• Select Medical Holdings: US specialty care and rehab operator with outpatient rehab and PT clinics. Comparable in providing multidisciplinary rehab and sports/orthopedic services across a multi-site footprint.
• ATI Physical Therapy: Large US outpatient physical therapy chain offering orthopedic, sports, and workers' compensation services across hundreds of clinics. A scaled incumbent comparable in multi-site PT delivery, though operating in a different reimbursement system.
• Concentra Group Holdings: US operator of occupational health, PT, and outpatient care clinics. Comparable in delivering multi-site outpatient PT within an integrated clinical services platform, although focused on occupational/workers' compensation use cases.
• U.S. Physical Therapy: US operator of more than 600 outpatient PT clinics. Comparable in scale and clinic-roll-up strategy, though substantially larger and US-focused.
• Hirslanden: Switzerland's largest private hospital group. Comparable only partially — it provides hospital-based outpatient physiotherapy services within a broader acute-care portfolio, not a focused PT network.

Regional players

• MediClin: German operator of rehabilitation clinics and acute-care hospitals. Comparable in delivering multidisciplinary rehab, post-acute, and outpatient services, but serving a different (German-speaking) market.

Others

• Clinique La Prairie: Swiss luxury wellness and medical clinic that is already a partnership site for Physio Clinics (balneotherapy at Clarens). Relevant as a clinical partner and benchmark for premium-positioned Swiss health services rather than a direct competitor.
