IFK Clinic Rehab

What IFK Clinic Rehab does

IFK Kliniken Rehab operates a multi-location physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic network in Gothenburg, Sweden, founded in 1998. The company delivers orthopedic and sports medicine rehabilitation, massage therapy, personal training, and nutrition counseling to three primary customer groups: elite athletes and professional sports teams (Frölunda HC, IFK Göteborg, Utsiktens BK, Swedish national teams across football, ice hockey, and gymnastics), the general public seeking sports-injury and musculoskeletal care, and healthcare professionals participating in its continuing education courses. A defining feature is its physical embedment inside elite sports venues — Prioritet Serneke Arena (Nordic's largest multisport arena, 45,300 m2), Frölundaborgs Isstadion (shared 600 m2 gym with Frölunda Indians), and GLTK tennis facilities — alongside co-located partners such as Nordic Wellness and Frölunda Orthopedics.

The clinic's clinical core rests on credentialed manual therapy expertise: staff hold OMT (Orthopedic Manual Therapy) Step 2 certifications, McKenzie Method (MDT) credentials, CSPT (Certified Sports Physiotherapist) designations, and include a docent in physiotherapy as well as former elite athletes such as Olympic/World/European medal-winning chiropractor Torbjörn Kornbakk. Operations Manager Anders Näs (trained physiotherapist with prior experience at Capio and Stratsys) oversees a team of over 25 staff across four Gothenburg sites.

Revenue derives from four streams: reimbursed physiotherapy consultations at 200 SEK per visit under a collaboration agreement with Västra Götalandsregionen (regional public healthcare authority, with free care for patients under 20 or over 85); private-pay massage sessions at 600-800 SEK; consultation plus personal training sessions at 950 SEK; and professional education courses priced at 5,200-5,700 SEK. Patients book appointments through the patient.nu online portal, by phone, or via walk-in at any of the four clinic locations (GLTK, Arena, Campus, and GOCO). The business is private, with no disclosed funding rounds, ownership structure, or revenue figures in the source data.
