RehabAuthority Physical Therapy

What RehabAuthority Physical Therapy does

RehabAuthority Physical Therapy is an outpatient physical therapy sub-brand operating within the Physical Rehabilitation Network (PRN), a privately held, California-based LLC founded in 1991. PRN operates a "brand of brands" platform supporting more than 270 clinics across 16 states under 20+ locally-recognized brand names, including RehabAuthority, Vista Physical Therapy, California Rehabilitation and Sports Therapy, Spine & Sport Physical Therapy, and Kelly Hawkins Physical Therapy. The network employs more than 3,000 team members, of whom approximately 1,700+ are clinical professionals, and is headquartered at PRN's corporate office in Frisco, Texas.

The business delivers standard outpatient physical therapy modalities, including manual therapy, exercise programs, and physical agents such as heat, ice, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation, alongside specialty services in workers' compensation rehabilitation, sports medicine, senior rehabilitation, and pre/post-surgical care. Clinical operations are supported by AI-assisted documentation tooling and a "Phased Progression" aquatic therapy methodology. Patient acquisition is direct-to-consumer through local clinics, supplemented by insurance network participation (Medicare, Medicare Advantage, commercial plans, Tricare, workers' compensation), referral partnerships with health systems such as MemorialCare under joint venture arrangements, employer worksite health contracts, and ACO value-based care arrangements.

PRN generates revenue primarily on a fee-for-service basis through insurance billing, with secondary cash-pay pricing at some locations ($125 initial evaluation, $85 follow-up). Growth is funded internally through operating cash flow and executed via a combination of de novo clinic openings, joint ventures with nonprofit health systems, and tuck-in acquisitions of independent practices (e.g., the 2023 acquisition of six SpineZone clinics by Spine & Sport). The company maintains a 4.8/5.0 patient rating across 18,000 reviews and has received multiple workplace and industry awards, including Newsweek's 2025 America's Greatest Workplaces for Midsize Companies.
