Block Sports Chiropractic and Physical Therapy

What Block Sports Chiropractic and Physical Therapy does

Block Sports Chiropractic and Physical Therapy is a privately held, multi-location outpatient healthcare practice founded in 1993 by Dr. Jeffrey Block in Smithtown, New York, and co-led with Richard Block. The practice operates three offices across Long Island — Smithtown (flagship), Selden, and Massapequa — staffed by 15+ doctors and physical therapists and approximately 25 total employees. Its service offering combines sports chiropractic with physical therapy, delivered through specialized manual and modality-based techniques including Active Release Technique (ART), Graston, Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP), Cox Flexion-Distraction, Cold Laser therapy, and Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training.

The company serves a diverse patient mix spanning recreational and professional athletes, workers' compensation claimants, no-fault accident victims, the general public, and geriatric patients. Ancillary revenue is generated through retail sales of branded merchandise and Designs for Health supplements at clinic locations. The practice maintains official provider relationships with collegiate programs (Stony Brook University, LIU Post, Queens College) and the NYPD Triathlon Team, and previously served as the official chiropractic partner for the NY Cosmos (2014-2018). The Massapequa office is co-located with Hart Orthopedics, enabling integrated orthopedic and rehabilitation care delivery.

The business model is fee-for-service clinical care billed primarily through commercial insurance, workers' compensation, and no-fault auto insurance, supplemented by retail product sales. Patient acquisition is driven by a website, SEO, YouTube content marketing, and a branded mobile application (MyChiroTouch). The practice is privately held with no disclosed venture capital or private equity investment and operates exclusively on Long Island, NY.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ATI Physical Therapy: ATI Physical Therapy is a large U.S. outpatient physical therapy chain with hundreds of clinics. Comparable to Block Sports as a multi-site provider of musculoskeletal and sports-focused rehabilitation, though ATI operates at national scale and is far more diversified in services and payer contracts.
• Ivy Rehab Network: Ivy Rehab is a multi-state outpatient PT and pediatric therapy network with hundreds of clinics. Comparable to Block Sports as a multi-site outpatient rehabilitation provider serving athletic and orthopedic cases, though Ivy operates across multiple specialties (PT, OT, speech) and many geographies.
• Results Physiotherapy: Results Physiotherapy (now part of Upstream Rehabilitation) operates a network of outpatient PT clinics with a sports and orthopedic emphasis. Comparable to Block Sports in its hands-on manual therapy focus and athlete-oriented clinical model, though Results operates across the Southeast and broader U.S.
• NYU Langone Orthopedic Center / Rusk Rehabilitation: NYU Langone operates hospital-affiliated outpatient orthopedic and rehabilitation services in the New York metro area. Comparable to Block Sports in providing sports and orthopedic rehabilitation in the same Long Island / NYC market, though NYU Langone is a hospital-system incumbent with much broader clinical scope.

Direct peers

• The Joint Chiropractic: The Joint Chiropractic is a national chiropractic franchise operating walk-in spinal adjustment clinics. Comparable to Block Sports as a multi-location chiropractic brand targeting routine and wellness musculoskeletal care, though The Joint is a cash-pay franchise model rather than an insurance-billed integrated PT/chiro practice.
• Airrosti: Airrosti is a chiropractic and soft-tissue treatment group known for outcome-focused, hands-on musculoskeletal care delivered through a multi-clinic model. Comparable to Block Sports in its integrated manual-therapy approach and sports-injury focus, though Airrosti emphasizes a standardized treatment protocol across its clinics.
• Chiro One Wellness Centers: Chiro One operates a network of company-owned chiropractic clinics in the Midwest. Comparable to Block Sports as a multi-location chiropractic brand with integrated therapy and wellness services, though Chiro One is geographically concentrated in the Midwest rather than Long Island.

Regional players

• Phoenix Physical Therapy: Phoenix Physical Therapy is a multi-state outpatient PT provider with sports and orthopedic rehabilitation programs. Comparable to Block Sports as a multi-clinic outpatient rehab provider serving athletes and post-injury patients, though Phoenix is concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast rather than the Northeast.
• Professional Physical Therapy: Professional Physical Therapy is a multi-clinic outpatient PT and sports rehabilitation provider based in the Northeast U.S. Highly comparable to Block Sports in geography (Long Island / Tri-State area), sports-medicine orientation, and payer mix, and a direct regional competitor for athletic and orthopedic referrals.

Others

• WebPT / Net Health (enabling software): WebPT (now part of Net Health) provides EMR, practice management, and outcome-tracking software for outpatient PT and chiropractic clinics. Not a direct competitor but a key enabling technology provider — Block Sports uses the related MyChiroTouch platform — that defines the operational benchmarks any scaling multi-location chiro/PT practice must meet.
