CATALYST ORTHOPEDIC & SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY LLC

What CATALYST ORTHOPEDIC & SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY LLC does

Catalyst Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy LLC is a privately held, founder-owned physical therapy practice headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, with a secondary location in Fulton, MD. Founded and operated by Dr. Jason Nunn — a licensed physical therapist and certified strength and conditioning specialist — the practice employs approximately 5 people and specializes in orthopedic and sports injury rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain management for active adults, youth athletes, weekend warriors, and military, law enforcement, and first responder populations. Services include formal evaluations, evidence-based manual therapy (Graston, manual traction, cupping, blood flow restriction, myofascial release, muscle energy release, active release), custom supervised corrective exercise programs, and sport-specific assessments (TPI Golf, On Base University Baseball Hitting and Pitching).

The company's core technical offering is a collegiate/professional-level rehabilitation approach delivered in a clinic physically integrated with Chiseled Life Gym, a 24-hour training facility in Columbia, MD. This co-location enables progression from intensive physical therapy to post-rehab personal training. The firm generates revenue through multiple streams: in-network insurance billing across approximately ten major payers (United Healthcare, Johns Hopkins Health Care, BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, Tricare, VA, Workers' Compensation, auto claims), out-of-network insurance, and direct self-pay / cash-pay for individual sessions at $50–$125 per visit. It does not accept Medicare or Medicaid. Patient acquisition is driven primarily by orthopedic and sports medicine physician referrals, the company website, a complimentary 30-minute injury screening offer, and direct phone contact.

The business is structured as a Maryland LLC with no institutional investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding. Its GTM motion is direct-to-consumer with a referral overlay, and operating geography is limited to Maryland. No technology platform, app, or API is offered, and the practice is not digital-native.

• Results Physiotherapy: Specialty PT operator focused on orthopedic and manual therapy with strong sports rehabilitation credentials. Comparable service menu (manual therapy + corrective exercise) to Catalyst's positioning.
• FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers: Franchised PT network with clinics offering sports, orthopedic, and manual therapy services. Comparable independent-clinic positioning with brand and operational support that Catalyst lacks as a standalone LLC.

Others

• MedStar Health Physical Therapy: Hospital-affiliated outpatient therapy provider in the Maryland region offering orthopedic and sports rehabilitation. Often preferred by surgeons for in-network referrals, creating direct competitive pressure on independent clinics like Catalyst.
