We are strongly positioned to outpace the competition with:
ApexNetwork Physical Therapy is the first physical therapy franchise offered on the market! The model works with our corporate clinics and it works as a franchise business. As we continue to grow and expand our corporate footprint, we opened our first franchise location in Wood River, Illinois, in 2009. Not long after, the franchising industry took notice of our growing concept and we were recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine every year since. We have proven the franchise model again and again in each of our franchise locations, and in various challenging markets, as a viable and profitable business model. Our continued passion and desire to reach more individuals helps fuel our growth as we continue to expand into new markets and embrace new opportunities.
2014 proved to be another landmark year. Not only did we begin offering hospital inpatient and outpatient physical, occupational, and speech therapy in Greenville, Illinois, but we also entered the southwest market of the U.S. with a franchise location in the state of New Mexico.
ApexNetwork Physical Therapy continues to expand our geographic footprint with now over 50 clinics in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri and New Mexico. As we continue to grow, our system enhancements and support to our owners continues to become more robust.
As ApexNetwork Physical Therapy continues to expand throughout the United State, we invite you to become part of our growing network.
Together we can be the best in rehabilitation.
