FDD-based analysis. Item-level data. No franchisor input.
FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers franchises physical rehabilitation centers that provide or arrange for physical therapy, medically-based wellness, pain management, balance and vestibular therapy, fall prevention, and sports rehabilitation, delivered by licensed physical therapists and other Licensed Professionals. A franchisee operates a single FYZICAL Center at an approved location under a ten-year franchise agreement, using the FYZICAL marks, systems, and proprietary methods. The franchisor, FYZICAL, LLC of Sarasota, Florida, began offering franchises in 2013. An owner secures a site within a search area, builds out or converts the center, and runs day-to-day operations; because physical therapy is a licensed profession, an owner who is not a Licensed Professional must employ a licensed Clinical Director or contract with a provider to deliver the regulated care. Centers open as a New Center, a Conversion of an existing therapy or wellness practice, or an MD Affiliate Center, and qualified franchisees may take multi-unit development rights.

Deal-Specific means the term is populated but you still have to model it against your own deal. Concern means the disclosed data is a real risk. The read is free. The reasoning behind it is the Pro read.

Zorzee editorial. Independent analysis. No franchisor review or approval. Not financial advice.
The filing tells you what Fyzical Therapy & Balance Centers costs to open. Pro adds the read on whether the numbers work for you, in your market, and whether this brand is a business or a job you bought.
Four months of research and more confused than when you started?
You've seen the filings and the numbers. What none of it tells you is whether this is a business that fits your money and your life. That is what fifteen minutes with a Zorzee-approved independent Franchise Consultant is for: whether this brand belongs on your shortlist, and what to validate before it does. Working with one costs you nothing and carries no obligation. Your franchise fee is the same whether you use one or not.
A Zorzee-approved Franchise Consultant never charges you. A franchisor pays the consultant a commission only if and when you decide to invest in a franchise they introduced you to. The analysis on this page earned nothing the moment you read it, no matter what you do next. That firewall is structural, not a promise: Zorzee's editorial earns no commission from franchise placements.
