U.S. Physical Therapy Acquires Majority Stake in PT Practice
U.S. Physical Therapy expands its clinic network by purchasing a controlling interest in a physical therapy practice.

The deal follows the Houston-based operator's established strategy of partnering with existing clinic owners rather than building locations from scratch, allowing it to absorb established patient volumes and experienced staff.
The acquisition adds to a portfolio that U.S. Physical Therapy has built through decades of similar partnerships across the country. By taking a majority — rather than full — ownership position, the company preserves an equity stake for the original practice owners, an incentive structure that has helped it attract independent operators looking for capital and corporate support without a complete exit.
