Physical Therapy Clinical Partnerships

Clinical Partnership Opportunities for Physical Therapists

Opening a physical therapy clinic is one of the most rewarding steps a clinician can take - but it can also feel overwhelming. From regulations and real estate to payroll, marketing, and reimbursement, launching a practice requires far more than clinical excellence. That’s where PRN comes in.

With 270+ clinics across 16 states, we’ve built a proven partnership model that lets physical therapists step into ownership without taking on the operational burden alone.

Is the PRN Partnership Model Right for You?

Starting a PT clinic independently means juggling a long list of administrative and back-end responsibilities. Credentialing. Compliance. HR. Billing. Marketing. Payroll. Vendor management. By the time your day ends, there’s little energy left for the patients and practice you want to grow.

With PRN, we take on the heavy lifting so you can focus on what you do best: delivering exceptional patient care and building a thriving team. Our long-standing reputation as a Top Workplace reflects our commitment to people—clinicians, leaders, and patients. We use that same philosophy to support PTs who want to step into ownership with confidence. 

You may be a great fit if:

  • You want the autonomy and pride of clinic ownership—but want professional support to get started
  • You want a clear, proven business plan to avoid common startup mistakes
  • You want to grow at your pace, with a safety net behind you
  • You don’t want to spend your free time (or profits) figuring out marketing, HR, payroll, or insurance contracts

Our proven systems, real-world experience, and national brand strength make it easier to avoid costly missteps, compete with larger health systems, grow with confidence, and stay an independent owner with a partner you can rely on.
