Our vision is clear

Our vision is to grow the ApexNetwork Physical Therapy brand and to provide the highest quality rehabilitation services. We will exceed customer expectations in a relaxing and upscale environment in every community we enter across the United States.
A solid history and a bright future; 15 years of being the best in rehabilitation
From humble beginnings in a small clinic in Highland, Illinois, ApexNetwork began growing slowly and steadily. Within a few years of opening, we opened a Certified Hand Center in Edwardsville, Illinois and a second full-service therapy location in Effingham, Illinois. As time passed, we continued to work hard; focusing on client outcomes, paying attention to the details, and building strong relationships. Using these foundational principles we soon found ourselves operating 10 facilities. In 2005, we experienced our first out-of-state location and opened in Springfield, Missouri. Although, this location was remote from our other facilities, we rolled up our sleeves and found success in building the business.
Little did we know that we would become the first physical therapy franchise offered on the market! We knew the model worked with our corporate clinics and were confident that it would work as a franchise business. As we continued to grow and expand our corporate footprint, we opened our first franchise location in Wood River, Illinois, in 2009.
ApexNetwork is now more than 30 clinics strong and we invite you to become part of our growing network. Together we can be the best in rehabilitation.
Committed to our communities; we get involved locally and nationally
At ApexNetwork Physical Therapy, we are committed to the communities we serve. That is why we encourage our clinics to support and provide community outreach to local schools, sports teams, and other community organizations.
In addition to the community outreach of our local clinics, ApexNetwork franchises support a growing list of national organizations including Operation Homefront, Toys-for-Tots, Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF), and co-sponsor an annual cross-country motorcycle ride to raise funds for the Wounded Warrior Project.
Our Experience is Your Advantage
Rehabilitation is one of the fastest growing, most exciting and most rewarding fields in today’s business world. With any business, there are challenges that demand a great deal of time, effort and experience.
We know, because we’ve been in your shoes. We know what works – and what doesn’t. Our goal is to create successful franchisees and a recognizable brand. To do that, we’re seeking individuals who want to fulfill their dream of owning and operating their own company.
Unlike other national physical therapy partnerships, you have three ownership options to choose from:
As a franchise owner, you will be able to leverage our experience and proven systems and processes, including but not limited to:
With that comes the ability to make your own business decisions. We are here to support your business, not to run it. Every aspect is designed to help you run a more efficient practice and deliver the best quality of care to your patients. And that is the real bottom line.
We are with you for the long haul
ApexNetwork's Management Training is designed exclusively for our franchisees and is a comprehensive program that covers the aspects of our successful business model including: marketing and business development, front office operations, billing and collection efficiencies, clinical procedures and facilities management.
Our training program also gives us an opportunity to share our knowledge and experience. And because we have a vested interest in your success; we offer the tools to help you grow your business and provide ongoing support. In other words, you will not be alone.
Just look at a few of the benefits that you will receive!
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
