U.S. Physical Therapy Acquires Majority Stake in PT Practice
U.S. Physical Therapy is expanding its footprint with a new majority stake acquisition in a physical therapy practice.

The Houston-based outpatient physical and occupational therapy company has picked up a majority stake in another physical therapy practice, continuing its strategy of growing through targeted acquisitions rather than building new clinics from scratch.
This kind of majority-stake deal is pretty standard in the PT industry's consolidation playbook. By buying a controlling interest rather than 100% outright, the company gets operational control while often allowing the original owners to retain some skin in the game — which can help keep staff and patient relationships intact during the transition.

Details on the size of the acquired practice, the purchase price, or the geographic location were not disclosed in the initial report. Continue reading at SeekingAlpha.
