The support system for clinic owners who rejected franchise consolidation. Your brand. Your protocols. Your equity. We handle the rest.
The Alternative
Franchise consolidators have already pitched you. Here's what they didn't put in the deck.
| FYZICAL / PT Solutions / ATI | Polygon PT Partnership | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee structure | 7–10% royalty + 2% marketing + $50–75K upfront | 4% revenue share + $2.5K/mo support |
| Clinical autonomy | Standardized protocols. Their way or no way. | 100% preserved. Your protocols, always. |
| Your brand | Rebrand to corporate. Local identity gone. | Keep your name. Build your legacy. |
| Fee transparency | Custom deals. Hidden costs. Negotiation games. | Published rates. No surprises. |
| Therapist retention | Treated as a cost center. Industry average 25–40% turnover. | Primary success metric. <12% turnover. |
| Owner work-life balance | Growth pressure. Weekly scaling targets. | Sustainable practice on your terms. |
10-year savings vs. franchise. A typical FYZICAL franchise costs $715K in fees over 10 years (upfront + ongoing royalties). A Polygon partnership costs ~$240K. That's $475K staying in your pocket — or reinvested in your clinic, your team, your equity.
Fee Transparency
Every competitor uses custom pricing to maximize extraction. We publish ours because we have nothing to hide.
Figures reflect median performance across Polygon PT's existing clinic portfolio. Individual results depend on market, staffing, and payer mix. Full financial model shared during discovery call.
Therapist Retention
Every other consolidator treats therapist turnover as a line item. We treat it as the most important number in the business.
We've built recruiting relationships with bilingual PT programs and therapist networks. Spanish-speaking clinicians are scarce and retention-critical in the Texas market.
Therapists stay where they grow. We support CE, specialized training, and clear career progression paths that corporate networks can't offer.
One-on-one care with no productivity quotas. Therapists join Polygon clinics because they want to practice real PT, not churn through 10 patients a day.
We track therapist satisfaction across the network and surface compensation data so your clinic stays competitive without guessing.
Admin Relief
Most clinic owners work 50+ hours a week. Half of that is admin. We've systematized every piece of it so you can get back to what you trained for.
That's what our partner clinic owners average per week. Not 50+ hours grinding through payroll, compliance, and billing disputes.
Why Polygon PT
The infrastructure that takes solo clinic owners years to build — available from Day 1.
No prescribed protocols, no corporate treatment quotas. You practice the way you were trained. Your clinic, your philosophy, your outcomes.
Tap into Polygon's established bilingual recruiting pipeline. Faster fills, lower agency fees, candidates pre-screened for one-on-one outpatient care.
Walk in Day 1 with access to 1,500+ active patients and 200+ referring physicians. The referral network took 7 clinics and 5 years to build. Yours immediately.
Keep your clinic name. Keep your local reputation. Keep your identity. Polygon supports from behind the scenes — we don't absorb you into a corporate brand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Ask on the form below.
Franchises sell you a brand and a protocol — and charge you for it indefinitely. FYZICAL requires $50–75K upfront plus 7–10% royalty plus a 2% marketing fund. PT Solutions and ATI pursue full acquisition. You lose your name, your protocols, and your independence.
With Polygon, you stay independent. You own the clinic entity outright. You practice your way clinically. We take 4% revenue share + $2.5K/month in exchange for billing, marketing, recruiting, and physician network access. No territory fees. No brand compliance police. No corporate protocols forced on your patients.
Over 10 years: franchises cost ~$715K in fees. Polygon costs ~$240K. $475K difference.

No. Most of our partners are experienced clinicians who have never owned a business. That's the point of the partnership — we've built the operational playbook across 7 clinics so you don't have to reinvent anything.
What we do look for: 5+ years of outpatient PT experience, strong patient relationships, and the drive to build something of your own. Business skills can be learned; great clinical instincts and a work ethic can't.
