WASHINGTON (PRWEB)
September 07, 2022
FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers, the country’s fastest-growing physical therapy and balance concept, is growing in D.C. and Virginia. George and Nicole Leppert, an entrepreneurial duo who have franchised with OrangeTheory Fitness, European Wax Center and Massage Envy in previous years, have signed as area developers with FYZICAL.
“Since 2005, we’ve been entrepreneurs in the franchise world. During COVID, we were looking for other business opportunities in the area, and FYZICAL came across our desk,” George explained. “We’ve been thoroughly impressed with them as a company, what their mission is and what they stand for. We’re really excited about being part of that, and we think there’s a great business opportunity in the D.C. and northern Virginia area.”
They will start accepting patients at their first location near American University on Wednesday, September 7th at 4301 50th ST NW, Suite 100.
The Lepperts explained that FYZICAL’s approach and emphasis on wellness are what drew them in. For so long, healthcare has been reactive rather than proactive, and addressing the issue after a scare or injury has happened can be expensive, painful and frustrating. Embracing more of a preventative approach, like the one emphasized by FYZICAL, not only helps to stop injuries before they happen but is a draw for patients and insurance companies alike.
“As the population ages, physical therapy is becoming more and more of a preferred method of treatment,” George added. “Our continued growth will just be a force multiplier. The more locations that we have, the more people that we can serve.”
While the duo is excited to provide preventative care and expand its area of service over time, Nicole explained that she is also excited to take on a new role as well.
“Since 2005, we have always just been individual franchise owners. Even though we owned multiple units, it was just 10 individual franchise units, and an area developer supported us,” she said. “Sometimes, we were left wanting more from that relationship, so we’re excited to wear that hat and bring our skills, experience, talent and love for franchising to the table to help those unique franchisees and get them on board. It’s exciting to take on a new role within an industry that we’ve been a part of for so long.”
