Franchisee employs innovative marketing strategies to boost clinic visits significantly.

Juan Ferrer Garay, a franchisee of FYZICAL, opened a clinic in Wilson, N.C. and successfully leveraged the brand's Marketing Suite to increase patient visits to 750 per month within six months. He plans to expand to six clinics, demonstrating the effectiveness of FYZICAL's marketing support in driving growth.
The rapid growth achieved through the Marketing Suite may signal to other franchisees the importance of leveraging marketing tools for enhanced unit economics and patient demand, indicating strong growth potential in the sector.
FYZICAL Health & Balance Centers is experiencing significant growth as franchisee Juan Ferrer Garay opened his first physical therapy clinic in Wilson, North Carolina, in 2024. Leveraging his 20 years of marketing experience, Garay was quick to implement FYZICAL's newly introduced Marketing Suite, which provides clinics with ready-to-localize digital and print campaigns to drive patient engagement from pre-opening through expansion.
Initially, the clinic scheduled 222 patient visits in its first month, rapidly increasing to 750 by month six, showcasing the effectiveness of the Marketing Suite coupled with a strong focus on patient care. Garay's success is attributed to detailed attention to service as well as the adopted marketing strategies, which have set him on a path to expand his reach to six clinics.
His interest in FYZICAL stemmed from personal reasons, as his father's struggle with balance disorders led him to explore specialized therapeutic franchises. He recognized the brand's unique position in the market, specifically its comprehensive approach to balance therapy, which addresses issues often overlooked by traditional physical therapy clinics. Garay identified a gap in smaller cities, where access to specialized care is limited, presenting a promising business opportunity.
In terms of operational efficiency, Garay points out that the Marketing Suite has significantly reduced trial-and-error messaging efforts, enabling him to expedite patient outreach. After just two weeks of operation, demand necessitated a shift from one-hour to 40-minute appointment slots to accommodate influx. He emphasized the Marketing Suite’s pivotal role, stating, “Without the digital support from Marketing Suite, I would have spent much more time and money trialing messages in the market, which would have slowed me down.”
As a result of this strong early performance, FYZICAL's expansion strategy appears positioned for success, particularly as it taps into the growing demand for specialized therapy services. Observers may want to watch how quickly Garay can replicate this success across his planned additional locations and the overall impact on the FYZICAL system’s expansion trajectory.
