Petroski Physio is building an $11.5 million specialized physical therapy clinic and company headquarters in Bensalem, designed for injured athletes of all levels, from high schoolers to professionals, reports John George for the Philadelphia Business Journal.
The facility is taking shape on a three-acre property at 650 Bristol Pike.
Founder Nicholas Petroski said the company built its approach from scratch, aiming for an ideal recovery environment that isn’t bound by the traditional physical therapy model.
Petroski founded the company in 2018 after spotting a gap between conventional rehabilitation and the strength, speed, explosiveness, and sport-specific ability athletes need before they return to competition.
“I felt that the experience surrounding rehabilitation could be better,” he said.
The business has come a long way from its start in 400 square feet at the back of a gym. It later moved to a 2,400-square-foot Academy Road location in Northeast Philadelphia, and it’s now scaling up considerably.
The new clinic will occupy 13,000 square feet of a 25,000-square-foot Bensalem building that Petroski Physio will own.
It’s expected to open in early October with about 20 employees, and it won’t look like a typical PT office.
Plans call for turf and sports flooring, recovery areas, saunas, cold plunges, an athletes’ lounge, and a performance and coffee bar created with Philadelphia-based Rival Bros.
Patient volume has already grown to roughly 90 new patients each month.
The center will also feature strength and conditioning equipment like force plates, dynamometers, and other testing systems that measure strength, force production, and jumping ability, giving clinicians data to guide return-to-sport decisions.
The $11.5 million investment breaks down into $1.4 million for land, $8.2 million for construction, and $1.5 million for equipment and interior buildout.
Petroski Physio isn’t stopping there either; it’s planning two additional Philadelphia-area locations in 2027.
“Everything we’ve done up until this point is kind of like the introduction to the book. This building will be chapter one,” he said.
