Market Growth Drivers

Physiotherapy-led services are increasing in demand with an aging population set to expand by 4m over the next 10 years. This population will drive higher incident rates (30% of the UKs over 65s experience a fall at least once a year costing the National Health Service (NHS) around 2.3bn a year) and outsourced physiotherapy services could save the NHS an estimated 275m a year.

Clinical commissioning groups currently outsource almost a third of their physiotherapy services and the opportunities for private providers are growing. A recent report by the Centre for Health and the Public Interest has uncovered the amount spent in the private sector by local commissioning bodies and NHS trusts has increased by 50. Increased focus on wellness and preventative treatments from the public will also support long-term revenue growth.
