Age on its side

Industry growth will continue to be boosted by the aging population of baby boomers, as health conditions result in greater demand for physical therapy. The threat of Medicare caps will cause operators to be skeptical about the longevity of their benefits, resulting in slow growth. However, the industry will likely be positively affected by healthcare reform, as individuals gain benefits that they would not have had otherwise.

This industry includes firms of independent health practitioners primarily engaged in the following activities on an outpatient basis: administering medically prescribed rehabilitation for patients suffering from injuries or muscle, nerve, joint and bone disease; planning and administering educational, recreational and social activities designed to help patients or individuals with disabilities; and

diagnosing and treating speech, language or hearing problems.
