OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Brian Watts started College Station Physical Therapy & Performance after years of burnout in high-volume physical therapy. What began with house calls, used kettlebells, and a 10-by-10 treatment room eventually became a scalable cash practice with a growing team, stronger pricing, continuity options, and a business that can operate without Brian treating full-time.
