Rehab 2 Perform, a trailblazing leader in performance-based physical therapy, has been recognized as a 2025 CO—100 Top Honoree in the Growth Accelerators category. Founded in 2014 by Dr. Josh Funk, this Maryland- and Virginia-based company has evolved from a single clinic inside a sublet gym into one of the Mid-Atlantic’s most dynamic healthcare innovators—redefining how active individuals of all ages experience rehabilitation and long-term performance care.
Redefining the physical therapy experience
As a lifelong athlete and Division I lacrosse player at Ohio State, Funk experienced firsthand the elite standard of care reserved for collegiate athletes after a college shoulder injury. He quickly recognized a glaring gap between that high-performance treatment and what was available to the general public. That realization inspired the creation of Rehab 2 Perform: clinics designed to deliver pro-sports-level care in a welcoming, gym-based environment—making top-tier rehabilitation accessible to every active individual.
“If we put you in a gym to experience health care, you might naturally enjoy that … more than a hospital or something that would be viewed as sterile,” explained Funk. “We turn a ‘have to’ into a ‘get to,’ making rehabilitation not just recovery, but an empowering part of an active lifestyle.”
The approach has resonated with a wide audience, from student-athletes and weekend warriors to postpartum women and active older adults. By combining clinical expertise with performance-based training, the company has created a model that feels both accessible and enjoyable — one that patients choose to engage with earlier and more often.

Scaling with intention and a people-focused approach
Rehab 2 Perform’s growth has been nothing short of remarkable: a six-time Inc. 5000 honoree, consistently achieving at least 30% annual revenue growth while never compromising on its core values. Behind the numbers is a deliberate strategy built around systems, culture, and people—proving that scaling a healthcare company can be both high-growth and deeply human.
“Scaling has been as much about growing people as growing footprint,” said Funk. “One of our biggest challenges was maintaining culture and consistency as we expanded from one clinic to 12+ locations.”
To support this, Funk and his team formalized a Clinic Launch Playbook and Leadership Development Pathway to ensure consistency across sites, while also investing in platforms like Prompt and Weave to streamline scheduling, billing, and communication. These tools allow each new location to scale without losing the entrepreneurial, high-performance culture that defines the brand.

Driving community-centered growth
Rehab 2 Perform’s focus on people extends beyond operations and drives the brand’s impact in local communities. Before opening in Annapolis, the company executed a 12-month engagement plan that included physician meetups, referral partner tours, media coverage, and grassroots events. The result? That clinic broke the company’s Year 1 volume record.
This community-first philosophy begins with the team itself. Recognized as a Great Place to Work® for multiple consecutive years, Rehab 2 Perform invests heavily in professional development, mentorship, and recognition programs—cultivating a workplace where top clinical talent thrives and remains inspired to deliver exceptional care.
“Growth isn’t just about more — it’s about better,” Funk explained. “Better systems, better people, and better service, so that every expansion reflects who we are at our core: a place where people move, feel, and perform like better versions of themselves.”
With over 10,000 new patients served in 2025 and additional locations on the horizon, Rehab 2 Perform continues to raise the bar for what modern rehabilitative care can be. By blending athlete-caliber treatment, scalable systems, and deep community engagement, the company is not only transforming lives across the Mid-Atlantic but also setting a new national standard for performance-based healthcare.
