Brentwood, TN - January 6, 2026

Intune Physical Therapy, a leading provider of outpatient physical therapy services, today announced the acquisition of Epic Physical Therapy, a six-clinic physical therapy practice serving the greater Raleigh, North Carolina market. This strategic acquisition marks Intune’s entry into North Carolina and expands the company’s footprint to eight physical therapy clinics across two states.

Epic Physical Therapy has established a strong reputation in the Raleigh, NC area for high-quality, patient-centered care, clinical excellence, and a culture deeply rooted in community health.

 

“Epic has built something truly special in the Raleigh market,” said Ben Jacobs, President of Intune Physical Therapy. “Their culture, clinical excellence, and patient-first philosophy align perfectly with Intune’s values. We are excited to partner with the Epic team and invest in their continued growth as we expand access to outpatient physical therapy services in North Carolina.”

 

“Joining Intune allows us to preserve what makes Epic unique while gaining the resources and infrastructure needed to grow thoughtfully,” said Heidi Seitz, Owner of Epic Physical Therapy. “This partnership positions us to expand access to care, invest in our clinicians, and continue serving our Raleigh-area communities at the highest level.”

Intune supports its partner clinics with scalable back-office operations, clinical support, and long-term growth resources—while preserving local leadership and culture.

 

“As a family-owned company, Intune is committed to preserving the culture and strong clinical reputations of the practices we acquire,” added Jacobs. “We invest for the long term to optimize and grow both the quality of care and access to physical therapy services in the communities we serve. We believe physical therapy should be a deeply personal experience, and that starts with taking care of the people who care for our patients.”

Intune Physical Therapy Acquires Omaha Clinics to Enhance Patient-Focused Care

Family business-backed physical therapy company plans for rapid growth.

Brentwood, TN - July 26, 2025

Intune Physical Therapy (Intune), an emergent leading provider of outpatient physical therapy and rehabilitation services, has acquired Rehab Guru, a two-clinic, Omaha-based physical therapy practice. The acquisition marks Intune’s entry into the Omaha market and supports its ongoing mission of empowering healthier, more fulfilling lives through personalized care.

 

“Intune was founded on the belief that physical therapy should be personal, inclusive of both care tailored to each individual’s goals and circumstances, and an outstanding patient experience based on lasting relationships,” said Ben Jacobs, President of Intune. “Rehab Guru has a strong reputation for clinical excellence, and its commitment to personalized treatment and whole-body wellness aligns with Intune’s mission and vision.”

 

“After years of building our practice and serving the community, it was incredibly important to find a partner that shared our purpose, upheld our values, and could carry our mission forward,” said Diana Schwahn, owner and founder of Rehab Guru. “Like Rehab Guru, Intune prioritizes personalized, high-quality patient care, and joining forces with Intune provides our team with leading resources, benefits, and professional growth opportunities.”

 

Intune is expanding strategically throughout Omaha, across the Midwest, and the Southeast—not just to grow, but to restore what’s been lost in physical therapy. The industry has drifted from patient-centered care, often overlooking the importance of local connection and whole-person treatment. It is Intune’s aim to bring it back.

 

By partnering with local businesses and staying rooted in community, Intune is committed to treating the whole patient and building meaningful relationships. The company’s goal is to foster stronger lives, healthier communities, and care that truly serves. Intune’s parent company, Highland Ventures, is a family business with a legacy that spans over 75 years. Today, it is a national venture management company focused on strategically developing and operating businesses centered around owned real estate. In addition to Intune, Highland Ventures operates Legacy Commercial Property, a commercial real estate company with a portfolio of over 700 properties, and Hoogland Restaurant Group, the largest owner/operator of Marco’s Pizza franchises with more than 120 locations.

The company is dedicated to a human-centered approach, where personal aspirations and challenges are as important as the medical diagnosis. From elite athletes to active seniors, Intune creates paths to recovery that resonate with each person’s life and goals.
