Fyzical Therapy & Balance Centers, a nationwide physical therapy franchise, announced that Louis San Miguel has joined the company as chief financial officer. San Miguel will oversee finance, accounting, planning, and analytics functions, partnering with executive leadership to support clinic-level performance, franchisees and continued national expansion.
Fyzical Therapy & Balance Centers has over 600 locations across 47 states.
San Miguel joins the company from Gastro Health, a U.S. physician-practice platform that specializes in gastrointestinal care. He served as VP of Finance & Accounting for nearly ten years, supporting the organization’s growth, which expanded from 60 physicians in one state to nearly 400 and 200 advanced practitioners across seven states. He facilitated a 2021 recapitalization, transitioning sponsorship from Audax Private Equity to Omers Private Equity and led the team responsible for the financial health of the organization, overseeing budgeting, financial reporting, and compliance.
“Louis brings precisely the blend of rigor, scalability and healthcare-services experience we value,” said CEO Wayne Cavanaugh. “His track record of building durable finance infrastructure in high-growth, multi-site organizations will help us sharpen clinic economics, invest with discipline and deliver even greater support for our franchisees as we accelerate Fyzical’s momentum nationwide.”
Prior to Gastro Health, San Miguel worked in KPMG’s Financial Due Diligence practice and began his career as an auditor at Deloitte & Touche. He earned his MBA in Finance and BS in Accounting from Fordham University in New York City.
“I look forward to serving the leadership team as a trusted partner, ensuring fiscal discipline while also identifying and capitalizing on opportunities for long-term value creation for Fyzical and its franchisees,” said San Miguel.
