Fusion Physical Therapy Partners Expands into Vermont with Addition of BE Fit Physical Therapy

Hanover, NH, May 4.2026 – Fusion Physical Therapy Partners (Fusion) is pleased to announce its newest partnership with BE Fit Physical Therapy, a leading outpatient physical therapy provider serving the Upper Valley region of Vermont and New Hampshire. This partnership marks Fusion’s first entry into Vermont and continues its strategic growth across New England.

With locations in White River Junction, VT and Hanover, NH, BE Fit Physical Therapy has established itself as a regional leader in orthopedic and sports rehabilitation. The practice is known for its individualized, hands-on approach to care, combining manual therapy, sport￾specific exercise, and patient education to help individuals achieve their goals and maintain active lifestyles.

Founders Eric Ellingson, MSPT, and David Barlow, DPT, OCS, developed BE Fit around a deliberate clinical model: experienced physical therapists, one-on-one care, and treatment plans designed to restore performance, not just relieve symptoms. That approach has positioned the practice as a trusted provider for an active population seeking high-quality, outcomes-driven care.

“BE Fit represents exactly the type of practice we are committed to partnering with clinician-owned, values-driven, and deeply embedded in its community,” said Adam Fishman, CEO of Fusion. “Eric and David have built a business around clinical integrity and long-term patient outcomes. Our role is to support that foundation by providing the operational, strategic, and administrative infrastructure behind the scenes so they can remain focused on delivering exceptional care. This partnership also marks an important milestone as we expand into Vermont.”

“From the outset, we built BE Fit to reflect what we believe physical therapy should be: thoughtful, individualized, and centered on helping people stay active,” said Eric Ellingson, MSPT, co-owner of BE Fit Physical Therapy. “Fusion brings the resources and support to strengthen our operations without changing who we are. That alignment was critical for us.”

“Joining Fusion allows us to continue investing in our team and our patients while maintaining the clinical standards and culture we’ve established over the past 15 years,” added David Barlow, DPT, OCS, co-owner of BE Fit Physical Therapy. “We see this as a long￾term partnership that positions us for sustainable growth while staying true to our roots in the Upper Valley.”

Fusion continues to expand its network by partnering with established, high-performing physical therapy practices that prioritize clinical excellence, strong local leadership, and community connection. The organization’s model enables practice owners to retain their identity and clinical autonomy while gaining access to shared infrastructure across operations, compliance, human resources, and growth strategy.
