Strengthening Saudi Operations
Burjeel’s Saudi subsidiary completed the acquisition of the Specialist Physiotherapy Center for 6.5 million Saudi Riyals ($1.73 million).

Growth and Integration
The center has demonstrated significant growth, with its revenues rising from SAR 1.8 million in 2021 to SAR 3.8 million in 2023, driven by increased patient demand and improved operational efficiency. As part of the acquisition, the facility will be integrated into Burjeel’s PhysioTherabia network, a specialized platform for physiotherapy and wellness services in Saudi Arabia.
Plans for Expansion
Burjeel aims to enhance the center’s offerings in the coming months by focusing on:
- Pediatric and neuro-rehabilitation programs
- Introducing advanced technologies, such as cryotherapy chambers and the David System for physiotherapy
These expansions are expected to elevate the center’s capabilities, ensuring it meets the growing demand for specialized physiotherapy services in the Kingdom.
