Final Thoughts

Physical therapy is a slow moving industry and improvements in technology seem to be in baby steps, making the used market a great place for physicians to get their equipment at a fraction of the cost.


"I do a lot of start-ups and independents and the used equipment can get them up and running," Zanish says. "There are a lot of strip malls with those who don't have a lot of capital and you can find plenty of the used equipment in good condition at a low cost."

It's important to remember, no matter what piece of equipment one is purchasing, the evaluation processes should take into account factors such as performance, reliability, and cost. The weight of each factor, however, will differ according to the buyer's priorities. The goal is to maximize value for the cost and the smart buyer will look at the total cost of ownership for any device, considering not only purchase price but also maintenance costs and expected impact on income.
