About the group
Built by clinicians, for the long term.
The Motion Clinic Group brings together established healthcare practices specialising in foot health, foot and ankle surgery, rehabilitation and human movement.
We work with owners who are planning for retirement or considering the next stage of their business. Our approach is to understand what already works, protect the practice's reputation and patient relationships, and invest in its people, facilities, technology and future development.
As the Group grows, we are creating a more connected clinical network where practitioners can collaborate and refer across disciplines, giving patients access to a broader range of assessment, treatment and rehabilitation services while preserving their freedom of choice.
We are also developing the governance and regulatory infrastructure needed to support an expanding multidisciplinary healthcare group, including CQC registration.
The Motion Clinic Group is led by practising clinicians, not a private equity fund. Decisions are made by people who continue to see patients and understand the realities of delivering care.

Selling your business
What happens when you sell to us.
Many of the owners we speak to are not actively on the market. They simply want to understand what a sale could look like before deciding whether to take the conversation further. Here is how our process works.
What we look for
- An established, well-run practice with a team patients know and trust
- A clinician-led healthcare business in movement, health and wellbeing, or a related field
- An owner who cares what happens to the team and the patients after the sale
- A single site or multi-site practice
What we protect and build on
- Practice identity and reputation
- The team and its future
- Clinical judgement, supported by shared expertise
- Continuity of care for patients
Where we typically invest
- Premises, clinical environments and equipment
- Booking, reception and patient communications
- Websites, local visibility and responsible marketing
- Business systems and administrative support, giving clinicians more time for patients
- Training, professional development and new clinical services
How it works
- An initial conversationYou speak directly with Sian and Ewan, not a broker or analyst. The conversation is confidential, informal and carries no obligation.
- A confidential reviewBefore confidential financial information is exchanged, we put an appropriate non-disclosure agreement in place. We then review the accounts, premises, lease arrangements and team structure. If we do not believe it is the right fit, we will say so promptly.
- A clear offerWe explain the proposed value, structure, timing and what would happen after completion in plain English before either party instructs solicitors.
- A properly planned handoverWe agree a transition that works for the owner, the team and the practice.
Start the conversation
A confidential conversation with two clinicians who understand practice ownership.
If you own a healthcare practice and are considering retirement, succession or the next stage of its development, speak directly with Sian and Ewan.
An initial conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We will listen, explain how we work and tell you honestly whether we believe there may be a good fit.
- Direct contact with the Group's two founders
- A confidential and personal response
- Respect for the practice, its people and the legacy you have built
