Bonica Healthcare has launched as a new musculoskeletal healthcare group, created to unite best-in-class private practices into a single, supportive organisation. The group begins life with three founding practices spanning London, the west of Scotland and the North East of England.
Bringing together Bodytonic Clinic, The Osteopaths and Newcastle Physiotherapy, the group combines established local reputations with the scale, investment and shared expertise of a national organisation. Each practice retains its own identity, clinical team and treatments, ensuring continuity of care for patients, while gaining the backing to invest further in their people, facilities and services.
Together the founding practices offer chiropractic, osteopathy and physiotherapy alongside specialist services, serving communities with a shared commitment to clinical excellence and patient-focused care. The group’s model is designed to preserve the personal, community-rooted approach that has earned each practice its loyal following, while removing the operational burden of running a practice alone.
Our aim is to build a group that practitioners want to be part of, one that invests properly in clinical care, people and technology, while protecting the local identity and autonomy that make each practice special.
Kieron Ellis, Chief Financial Officer, Bonica Healthcare
The group intends to grow through a disciplined buy-and-build approach, partnering with high-quality practices that share its values. Investment in clinical teams, facilities and systems sits at the centre of the model, with plans to expand services and recruit additional practitioners to meet growing patient demand across all locations.
For patients and clinicians, very little changes day to day, and that is the point. The teams, the treatments and the trusted local relationships stay the same, supported now by the resources of a wider group focused on raising the standard of care.
Richard Martindale, Operations Director, Bonica Healthcare
With its founding practices in place, Bonica Healthcare is now established as a platform for further growth, with additional practices expected to join as the group builds a single brand for musculoskeletal care.
Bonica Healthcare is a UK healthcare group helping people move and feel better, through chiropractic, osteopathy and physiotherapy alongside specialist services including podiatry and men’s and women’s health. For more information, visit bonicahealthcare.co.uk/group.
